Angry Nation are a melodic thrash/death metal band from Wiener Neustadt built around guitarist Walter Oberhofer, with contributions from members of Darkside and Wolfheart. Their albums The Fail Decade and Embracing the Collapse channel the socio-political anxiety of the 2010s into tightly constructed riffing that bridges late-80s Bay Area thrash with melodic Scandinavian death metal.
Anihilated delivers thrash metal from the Suffolk town of Ipswich since 2020, their intentionally misspelled name promising total destruction. Their East Anglian origins feed a sound as relentless as their annihilating name implies.
Animal Farm delivers technical thrash metal with crossover elements from Naples since 2013, their Orwellian name adding political subtext to their precise, high-speed approach. From southern Italy's chaotic metropolis, they bring sardonic social commentary through thrash.
Animamortua plays heavy and thrash metal from Malta since 2017, their Latin name meaning 'dead soul' adding classical gravity to their Mediterranean island metal. From the smallest EU member state, they punch above their weight in heavy metal power.
Animator has thrashed out of Waterford — Ireland's oldest city — since 2010, bringing speed and aggression from the sunny southeast coast. Their high-energy approach to thrash metal has earned them a devoted following within Ireland's touring circuit.
Animosity Kills thrashes from Askøy, an island municipality near Bergen, since 2017. Their violent-hostility name drives compositions of relentless speed and aggression from the archipelago off Norway's western coast.
Ankhar delivers relentless thrash metal from the small Basque town of Zestoa, channeling the region's fierce cultural identity into rapid-fire riffing since 2016. Their sound draws from the deep well of Basque extreme music while maintaining a distinctly thrash-oriented attack.
Anmasker thrashes from Zaporizhia since 2018. Their unmasking name drives compositions that strip away pretense through the directness of thrash metal from this Dnieper city.
Annexation is a thrash metal band from Berlin, Germany, founded in 2015 by Lizard Gonzales, delivering fast, classic thrash metal inspired by Slayer, Exodus, Demolition Hammer, and Power Trip. Their catalog includes the 2017 EP Reptile World Order, the 2019 release Jackhammer Treatment, and the eleven-track 2020 debut album Inherent Brutality, all recorded and mixed by Marc Wustenhagen in Berlin.
