Metastasi is a thrash metal act from the Paduan town of Piazzola sul Brenta, active since 2019. The band channels the aggressive spread suggested by their medical name into relentless thrash compositions.
Metastasis is a death/thrash metal band from Quilpué, Valparaíso, Chile, formed in 2006 by Gabriel Quinteros and Eduardo Madariaga, whose name was suggested by a friend who had battled cancer as a reflection of the band's death-themed subject matter. Their discography spans the 2011 compilation From the Snow the Executioner Rises Again (Suffering Jesus Production), the 2014 full-length The Essence That Precedes Death, and the 2024 album Fatal Morphosis, recorded at Vardager Records in Quilpué.
Metatron is a melodic death and thrash metal band from Ilford, England, formed in 2014. They blend melodic death metal's harmonic sweep with thrash's velocity.
Houston's Metavenge have been tearing through the Texas thrash underground since 2012, distinguishing themselves with a melodic edge that sets them apart from the more blunt-force acts in the scene. Metal-Archives tags them as melodic thrash, and that precision shows in their songwriting — leads that soar over groove-locked rhythms, arrangements that breathe without losing intensity. They are a reliable fixture of the Houston metal circuit, building a catalog that rewards listeners who want thrash with craft behind it.
A death/thrash metal band formed in 1988 in Dampremy, Hainaut, Belgium, featuring a multi-piece lineup including vocalist Serge Natalizio and guitarist Dan Vandeplas. They recorded the demo 'Vision of Terror' in 1989, representing Wallonia's early extreme metal underground before the band's dissolution in the early 1990s.
Meteor is a heavy and thrash metal band from Le Poiré-sur-Vie, France, formed in 2015. They fuse classic heavy metal with thrash's aggressive momentum.

San Luis Obispo's Meth Leppard play exactly the kind of scuzzy, riff-addled rock that their gleefully irreverent name promises — a collision of stoner metal's THC-soaked grooves with thrash metal's punk-derived velocity. Formed in 2015 on California's Central Coast, they stake out a territory between the desert rock tradition and thrash 'n' roll swagger, keeping things loose and heavy in equal measure. They are a party band in the best sense: unpretentious, loud, and built for the stage.
Methal Kyrios is a thrash metal band from Santa Rosa, La Pampa, Argentina, formed by guitarist Santiago Robles, bassist/vocalist Mauro Queupul, and drummer Federico Montero. They have released two full-length albums — Disipando Tinieblas (2018) and Síndrome Oscuro (2021) — and were working on a third record titled ULTRA as of early 2026.
