11 Lääz Rockit Lääz Rockit is a thrash metal band formed in San Francisco, California in 1982. Although one of the lesser-known groups of the Bay Area thrash metal scene, each album in their career has received high critical marks. One of their signature elements were Ibanez guitars adorned with elaborate airbrushed scenes of warfare.

Again, go and see my list "Top 10 Lääz Rockit Songs".
Sorry for citing my lists - it may sound annoying but it's easier to write the list title than to list songs and describe the band. Moreover, I made lists for less known bands I thought deserved a list.

12 Donjon
13 Lost Society Lost Society is a thrash metal band from Finland, formed in 2010. Lost Society released their debut album in 2013 when band members were teens aged 17, 18, 19, and 19.

Again, you can find more about them on my list "Top 10 Lost Society Songs"

14 Jesus Manson
15 Hard Maple
16 Skull Fist

Canadian speed metal band formed in 2006. Guitar work is awesome.
Songs - Get Fisted, Hour to Live, Head of the Pack, Ride the Beast.
I also made a list "Top 10 Skull Fist Songs".

17 Into Eternity Into Eternity is a Canadian progressive metal band from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. It was formed in 1997 by Tim Roth, Scott Krall and Jim Austin.

I obviously have a soft spot for less known bands because I love making lists about them, so now it's "Top 10 Into Eternity Songs (Stu Block Era) ".

18 Den Saakaldte
19 Infernal War Infernal War is a Polish black metal band formed in Częstochowa in 1997. The band is known for their extreme anti-christian and WWII lyrics, leading them to be mislabeled as a NSBM band. Critics describe the band as "brutal black metal."

One of the heaviest bands I have ever heard (brutal black metal from Poland).
Try the song " Spill The Dirty Blood Of Jesus".
