Los Angeles's Nox Sinister are a fresh heavy/thrash act formed in 2023, drawing from the deep well of classic West Coast thrash while rooting their attack in the power and clarity of traditional heavy metal. Even in their early days, they demonstrate an awareness of what made the genre great — tight rhythm section work, riff economy, and vocals that cut through the mix.
Furious Thrash Metal from Houston.
Noyade is a thrash metal and metalcore band from Copenhagen, active since 2013. The band's French name meaning 'drowning' drives their suffocating blend of thrash and metalcore from the Danish capital.
Nucflash is a thrash metal band from Buenos Aires, Argentina, that emerged from an earlier project called Warfare before settling on their current lineup and name. They released the EP Spreading the Virus in 2011 and The Purifying Fire in 2017, and shared the stage with German thrash veterans Kreator in 2013.
Nucleador came out of Sergipe playing uncompromising crossover thrash in the mold of the 1980s hardcore and thrash collision, recording their first EP within six months of forming despite none of the members having prior experience in the genre. They've built a steady catalog since, including the 2014 EP United by the Toxic and the 2021 full-length Back From the Dead, earning a spot at São Paulo's Night of Living Thrashers festival early in their career.
Nuclear Age emerged from Rancho Cucamonga, California in 2014, forging a punishing blend of death and thrash metal that channels the genre's most ferocious traditions. Their sound favors relentless speed and a raw, uncompromising edge, placing them squarely in the Southern California extreme metal underground. Over a decade in, they remain active and unrepentant.
Nuclear Antichrist is a death/thrash metal band from Seville, active since 2018. The band delivers apocalyptic extremity from the Andalusian capital.
