Formed in Uberlândia with the explicit goal of fusing New York hardcore aggression with thrash metal heaviness, No Defeat released the EP M em M in 2010 and the full-length Escolhas Que Precedem a Conquista in 2012.

Long Island's No Escape launched in 2021 playing the kind of crossover thrash that splits the difference between Slayer's riff vocabulary and hardcore's blunt-force delivery — fast, mean, and unpretentious. They tap into the same working-class aggression that gave the New York/New Jersey crossover scene its teeth in the 1980s, updating the template with a modern tightness while keeping the raw urgency intact.
No Flag is a thrash metal and crossover band from Lille, France, formed in 2019. Their sound blends the speed and aggression of thrash metal with the punk energy of crossover.
