A supergroup side project drawing members from Sepultura, Threat, and Nitrominds, Musica Diablo united Sepultura frontman Derrick Green with guitarists André NM and André Curci for a pure old-school crossover thrash assault. Their self-titled debut from 2010 packs eleven tracks of raw, São Paulo–forged aggression, produced by Rafael Ramos; the band dissolved the following year after Green refocused on Sepultura.
Must Kill is a thrash/death metal act from Milton Keynes, delivering aggressive extremity since 2020. The band channels the new town's unexpected underground energy into ripping, high-velocity compositions.
Tampa, Florida's Must Not Kill draw from thrash metal's aggression, metalcore's melodic bite, and groove metal's hip-swinging heaviness to construct a modern extreme sound with broad appeal. Formed in 2015, they represent the Tampa Bay area's continued tradition of productive metal hybridization.
Mustaphorius play the kind of no-frills crossover thrash that worships at the altar of hardcore punk and late-1980s speed metal, with an irreverent streak that runs through their track titles and stagecraft. The band put out the EP "Bebidas e Mosh" in 2015 and returned in 2023 with their full-length "Homem Horrível", cementing their place in Curitiba's underground extreme scene.
Hailing from Herten in the Ruhr area, Musty Guts pairs death and thrash metal with a visceral, old-school approach to extremity. Active since 2018, the band channels the industrial heritage of their surroundings into grinding, aggressive compositions.
Mutagenocide is a power, groove, and thrash metal band from Oxford, England, formed in 2012. They blend power metal's energy with groove and thrash metal's aggression.
San Marcos, Texas's Mutant Disease blend heavy and thrash metal into a hard-hitting hybrid that carries the swagger of the former and the velocity of the latter, landing in the rowdy tradition of Texas speed metal. Formed in 2016, they operate in the fertile Central Texas corridor between Austin and San Antonio.
Mutant Sperm Quartet is a deliberately unconventional metal band from Palma del Río, Spain, embracing imperfection and irregularity. From 'The Swell Pubic Hair Trimmer' (2012) through 'Hell Mulacornio' (2020), their discography rejects algorithmic polish in favor of raw, uncompromising expression recorded at Buldozer Studios.
A thrash metal act from Reading, Mutant Zombie Foetus has been delivering aggressive, horror-themed compositions since 2009. The band's deliberately grotesque name matches their commitment to over-the-top thrash metal mayhem.
