Long Island's Detriment have been thrashing since 2012, drawing on the suburban aggression and East Coast swagger that has driven New York-area metal for decades.

New York's Diabolus arrived in 2022 with a thrash metal agenda that leaves no room for half-measures — riffs first, second, and last, built in the aggressive tradition that the state's metal scene has long sustained.
