Howell, New Jersey thrash metal outfit with two albums since 2015. Their self-titled debut and The Call of the Void trace an evolution from straightforward thrash into more existential territory, the latter title nodding to the French concept of l'appel du vide.
Haddam thrash metal project from the Connecticut underground.
Spokane deathcore project from the Washington underground.
Thrash Metal project from the American underground.
Seattle melodic death metal and thrash outfit whose 2023 debut The Faults of Our Kind delivers technically accomplished extremity. The name — meaning 'against god' — channels anti-theistic fury through the precision of Scandinavian-influenced melodeath.
Las Vegas thrash metal act with an international flavor, incorporating Indonesian-language titles since 2021. Their EP Dari Kami Yang Kalian Sia-Siakan and subsequent releases bridge Southeast Asian and American thrash traditions from the Nevada desert.
Minneapolis thrash metal project from the Minnesota underground.
Hayward, California thrash metal project active since 2023. Their catalog — including the cryptically titled B'AK K'AT,LOG referencing the Mayan calendar — blends Bay Area thrash traditions with unexpected cultural references.
Wichita, Kansas thrash metal act refining their sound since 2020. A remastered self-titled album and the later Shatter the Screen EP demonstrate a band committed to perfecting their craft from the middle of the Great Plains.
