Saint Petersburg's Seven Iron Kicks pair groove and thrash metal from the cultural capital since 2015. Their name of metallic violence and imperial-city origins channel counted percussive impacts into rhythmically aggressive compositions.
San Francisco's Seven of Swords channel the Bay Area's rich thrash heritage through a lens of classic heavy metal energy, combining sharp, aggressive riffwork with a reverence for the melodic crunch of early-80s metal. Active since 2019, they bridge the gap between heads-down thrash fury and the hook-driven momentum of traditional heavy metal.
Banska Bystrica's Seven Painful pair death and thrash metal from the central Slovak city since 2017. Their name referencing the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary and origins in the heart of Slovakia channel religious suffering into compositions of dual-genre aggression.
Thrash metal band from Izegem in West Flanders, formed in 2020. Their aggressive approach to thrash channels the genre's classic energy through the lens of Belgium's active Flemish metal community.
Razor-sharp Death / Thrash Metal from San Antonio.
Sexlucifer forge black/thrash metal from the Finnish underground, combining blasphemous provocation with dual-genre aggression. Active since 2016, they bring infernal intensity to the Nordic black/thrash scene.
