Los Angeles's Genocidal Pact play old-school-minded thrash with a ferocity that recalls the genre's early days rather than its more polished modern incarnations, active since 2012. Southern California aggression channeled through riffs that owe as much to punk as to metal.

Albuquerque's Genocide channels the hostile energy of thrash metal into tight, aggressive riffing shaped by the harsh landscape of the American Southwest. They've been grinding since 2013 with no signs of slowing.

Flint, Michigan — a city with no shortage of hard edges — gave rise to this Genocide, a band that fuses thrash velocity with death metal's pulverizing low end. The combination is as unforgiving as you'd expect from the city's industrial decay.

Pennsylvania's Germ U.S.A. plays crossover thrash with the manic energy of hardcore punks who discovered Slayer and never looked back. Active since 2022, their sound is fast, grimy, and entirely indifferent to polish.

Jacksonville, Florida's Gerovit takes its name from a Slavic war deity and delivers a thrash-forward black metal attack to match — fast, aggressive, and steeped in ancient menace. Formed in 2023, they're already hitting with conviction.

Oklahoma City's Gestalt is a genre-agnostic wrecking ball, routing thrash, death metal, grindcore, and crossover through the same reckless engine since 2018. The parts shouldn't add up to a coherent whole — somehow they do.

From Richland, Washington, Gevurah weaves symphonic grandeur into black metal's ferocity, producing music that feels simultaneously vast and vicious. Since 2011, they've drawn on Kabbalistic imagery for a sound that aspires to something genuinely cosmic.

Named for the three-headed kaiju and hailing from Hannahville, Michigan, Ghidora plays thrash metal that shares its namesake's chaotic energy — riffs that spiral in multiple directions before converging into something devastating. Formed in 2017.

Out of Gainesville, Florida — a city with deep metal roots — Ghore has been delivering vicious thrash/death metal hybrids since 2016, channeling the ferocity of both genres into tightly wound, relentless songs.
