German death/thrash metal project formed in 2025, delivering raw aggression through a volatile blend of death and thrash metal. Their approach channels the primal fury of both genres with uncompromising intensity.
Los Angeles death metal outfit Lepra have been rotting through the City of Angels' underground since 2019, offering no melodic concessions and no apologies. Old-school in instinct, unrelenting in practice.
Pittsburgh's Leprosy began as a thrash band in 2021 before the rot set in and death metal claimed them fully — a natural arc for a city whose metal history runs from Carnivore to the present. Heavy, grim, and unsentimental.
Out of Hopewell Junction, Leprosy mash crossover thrash's speed and aggression with creeping doom tempos, carving out a peculiar niche in the Hudson Valley underground since 2021.
Colorado Springs thrashers Lese Majesty have been sharpening their riff arsenal since 2015, delivering the kind of tight, no-nonsense thrash that the Rockies' high altitude seems to demand.
Named for the Slavic forest spirit, Phoenix's Leshen blend technical progressive structures with thrash's kinetic drive — music that stalks through the desert heat with ancient menace.
Two-plus decades deep in the Oxnard underground, Lesion grind out a raw hybrid of thrash and death metal that carries the working-class grit of Southern California's surf-and-steel coast.
Belgian melodic thrash/groove metal band from Ulbeek, combining hooky melodic lines with thick groove-driven riffs since 2017. Their approach bridges the gap between classic thrash precision and modern groove metal punch.
Prague-based death/thrash metal band active since 2018, blending melodic thrash and death metal with metalcore sensibilities. Their album 'The Journey' and follow-up 'Towards The Sun' feature dynamic song structures ranging from sub-two-minute bursts to sprawling seven-minute epics.
