Thrash metal band from Johanneshov, Sweden, formed in 2012, delivering over a decade of psychotic thrash metal from the Stockholm suburb. They bring deranged intensity to the Swedish thrash scene.
Psychodeath is a deathcore band from Vitória, Espírito Santo, who debuted with the "Psycho EP 2011" and won the Espírito Santo regional of Wacken Metal Battle Brazil that same year. Their first full-length album, "Someone to Harm," was released in December 2012 and circulated on international extreme music websites, expanding the band's reach beyond the Capixaba metal scene where they had shared stages with acts including Paul Di'Anno and Torture Squad.
Hailing from Michigan City, Indiana, Psychomancer have been conjuring death-thrash metal since 2015 — their sound sits at the intersection of technical thrash aggression and old-school death metal weight, with deep roots in the Great Lakes underground.
Based out of rural southeastern Ohio, Psychomancy formed in 2020 playing a groove-heavy thrash metal hybrid that pulls from the rhythmic muscle of groove metal while keeping the riffing speed and attitude of classic thrash firmly intact.
Kassel's Promethean Fire has been forging technical melodic death metal since 2022, their mythological name evoking the theft of divine knowledge. Their Hessian base breeds compositions that balance precision picking with the genre's signature harmonic sweep.
Death metal band from Denmark, formed in 2017, exploring themes of psychological transformation through crushing death metal. Their name suggests metamorphosis of the mind, matching the intense nature of their sound.
Psychoneurosis was a death metal band from Rio de Janeiro active in the mid-1990s, whose material was recorded and mixed at Uptown Studio in Rio de Janeiro in May and June of 1994. Their four contributions to the 1995 three-way split "Death or Glory Vol. 1" — "The Crypt," "Shadows," "Neurotic Curse," and "Mastering a Nightmare" — alongside São Paulo's Abscess and Extorsion represent their primary documented output.
Brandenburg's Pavianass brings irreverent thrash metal to the eastern German flatlands since 2022. Their provocative name signals a band less interested in genre orthodoxy than in delivering high-energy, tongue-in-cheek aggression.
Rochester, New York's Psychopath channel melodic death metal through an American lens — formed in 2019, they pair Scandinavian-influenced melody and harmony with a rawer, more direct approach that suits the upstate underground circuit.
