Modena heavy/thrash metal outfit formed in 2014, delivering aggressive riffing from the heart of Emilia-Romagna's motor valley. Their dual approach draws from heavy metal's melodic power and thrash's relentless speed.
Wisconsin's Nobody — a separate entity from their Cincinnati namesake — have been working groove and thrash metal since 2018 with the straightforward muscle that both genres demand. Their sound favors the mid-paced groove over flat-out thrash velocity, building riffs with the kind of density and swing that rewards repeated listening, representing a quietly tenacious corner of the Midwest's underground metal scene.
Nocardia is a thrash metal band from Otegem in Belgium's West Flanders province, active since 2013. Named after the bacterial genus, the band brings clinical thrash metal precision to the Flemish underground.
Nocheterna is a band from Seville that evolved from thrash metal origins into symphonic heavy metal since 2014. The band's name meaning 'eternal night' guides their increasingly orchestral approach from the Andalusian capital.
Florence blackened speed/thrash metal act launched in 2023, fusing the raw velocity of speed metal with black metal's atmospheric darkness. Their incendiary approach channels multiple extreme traditions through a Renaissance city lens.

Pennsauken, New Jersey's Nocturnal Fear have been delivering punishing crossover thrash since 2008, blending the pit-ready aggression of hardcore with the velocity of thrash and the bruising weight of death metal. Their sound sits at the collision point of genres — close to the street-level fury of bands like Nuclear Assault but with a nastier, more death-metal-informed bite. More than fifteen years into their run, they've remained one of New Jersey's most persistently aggressive metal outfits.
Nocturnal Hell is a black/thrash metal band from Pontevedra in Galicia, active since 2008. The band has delivered nearly two decades of blackened thrash fury from the Rias Baixas coast of northwestern Spain.
Nocturnal Witch is a black/thrash metal band from Neustadt an der Orla in Thuringia, active since 2014. The band casts blackened thrash spells from the eastern German countryside.
