Tampa's Last Rite has spent over a decade honing a sound that trades off power metal's anthemic sweep against thrash's razor-wire attack, rooted in Florida's storied heavy metal tradition.
Speed metal delivered at maximum velocity with a thrash backbone, Los Angeles' Last Rites have been tearing up the West Coast scene since 2002.
Conyers, Georgia's Last Rites bring a Southern-fried intensity to straight-ahead thrash metal, active since 2002 and showing no signs of slowing the onslaught.
Cumberland, Maryland's Last Rites drag thrash metal through the gutter with hardcore's stripped-down aggression, a rough and confrontational hybrid born in 2002.
Heavy metal at its most workmanlike and mean — this Last Rites welds groove's midrange punch to thrash's forward momentum, producing a no-frills assault that gets the job done.
Prattville, Alabama's Last Transgression has been carving out death-thrash territory since 2011, channeling the American South's heat and grime into riffs that hit like a sledgehammer.
Pittsburgh's Last Will stretch thrash metal across a progressive skeleton, threading speed and technical ambition into songs that reward repeat listens as much as they reward headbanging.
Formed in Oakland, Illinois in 2019, Latem plays meat-and-potatoes thrash with the kind of unpretentious intensity that suggests they care more about the riffs than the hype.
Los Angeles speed-thrash unit Lawnmower have been dismembering everything in their path since 2010, with a name that perfectly describes what their riffs do to the listener.
