Savage Gothic / Groove / Death Metal out of Texas.
Through Carnage from Dresden fuse melodic death metal with thrash metal velocity, cutting through the Saxon scene with harmonized leads and relentless aggression since 2014. Their sound navigates the battle-scarred terrain between Gothenburg melodicism and Teutonic thrash ferocity.
Chicago's Through n Through have been playing a raw, uncompromising fusion of thrash metal, crossover, and hardcore since 2014, embodying the DIY ethos of the Chicago underground with no frills attached. Their sound is fast, aggressive, and indebted equally to Bay Area thrash and East Coast hardcore, filtered through a Midwest bluntness.
Asheville, North Carolina's Through the Fallen have been mixing classic heavy metal tonality with thrash aggression since 2014, playing to the strengths of Appalachian mountain town DIY culture where heavy music thrives outside of any major industry infrastructure. Their sound bridges the twin-guitar melodicism of traditional metal with the speed and riff density of thrash.
Washington state's Thud have been stirring doom, thrash, and stoner influences into a combustible mix since 2016, their Bandcamp presence under the name Songs for Children suggesting a sardonic sensibility beneath the genre-blending heaviness.
Thunder Ace from Los Palacios y Villafranca near Seville deliver thrash and groove metal with the high-flying intensity of a fighter pilot's callsign since 2017. Their Andalusian origin brings southern Spanish fire to their riff-heavy assault.
San Diego's Thunder Demon have been operating at the thrash-black crossroads since 2014, injecting black metal's cold malice into a thrash framework that keeps the energy volatile and the attack relentless.
A St. Augustine, Florida outfit born in 2013, Thunderhoof crushes through the collision of thrash aggression and doom-laden weight, building riffs that lurch between punishing velocity and slow, suffocating heaviness. Their coastal Florida roots give the band a raw, swamp-caked edge that sets them apart from both scenes they straddle.
Ferocious Black / Thrash Metal from Houston.
