Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania death metal project with seven releases since 2013, including the eclectically titled C.R.A.T.E Diggin' EP and bamboo forest EP. A prolific act whose diverse catalog suggests a restless creative mind working through multiple influences from central PA.
Silver Spring speed metal project from the Maryland underground.
Aphrenety has evolved from thrash, death, and groove metal into a black and death metal combination from Wolfsburg, the Volkswagen city, since 2021. Their name, suggesting a frenetic loss of reason, drives their Lower Saxony-bred extremity through multiple stylistic phases.
Apocalips delivers melodic thrash metal from Timișoara since 2023. From the Banat capital that triggered Romania's liberation, they forge high-speed melodic aggression.
Sterling Heights thrash metal project from the Michigan underground.
Apocalypse Addiction delivers crossover thrash from London since 2016, their end-times-dependency name capturing the compulsive nature of their punk-metal fury. Over a decade of London thrash speaks to sustained energy.
Apocalypse Conspiracy thrashes from Lagoa in the Algarve since 2023. Their end-times paranoia name drives high-speed compositions from Portugal's southernmost tourist coast — an unlikely thrash metal outpost.

Salem, Massachusetts thrash metal act arriving in 2024 with a demo and full-length. Bathoric Pestilence and Thrashing Vengeance channel the Witch City's dark history through pure thrash fury — a fitting marriage of location and sound.
