Artist: Arch Enemy

Genre: Hard Rock/Metal
Formed by ex-Carnage, Carcass, and Candlemass guitarist Michael Amott (concurrently of Spiritual Beggars) with his brother Christopher (Armageddon), Arch Enemy took a straight-ahead approach to death metal reminiscent of Entombed or late-period Carcass, blending catchy, classic-style metal riffs with crushing grooves for an intense yet...

Denmark's Artillery were one of the many quality European thrash metal bands which never seemed to catch a break.

Blood Tsunami formed in 2004 with Pete on guitar and vocals and Jay on drums.

Artist: Carnal Forge

Genre: Hard Rock/Metal
Carnal Forge, while aligned with Sweden's fertile death metal scene, actually harks back more to classic thrash and speed metal, particularly Slayer (as well as the melodic sensibilities of countrymen At the Gates). Formed in September 1997, the band featured vocalist Jonas Kjellgren (ex-Dellamorte and Centinex), guitarists Jari Kuusisto and... [+] Read More

Artist: Celtic Frost

Genre: Hard Rock/Metal
Celtic Frost's impact on the evolution of European heavy metal cannot be overstated. Along with power metal kings Helloween (and to a lesser degree, the sometimes cartoonish Mercyful Fate), Frost's enduring influence on Europe's heavy metal landscape is arguably comparable to Metallica's standing in America. Labeled by critics as "avant-garde"... [+] Read More

From their modest beginnings as roadies for avant-garde Swiss metal legends Celtic Frost, the members of Coroner carved out one of the most unique careers in the European thrash metal scene.

Artist: Dekapitator

Genre: Hard Rock/Metal
Dekapitator began as a concept between Andy Maniac and Matt Hellfiend, two confirmed Thrashaholics, in late 1996. Their tastes seemed to run continually contrary to the direction of the band they played in together, Gore/Death Metal act Exhumed. The two became re-obsessed with the mid-1980's thrash movements in Germany, Canada, and of course... [+] Read More

Artist: Destruction

Genre: Hard Rock/Metal
Together with their countrymen Kreator and Sodom, Germany's Destruction constituted the dominating triumvirate of Teutonic thrash metal during the 1980's.

Artist: Exodus

Genre: Hard Rock/Metal
Once the kings of the Bay Area metal scene (widely accepted as the birthplace of thrash), Exodus were unceremoniously demoted from their post with the arrival of Los Angeles' Metallica in 1982. Sadly, with a little more luck, the group may have occupied the role of, say, Slayer as the purest purveyors of ultra-thrash, but while they continued to... [+] Read More

GWAR (an acronym for God What an Awful Racket) is thrash metal's answer to the more mainstream satire of Spinal Tap.
