Nuclear Omnicide is a crossover thrash metal band from Kirkkonummi, Finland, blending thrash, death metal, and crossover aggression across releases like Bringers of Disease and their self-titled second album. Recorded at Suomenlinna Studios in Helsinki, their music delivers relentless, high-velocity metal.
Nuclear Power Trio is an instrumental progressive metal band from Denver, Colorado, formed in 2017 by Greg Burgess, Nick Schendzielos, and Pete Webber. The band performs in character as caricatures of Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, framing technically demanding, often comedically titled instrumental compositions within a satirical conceit. Albums including A Clear and Present Rager and Wet Ass Plutonium (2023) demonstrate genuine instrumental facility beneath the high-concept presentation.
Nuclear Revenge is a thrash/black metal band from Vitoria-Gasteiz, the capital of the Basque Country's Alava province, active since 2018. The band brings nuclear-level thrash aggression to the Basque interior.
Nuclear Salvation is a thrash metal band from Jönköping, Sweden, active since 2011. The band delivers relentless thrash metal fury from the Småland region.
Nuclear Screams traffic in a dense blend of death, thrash, speed, and melodic death metal that leans heavily on aggression without abandoning hooks.

Nuclear Season is a death metal band from Dalsland, Sweden, formed in 2019. The band channels raw death metal from the sparsely populated western Swedish landscape.
