South Jersey's Methedrine have deep roots in the crossover thrash scene, with a Metal-Archives page that dates back decades, though the band relaunched in 2024 with fresh energy and a roster rebuilt around the same punishing intersection of hardcore and thrash that made the genre essential in the late 1980s.
