East Longmeadow, Massachusetts's Threshold channel the velocity and aggression of classic thrash and speed metal, playing with the kind of tightly wound, riff-obsessed intensity that defined the genre's early years.
Atlanta, Georgia's Threshold of Pain fuse the muscular backbone of heavy metal with punk-inflected urgency and hard rock swagger, forging a raucous, street-level sound that resists easy categorization since their formation in 2015.
Long Branch, New Jersey's Threshold of Pain grind out thrash and groove metal with the kind of blunt-force conviction you'd expect from the Jersey Shore underground — heavy, aggressive, and uninterested in subtlety.
Threshold Sicks from Perth in Scotland deliver thrash metal and metalcore with the punning sickness their name implies since 2007. Nearly two decades from the Fair City has produced compositions that push past the threshold of intensity.
Thrash metal band from Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, formed in 2017 by guitarist duo Lucas Souza and Gabriel Theofelo alongside bassist/vocalist Matheus Prusse and drummer John Kuntze.

Brooklyn's Throaat have been one of New York City's more ferocious underground exports since 2013, mashing speed, thrash, and black metal into a filthy, relentless hybrid that strips away any pretension in favor of raw, primordial attack.
Throbbing Pain from Hamburg evolved from a groove/death/thrash metal hybrid into a more focused death metal attack, channeling the city's maritime grit into punishing compositions since 2014. Their name captures the relentless, pulsing aggression that drives their sound.
Throes of Perdition is a thrash/death metal band from Eboli in the province of Salerno, active since 2013. Their agonized name captures the intense suffering they channel through extreme thrash and death metal from Campania.
Seattle's Throne of Bone have been riding the black/thrash intersection since 2011, combining the reckless speed of old-school thrash with the filth and darkness of underground black metal in the Pacific Northwest tradition of no-frills extremity.
