Thrasherwolf from London deliver thrash metal with the predatory, lupine ferocity their compound name demands since 2020. Their compositions hunt through the British capital's thrash underground with fanged aggression.
Thrashgression from the Basque surfing town of Zarautz deliver thrash metal with the aggressive force their portmanteau name — thrash plus aggression — demands since 2014. Their coastal Gipuzkoan setting brings Atlantic storm energy to their riff-driven assault.
