East Los Angeles, CA · 1979–present · active
East Los Angeles crossover thrash project from the California underground.
Pensacola, FL · 2018–present · active
Pensacola, Florida crossover thrash outfit with four releases since 2018. Their catalog — from the philosophically titled A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon to the transitional Liminal — pairs Kantian concepts with aggressive punk-metal from the Gulf Coast.
Chicago, IL · 1994–present · active
Chicago crossover thrash project. Another entry in the city's seemingly bottomless well of punk-metal hybrid acts.
New Orleans, LA · 2008–present · active
New Orleans hardcore punk and thrash supergroup formed in 2008, featuring members of Eyehategod, Superjoint Ritual, and other NOLA heavy hitters. Their self-titled debut distills the Crescent City's legendary underground into short, violent blasts of crossover fury.
Cleveland, OH · 2025–present · active
Cleveland crossover thrash and sludge outfit arriving in 2025 with three releases including the wildly titled Balkan Night Fever. The incorporation of Romica Puceanu — a legendary Romanian singer — into their sound suggests a genuinely original fusion of Eastern European music and American sludge.

Ass

College Station, TX · 2010–present · active
College Station, Texas crossover thrash act with two releases since 2010. Operating from Texas A&M's college town with a name that refuses to be taken seriously, they channel DIY punk energy through heavy, unpretentious crossover.
NY · 2006–present · active
New York City crossover thrash band bringing Bay Area-meets-East Coast aggression to the five boroughs, delivering pit-ready fury with hardcore punk attitude.
Pasadena, TX · 2011–present · active
Pasadena/La Porte, Texas crossover thrash act whose 2011 EP Blood, Sweat, and Beers captures the DIY spirit of Houston-area punk-metal. The title tells you everything about their priorities.
Orlando, FL · 2023–present · active
Orlando, Florida crossover thrash act with seven releases since 2023. The name is a statement of maximum excess, and their prolific output — including a self-titled debut and the surf-rock-referencing Beyond the Sea — delivers exactly the over-the-top chaos it promises.
