Levittown, Long Island thrash metal project with four releases since 2016. Albums like Mouse and Mr Angel bring an oddball sensibility to the genre, their suburban Long Island origins fueling a distinctly off-kilter approach to thrash.
Dublin, California thrash metal act whose French-titled albums — Pour semer la confusion ('to sow confusion') — bring Continental flair to Bay Area thrash since 2017. The Three Musketeers reference adds literary dimension to their aggressive sound.
Tampa thrash metal project from the Florida underground.
Los Angeles thrash metal project. The name's philosophical implications — of randomness and subjectivity — add an unexpectedly cerebral dimension to their contribution to LA's thrash lineage.
Joshua Tree death metal project from the California underground.
Arlington, Texas thrash metal act with four releases since 2020. From the Above and Beyond EP to singles blending thrash with urban energy, they represent the DFW Metroplex's ongoing contribution to American thrash.
Romeoville, Illinois thrash metal outfit active since 2010. Their full-length Under a Foreign Star and debut EP Gather The Remains deliver focused, riff-driven thrash from the Chicago suburbs.
Irondale doom metal project from the Ohio underground.
Kalamazoo doom metal project from the Michigan underground.
