Webster, New York's F.U.B.A.R. have been channeling the reckless energy of crossover thrash since 2005, delivering the kind of bulldozing, punk-infused thrash that does exactly what the name implies.
Long Beach's F.U.B.A.R. bring the hard-living spirit of Southern California's hardcore and metal crossroads to their thrash, cranking out fast, aggressive riffs with a chaotic punk edge since 2005.
Cleveland's F.U.D. carry on the Rust Belt tradition of no-bullshit crossover thrash, formed in 2019 with a sound that punches hard and moves fast — fear, uncertainty, and doubt rendered in guitar and blastbeats.
Boston's Face First charge straight at crossover thrash from the ground up — formed in 2017, they combine the speed and riff density of thrash with hardcore's confrontational directness, staying true to the streets of Massachusetts.
Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania's Face First keeps it strictly thrash — formed in 2017, this project strips the genre down to its essentials: heavy riffs, driving rhythm, and no pretense.
Out of Mystic, Connecticut, this Face First blends thrash, groove metal, and metalcore into a hybrid sound that's been evolving since 2017, keeping a coastal New England edge to its aggression.
Neenah, Wisconsin's Face the Horde have been combining death and thrash metal since 2019, channeling Midwest grit into tight, aggressive riffing that draws from both genres without splitting the difference.
Marshfield, Missouri's Face the Wheel deal in the classic intersection of heavy and thrash metal, putting meat on the bones of a sound that's been core to American metal since 2018.
Lowell, Massachusetts's Faceless Enemy started in 2022 as brutal deathcore before pivoting toward slam and brutal death metal — an evolution toward pure extremity with no interest in accessibility.
Raleigh's Faceless Enemy bring a different energy to the name, mixing groove metal's locked-in rhythm with thrash's urgency since 2022 in the heart of North Carolina's metal scene.
Long Island's Faceless Hatred have been running a blackened thrash and crust hybrid since 2011, pulling equally from the filth of d-beat and the cold aggression of black metal.
Providence's Facial Defecation are one of the elder statesmen on this list, running death/thrash metal in the Rhode Island underground since 1992 — over three decades of uncompromising brutality.
Wilmington, North Carolina's Faith Collapsing pull from power metal's soaring melodicism, thrash's aggression, and groove metal's locked-in heaviness all at once, a combination they've been refining since getting together in 2022.
Atlanta's Faith in Chaos formed in 2013 and lives up to their name, pushing thrash metal toward genuinely experimental territory — finding the points where tightly coiled aggression can break open into something stranger and harder to categorize.
Richland's Faith or Fear has been in the thrash metal business since 2009, dealing in the genre's essential vocabulary of fast picking, barked vocals, and the kind of propulsive energy that made thrash indispensable thirty years ago.
