Orange County's Throwdown began in 1999 as a force in metalcore and hardcore before evolving into a groove-heavy machine influenced by Pantera-style crunch, earning a loyal following across both worlds over two decades of punishing live performances.
Vienna heavy metal band ThrowingShade draw from the classic hard rock and metal canon — reviewers have cited Metallica and Pantera as touchstones for their riff-forward, hook-driven approach. Their self-titled album includes the track "Bitch Machine" and reflects a no-frills, live-energy-first sensibility honed through regular performances at Vienna venues.
Portland's Thrown blend heavy, doom, and speed metal into a genre-crossing assault born in 2017, channeling the darkness of traditional doom against the kinetic drive of speed metal in a way that feels distinctly Pacific Northwest.
Los Angeles metalcore outfit Thrown into Exile have been building a reputation in the sprawling Southern California scene since 2016, delivering punishing breakdowns and melodic urgency that pull from both hardcore and modern metal.
New Jersey's Thrown to the Hole and Eaten by Rats arrived in 2025 with a name as uncompromising as their sound, fusing the ugliness of sludge metal with the confrontational energy of hardcore into something deliberately abrasive.
Thrownaway from the small Swabian town of Ehingen blend melodic death metal with metalcore's rhythmic intensity, formed in 2025 as one of Baden-Württemberg's newest heavy acts. Their name channels the discarded and overlooked into aggressive, emotionally charged compositions.
Atlanta's Thrumm emerged in 2022 with a slow-burning stoner-doom approach, layering fuzz-heavy guitar work and meditative tempos into the kind of suffocating, low-end-saturated sound the city's underground has long nurtured.
Cincinnati heavy metal band Thruster formed in 2020 with a straightforward commitment to the classic genre fundamentals — crunching riffs, driving rhythms, and the no-frills conviction that made heavy metal a Midwest staple.
Thrym from Verneuil-sur-Seine deliver Viking metal named after the frost giant of Norse mythology who stole Thor's hammer since 2014. A decade of frost-giant-sized compositions from the Île-de-France has channeled Scandinavian sagas through a French lens.
