Waynesboro, Pennsylvania's Death Rising blend groove metal's heaviness with stoner metal's hazy, slow-burning swagger — a combination that hits like a tire iron wrapped in smoke. Rolling slow and heavy through the Pennsylvania hills since 2021.
Los Angeles' Death Rites launched in 2024 with crossover thrash that draws from both hardcore energy and old-school metal aggression, distilling the classic Southern California pit mentality into something tight and ferocious. Circle pit mandatory.
Austin's Death Ritual have been conducting thrash metal ceremonies in the Texas underground since 2016, favoring blunt-force riffing and a no-nonsense approach that honors the genre's blue-collar roots. Loud, fast, and Texas-proud.
Pittsburgh's Death Sentence have been issuing thrash metal verdicts since 2013, drawing from the city's hardscrabble ethos to fuel aggressive, straightforward riff attacks. No appeals, no reprieves — just pure thrash delivered with Pittsburgh conviction.
Boston's Death Strider hit like a cargo train loaded with 1986-era riffs — crossover thrash with genuine menace and a hardcore backbone that keeps it moving fast. Formed in 2022, they arrived fully formed.
San Antonio's Death Tripper deal in pure high-octane speed and thrash metal — the kind that sounds like it was written on a stretch of empty Texas highway at 3 a.m. with no destination in mind. They've been burning rubber since 2011.
New York's Deathalizer play thrash metal with the blunt efficiency of a scene that's always had something to prove — riff-forward, aggressive, and uninterested in compromise since 2020.
Boston's Deathamphetamine have been splicing death and thrash metal into a single hyperactive organism since 2004, their two-decade tenure making them one of the longer-running acts in the city's underground. The name tells you everything about the tempo.
Salt Lake City's Deathblow bring a high-altitude edge to thrash metal — hard-hitting, direct, and shaped by Utah's fiercely independent underground scene since 2014.
