Saint Paul, Minnesota's Semtex formed in 2021 and take an explosive approach to progressive thrash, combining the rhythmic intensity and angular riffing of thrash with the structural ambition and harmonic complexity that progressive metal demands. Named after the plastic explosive, their music favors precision over chaos — tight arrangements, shifting time signatures, and a forward-thinking approach that sets them apart from straightforward thrash revivalism. They reflect the technical ambitions that have been quietly flourishing in the Twin Cities metal scene.
Black thrash metal band from Brasília, Distrito Federal, formed in 2020. They released the five-track EP Ataque Bestial on February 19, 2020, their debut recording.

Seppuka rip through thrash metal and crossover from Cesky Tesin, a border town straddling Czech and Polish territory. Their high-energy sound reflects the crossover tradition's fusion of punk urgency with thrash metal's technical aggression.
Formed in 2021 in Opelika, Alabama, Septarian forge a sound that fuses the melodic sweep of Scandinavian death metal with the aggressive riff velocity of thrash. Their approach leans hard into dual-guitar interplay and driving rhythms that never sacrifice hook for brutality. Still a young band, they represent a promising new voice in the American melodic death/thrash underground.
Septical Mind have been thrashing from the Picardy city of Amiens since 2016, channeling septic-minded aggression from the Somme River valley. They bring contaminated velocity to the northern French thrash scene.
Viennese death/thrash metal band formed in 2019, channeling the aggression and speed of both genres into a punishing sonic assault. Their music carries forward the legacy of late-'80s crossover extremity with a contemporary edge forged in Austria's active underground metal community.
