Yonkers, New York death/thrash outfit Trez Muertoz formed in 2025, bringing a fresh entry to the brutal overlap between the two styles with a name that wears its grimy aesthetics on its sleeve.

· 2012–present · active
New York's Vise Massacre has been hammering out hardcore-thrash crossover since 2012, embodying the no-nonsense collision of punk attitude and metal precision that the genre has always promised. Their sound is built for small rooms and large amounts of sweat — stripped down, fast, and combative in the best tradition of the New York underground.
Guilderland · 2020–present · active
Formed in 2020 in Guilderland, New York, Vortex play heavy metal grounded in the hard-driving traditions of thrash with a no-frills, riff-first approach. The band leans into the kinetic energy of classic thrash while keeping the songwriting anchored in heavy metal's melodic instincts. Short on pretension and long on velocity, they represent the continuing vitality of the upstate New York metal underground.
Queens, New York City · 2011–present · active
Queens thrash outfit Wench have been in operation since 2011, dragging the Old Bay Area aggression into New York City's outer boroughs with a chip on their shoulder that is entirely appropriate given where they come from. Queens has never been celebrated the way Manhattan or Brooklyn have, and Wench plays thrash that sounds like it knows that — raw, fast, and combative. Everything good about the genre, delivered without ceremony.
