Chicago's Imminent Terror arrived in 2022 playing thrash metal that channels the city's storied aggression — tightly wound, riff-driven, and carrying the urgency the name implies.
Not to be confused with their Norwegian namesake, Bethpage's Immortal has been delivering speed and thrash metal on Long Island since 2002 — fast, precise, and steeped in the classic American underground.
Toledo's Immortal Soul stormed into the Ohio underground in 2024 with speed and thrash metal built for velocity — lean, direct, and carrying the urgency of a band with something to prove.
New Jersey's Immortal Souls emerged from South Plainfield in 2024 with thrash metal that pays clear dues to the genre's East Coast lineage — aggressive, precise, and ready to make up for lost time.
McHenry County, Illinois' Immortum started with thrash and death metal before pivoting toward blacker, more abrasive territory — a band still in flux, following the music wherever it gets darkest.
Rochester's Impalement channels progressive metal's technical ambition through a thrash metal lens, resulting in compositions that sprawl and mutate without ever sacrificing aggression.
Austin hardcore punk. Raging fast punk with a metallic edge.
A brand new Portland outfit formed in 2025, Imperiosus waste no time blending thrash's velocity with classic heavy metal's groove and swagger, arriving fully formed and already swinging hard.
