San Diego thrash metal project with ten releases since 2020 — including one oddly dated 2037. Their prolific, chaotic output and titles like Freakee Friday suggest a band that doesn't take genre conventions too seriously while still delivering ferocious thrash.
Albuquerque, New Mexico melodic death metal project whose 2016 self-titled EP brings Scandinavian melodeath influence to the high desert. A unique cultural intersection from the Land of Enchantment.
Thunderous Groove Metal from Dallas.
Taylor, Michigan death metal project whose 2016 self-titled debut channels Downriver Detroit's blue-collar intensity into punishing extremity. The name — suggesting imitation of first principles — adds philosophical depth.
Norfolk, Nebraska deathcore act bringing crushing breakdowns to the Great Plains, proving that extreme metal thrives even in America's most rural corners.
Dayton crossover crew fusing hardcore punk urgency with thrash metal velocity, carrying on Ohio's proud tradition of no-frills aggressive music.
Chicago thrash band whose ripping speed and tight arrangements reflect the Windy City's deep lineage of extreme metal, attacking with precision and fury.
Milwaukee thrash metal act whose 2017 EP Keep Them Dead delivers blunt, uncompromising thrash from Beer City. The name promises post-apocalyptic reconstruction; the music delivers pre-apocalyptic destruction.
Houston death metal project whose 2020 EP Cordyceptic Anthropomorph merges parasitic fungal horror with death metal brutality. The name implies systematic destruction on a grand scale — fitting for music this demolishing.
