Thrash/death metal band from Thessaloniki, Greece active since 2014. Warthorn merges thrash's speed with death metal's brutality from Greece's northern metropolis.
Technical thrash metal band from Sofia, Bulgaria active since 2009. Wartime brings intricate riffing and complex arrangements to the Bulgarian thrash scene, pushing the genre's boundaries with technical precision.
WarTorn came up in Salisbury, Maryland in 2014, bringing a classic thrash metal sensibility to the Eastern Shore with genuine aggression and technical purpose. Salisbury sits outside the Baltimore-DC heavy metal axis, and the band carries the chip-on-the-shoulder energy of a scene that has to work harder for recognition. Their thrash is tight, mean, and built to last.
Black/thrash metal band from Ankara, Turkey active since 2014. Warvoid merges the raw ferocity of black metal with thrash's velocity from the Turkish capital.
