Violator is a thrash metal band from Brasília who emerged from Brazil's underground to become one of the country's most internationally active thrash acts, touring extensively across Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Their debut album "Chemical Assault" was released in 2006 on Kill Again Records, followed by "Annihilation Process" (2010) and "Scenarios of Brutality" (2013), with the band returning in 2025 with "Unholy Retribution."
Washington State's Violence Factor have been operating in death metal's most direct lane since 2021 — no genre hybrids, no atmospheric diversions, just technically grounded brutality assembled with clear purpose. The Pacific Northwest underground has quietly sustained a strong death metal culture, and Violence Factor are a current example of that tradition.
Violencity is a speed/thrash metal band from Juatuba, Minas Gerais, formed in 2018 and operating as an independent unsigned act. The band has released material including the EP "Inimigos do Fim" ("Enemies of the End"), dealing in themes of anti-religion and the grinding monotony of daily life rendered through aggressive thrash attack.

Violent Creatures is a thrash metal band from Zürich, Switzerland, formed in 2018. Their 2018 demo features four tracks of driving thrash and heavy metal, including cuts like "Blood is Spilling" and "Fear of Death," establishing their foundation in hard-hitting, beer-fueled thrash.
Violent Curse was a thrash metal power trio from São Bento do Sul, Santa Catarina, Brazil, consisting of Peter Fragoso on vocals and guitar, Neto Rothbarth on bass, and Lucas Cruz on drums. The band released a demo in 2014 and followed it with the EP "Total Extermínio" in 2016, delivering aggressive thrash with lyrics sung in Portuguese before eventually disbanding.
Lincoln, Nebraska's Violent Death Equipment have been delivering unadorned death metal since 2018 — a Midwestern act with no interest in softening the genre's edges. The name signals their intent plainly, and the music follows through: blunt, efficient, and committed to the craft of making something genuinely heavy.
Romanian act Violent Goat Rot delivers a merciless combination of death metal and deathcore, piling on guttural vocals and crushing breakdowns with gleeful abandon. Their unsubtle approach to extremity channels the most punishing end of the genre spectrum.
