Venice, California's Suicidal Tendencies, led by the irrepressible Mike Muir, are one of the most important bands in the history of crossover thrash, having bridged the gap between hardcore punk and thrash metal since their 1983 self-titled debut and its iconic anthem 'Institutionalized.' Their influence extends across punk, metal, and funk metal through the groundbreaking work of members like Robert Trujillo (now in Metallica) and guitarist Rocky George. Four decades in, Suicidal Tendencies remain a furious, unpredictable live force whose impact on heavy music's cross-pollination of genres cannot be overstated.
Suicidal Years is a depressive black metal project from Irapuato, Guanajuato, Mexico, active from 2011 to 2025. The project was a solo effort by multi-instrumentalist Astarot, releasing a string of EPs including Cries of Despair and Suicide (2012), Contemplation of Self-Destruction (2014), and H.O.P.E. (2020) on Maa Productions.
SuicidalGrind pair power and death metal from an undisclosed Swedish location since 2023. Their provocative compound name channels the paradox of self-destructive extremity into compositions that unexpectedly merge two distant subgenres.
