Ripping speed metal out of Houston. Dangerously catchy riffs with a raw, evil edge.
Furious Hardcore (early); Thrash Metal / Metalcore (later) from Laredo.
Arlington thrash metal. Ferocious late-80s Texas thrash with technical chops.
Houston's Grave Robbers have spent over a decade looting the crossover thrash and hardcore underground with gleeful ferocity, blending pit-ready mosh breaks with snarling thrash chops. Since 2011 they've been one of Texas's most reliable live weapons.
Intense Groove Metal / Metalcore from Midland.
Thunderous Groove Metal from Houston.
Mean Heavy / Power / Groove Metal out of Texas.
Fort Worth's Grimoire have been running crossover thrash and classic thrash through a Texas-sized filter since 2011, combining hardcore's directness with metal's riff obsession for a sound that's both technically sharp and relentlessly aggressive.
Technical Progressive / Groove Metal from Lewisville.
Fort Worth's Halopent have been running death and thrash together since 2018, sharpening the collision into something lean and punishing. Texas grit runs through every riff.
80s power/thrash act originally from New Orleans, relocated to Dallas. Their rare 1987 Return to Salem EP is a collector's item.
Blistering Speed / Thrash Metal from Dallas.
Hailing from Alice, deep in South Texas, Hammerwhore have been tearing up the crossover thrash and punk-metal underground since 2013 — raw, aggressive, and completely indifferent to outside approval.
Austin's Hatchetwork have been swinging thrash metal axes since 2019, their sound steeped in the Bay Area and Texas traditions the city has quietly harbored for decades. Fast, riff-driven, and built for the pit.
San Antonio's Hate Collider have been smashing death and thrash metal together since 2014, generating the kind of impact the name suggests. South Texas aggression runs through their approach, drawing from a city with a long history of extreme music.
