Anti-Bastard merges crust punk with thrash metal from Newcastle upon Tyne since 2018, their aggressively confrontational name matching the fury of their Tyneside crossover. Their northeast English origins feed a distinctly working-class punk-metal hybrid.
Los Angeles thrash metal outfit active since 2009, delivering conceptual thrash across multiple releases. The Battle of Mechanopolis builds a sci-fi narrative while Humans Are the Dumbest Animal takes a more satirical aim, all wrapped in tight, aggressive LA thrash.
Antibreed has been delivering crossover thrash from the Surrey town of Godalming since 2004, making them one of the Home Counties' longest-running thrash acts. Over two decades of punk-metal fusion speak to extraordinary dedication.
Lilburn/Atlanta thrash metal act whose albums Good Vids, Vile Times and social performer blend irreverent humor with genuine aggression. Active since 2020, they bring a self-aware energy to Georgia's thrash scene that sets them apart from the genre's more po-faced practitioners.
AntiCorpse fuses black metal, death metal, and thrash metal from the small Breton port of Paimpol since 2017, bringing triple-genre extremity to the Côtes-d'Armor. Their anti-corpse name and maritime origins create a uniquely Breton flavor of extreme metal.
Howell, New Jersey thrash metal outfit with two albums since 2015. Their self-titled debut and The Call of the Void trace an evolution from straightforward thrash into more existential territory, the latter title nodding to the French concept of l'appel du vide.

Haddam thrash metal project from the Connecticut underground.
AntiFatum blends black and thrash metal with crust from Stockholm since 2023. Their fate-opposing name drives compositions of defiant rebellion against destiny from the Swedish capital.
