Trencheard represent Liepāja's nascent extreme metal scene, unleashing blackened death metal since 2024 from Latvia's western coast. As one of the newest entries in the Baltic death metal landscape, they bring an unpolished ferocity to a region where metal is still finding its footing.
Oakland speed metal act Trencher have been forging their craft since 2004, drawing from the Bay Area's long tradition of fast, riff-forward metal with a lean and no-frills delivery. Their longevity in an unforgiving scene speaks to a dedication to the pure mechanics of the style.
Indianapolis quartet Trenches emerged in 2021 fusing the punishing low-end of sludge metal with the structured aggression of metalcore, a combination that feels at home in the Midwest underground. Their Bandcamp handle "digtrenches" signals an ethos of burrowing deep into the heavy.
Detroit's Trenchfoot have been working the fault line between groove metal and metalcore since 2011, channeling the city's blue-collar intensity into churning riffs and serrated rhythms. The name alone evokes the grinding discomfort their sound aims to deliver.
Formed in 2022 out of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, Trenchgoat bring a hard rock backbone to their blend of heavy and thrash metal, landing somewhere between throwback aggression and arena-adjacent hooks. They're a young band with a sound that leans on the visceral pleasure of the riff.
Brooklyn's Trenchgrinder have been a fixture in the New York underground since 2011, channeling death metal brutality, thrash velocity, and crust punk filth into a sound built for the pit. Their approach is confrontational and unpolished in the best tradition of the borough's extreme metal lineage.
TrenchHead is a brutal deathcore band from London, active since 2013. Their music delivers the most punishing combination of brutal death metal and hardcore breakdowns from the UK capital's extreme music underground.
TrenchKnife is a death metal band from Limerick, Ireland, formed in 2014. They deliver punishing death metal with a raw, aggressive edge from Ireland's midwest.
Power metal band from Guarulhos, São Paulo, formed in early 2018 by vocalist Diogo Nunes and guitarist Rogério Oliveira. Their debut album Kill Your Ghosts (July 2019) featured guest vocals from Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear), and their second album Until the Sun Rise Again (November 2021) included guest appearances from Marina La Torraca (Phantom Elite) and Elisa C. Martin (Hamka). The band has toured across six countries and shared stages with Blind Guardian, Symphony X, and Hammerfall, releasing the conceptual EP Facing My Ghosts in February 2025.
