New York's Diabolus arrived in 2022 with a thrash metal agenda that leaves no room for half-measures — riffs first, second, and last, built in the aggressive tradition that the state's metal scene has long sustained. Despite being a newer outfit, their approach carries the conviction of bands with far more years behind them.

Relentless Progressive Power / Thrash Metal from El Paso.

Allston, Massachusetts' Dioxin have been tearing through the Boston area with relentless thrash metal since 2011, operating out of one of the city's most historically fertile neighborhoods for DIY music. Their sound is toxic and deliberate — fast, tight, and carrying the chip-on-the-shoulder energy that Boston thrash has always worn proudly.

Vicious Thrash Metal out of Texas.

please update this band

Dark, grim black/thrash from Houston with crustpunk and doom influences. Released Under Grim Skies in 2022.

Vicious Death / Thrash Metal from Dallas.

Dallas's Discern arrived in 2023 with a death/thrash attack that slots naturally into the Texas tradition of technically sharp, aggressive metal. Young but purposeful, they represent a new generation picking up the thread of a scene that has always rewarded heaviness and precision.

Columbus, Ohio's Discretionary Kayoss have been tearing through the crossover thrash playbook since 2020, combining punk's stripped-down aggression with metal's firepower in the tradition the genre was built on. They bring a chaotic energy to the Columbus underground that the city's thriving DIY scene has always made room for.
