Thunderous Groove Metal from Houston.
Mean Heavy / Power / Groove Metal out of Texas.
Fort Worth's Grimoire have been running crossover thrash and classic thrash through a Texas-sized filter since 2011, combining hardcore's directness with metal's riff obsession for a sound that's both technically sharp and relentlessly aggressive.
Perrysburg, Ohio's Ground Zero represent a new generation of American thrash — formed in 2022, they bring a youthful intensity to the classic formula, with tight riffing and an urgency that suggests they have something to prove. The Midwest has produced another reliable entry in the thrash revival.
