Fort Worth's Mortuary, formed in 2021, combine death and thrash metal in the Texas tradition of unsparing heaviness, blending the Metroplex's deep-rooted metal scene with a crossover attack that hits hard from both angles.
Plaistow, New Hampshire's Mortuary have delivered straight thrash metal from the New England underground since 2021, carrying on the region's tradition of stripped-down, hard-hitting speed with a classic-minded, riff-first approach.
Portage, Indiana's Mortuus have been at the brutal death/deathcore crossroads since 2005, building a reputation for monstrous low-tuned riffs and guttural excess in a scene more typically associated with Midwestern hardcore.
Worcester, Massachusetts crossover thrash act Moss Folk have been shredding the line between hardcore punk and thrash metal since 2008, delivering fast, no-frills attacks with the street-level energy of the New England underground.
Seattle's Mother Crone run a volatile mix of stoner grooves, doom weight, and thrash velocity, formed in 2015 in a city with deep underground metal roots — a band that treats heavy music as something that must also move fast.
Santa Clara, California's Mother Earth have been delivering no-frills heavy/thrash metal since 2016, maintaining a traditional approach to riff construction and song structure in the Bay Area, a region with a long and storied thrash lineage.
Bricktown, New Jersey's Mother Leeds take their name from the Jersey Devil legend and channel that regional mythology into heavy/thrash metal — active since 2016 in a state with a long tradition of no-nonsense metalheads.
Doylestown, Pennsylvania's Mother of Mercy have been fusing thrash metal aggression with metalcore structure since 2008 — a band that built its name on relentless live shows and a blunt, no-frills approach to extreme music.
Erie, Pennsylvania crossover thrash act Mother Ship have been riding the circle pit circuit since 2012, delivering fast, aggressively fun music that owes equal debts to early Suicidal Tendencies and the East Coast hardcore scene.
