Thrash metal band from Itapira, São Paulo, formed in July 2008 by guitarists Lúcio Nunes and Lucas Aldi, bassist Wellington Clemente, vocalist Daniel Macedo, and drummer Rafael Coradi. Their debut album 'Pray for the Dead' (2011) was produced by Ricardo Piccoli, the follow-up 'Katharsis' (2014) was co-produced by Danish producer Tue Madsen at Antfarm Studio, and the band opened for Angra and Ratos de Porão during their active years.
Out of Pasco, Washington, Slasher Dimension have been crafting death metal since 2017, drawing on the Pacific Northwest's quieter but tenacious extreme underground. Their Bandcamp suggests a band operating at the grimy, no-compromise end of the death metal spectrum.
Brooklyn's Slashers charge out of New York City's dense underground with crossover thrash that pulls equally from hardcore pit energy and classic metal aggression. Active since 2017, they carry on a lineage of NYC crossover acts who treat the genre as a contact sport.
Miami's Slashpine have operated in the noise-drenched fringes of black metal since 2011, combining corrosive raw black metal aesthetics with noise music's abrasive textures. The 305 area code embedded in their Bandcamp handle grounds them firmly in South Florida's confrontational DIY underground.

The band toured North America in 2017 alongside fellow Chilean labelmates Communion and recorded Alchemical Warfare at DM6 studio in Santiago with Pablo Clares.

Slaughter formed in Toronto, Canada in August 1984, becoming one of the earliest and most important acts in the development of death metal as a distinct genre. Founded by Terry Sadler and Dave Hewson, the band's demo recordings — particularly Surrender or Die — circulated widely through the international tape-trading network and helped define the sonic template that would characterize early death metal. The band briefly featured Chuck Schuldiner of Death in 1986, and their debut album Strappado (1987) remains a foundational document of the style. Slaughter's ferocious combination of hardcore punk aggression with extreme metal riffing made them a key link between the two worlds.
An Austin, Texas groove metal band active since 2016, Slaughter Bought channel the heavy mid-tempo churn and down-tuned riffing that defines the genre into something built for the sweltering Texas live circuit. They represent the heavier end of Austin's famously eclectic music scene.
Kearny, New Jersey's Slaughter House have been a fixture of the Garden State thrash underground since 2009, forging their sound in the dense, blue-collar industrial landscape across the Hudson from New York City. Their longevity in a competitive regional scene speaks to a dedicated following built show by show.
