St. Louis thrash band ThorHammer have been swinging since 2014 with a no-frills approach to the genre — riff-driven, hard-hitting, and rooted in the classic American thrash tradition that values aggression over innovation.
Thormesis is a pagan/black metal band from Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany, formed in 2015. They channel Germanic pagan traditions through raw black metal from the medieval Franconian town.
Black metal project from Brasília, Distrito Federal, operated by the musician known as Thormianak, who also serves as guitarist in the pagan black metal band Miasthenia. In addition to the original black metal material released in the late 1990s, Thormianak released solo experimental recordings on Bandcamp, including the instrumental collection lost tracks II and extreme-metal settings of three poems by Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa.
Thormënt from Asturias blend power, death, and thrash metal into a versatile extreme metal package from northwestern Spain's mountainous principality since 2022. Their multi-genre approach channels the rugged Cantabrian landscape through compositions that shift between melodic grandeur and brutal aggression.
Dallas, Texas's Thorn formed in 2023 playing traditional heavy metal and power metal, joining a city with a long history of the genre and bringing melody, anthem-ready hooks, and twin-guitar power to the Texas metal scene.
A Phoenix, Arizona death/doom act also formed in 2023, Thorn blend the suffocating weight of funeral-adjacent doom with death metal's aggression, conjuring an atmosphere as unforgiving as the desert heat.
A sludge metal outfit from New Brunswick, New Jersey, Thorn formed in 2023 and plays the kind of heavy, slow-burning music that the Garden State's underground has quietly nurtured for years. Their sound leans into the suffocating density that defines modern sludge, all crushing riffs and deliberate pacing.
Thorn Burial is a thrash metal band from Larissa, active since 2013. Their music delivers aggressive thrash with the sharp, piercing intensity their barbed name suggests.
