Destruccion Mutua Asegurada — D.M.A. — brings a bilingual fury to Medina, Ohio's scene, fusing crossover thrash's breakneck hardcore energy with proper thrash metal riffing. Active since 2021, they hit like a freight train and don't look back.

Front Royal, VA · 2019–present · active
Out of Front Royal, Virginia, Dark Sorcerer blends black metal's malice with crossover thrash's d-beat stomp and hardcore edge — a chaotic three-way collision that has been building since 2019.
Pittsburgh, PA · 2024–present · active
Pittsburgh's Dark Wolf throws black metal, thrash, crossover, and hardcore into a single pit and sees what crawls out — a ferocious hybrid formed in 2024 that captures the working-class aggression of one of America's most metal-ready cities.
Southern California · 2017–present · active
Southern California's Dead Cross are a supergroup project that tears through crossover thrash and hardcore punk with an experimental bent — unpredictable, intense, and built from some of the genre's most experienced musicians. Their music moves fast and thinks faster.
Oxnard, CA · 2016–present · active
Oxnard, California's Dead Heat are a crossover act in the true sense — born from hardcore's aggression and thrash's technical ferocity, they've been carving out their niche in the Ventura County underground since 2016. Fast, loud, and uncompromising.
Houston, TX · 1985–present · inactive
Houston thrash with a sludgy, punky edge. Cult classics of the late-80s Texas scene.
Kenosha, WI · 2020–present · active
Kenosha, Wisconsin's Dead Meat play crossover thrash with the blue-collar conviction of a rust belt act that learned its trade in cramped bars and parking lot shows since 2020. Fast, mean, and built on the bones of classic hardcore and thrash.
Atlanta, GA · 2016–present · active
Atlanta's Deadlift throw their weight into the crossover thrash pit, merging hardcore's urgency with thrash's shred and the city's reputation for ferocious live shows since 2016. Every song feels like it was written to be shouted back by a sweat-soaked crowd.
