FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Metal Devastation PR Clients Vindicator and Cruel Bomb Land on Metal Trenches’ Top 20 Thrash Albums of 2025
Cleveland, OH / Wilkes-Barre, PA — Two of the most relentless forces in modern thrash metal are making waves in 2025. Vindicator (Cleveland, OH) and Cruel Bomb (Wilkes-Barre, PA) have earned spots on Metal Trenches’ Top 20 Thrash Albums of 2025 , standing alongside genre heavyweights like Testament, Warbringer, Sacrifice, Coroner, and Condition Critical.
Hailing from Cleveland, a city built on grit and steel, Vindicator has been delivering their signature brand of speed and aggression to die-hard thrash fans and the unsuspecting alike since 2005. Their unrelenting riffs and precision attacks continue to cement their status as a modern thrash powerhouse.
From Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Cruel Bomb has been feeding the thrash machine since 2018. The four-piece—Kennie Barto (bass/vocals), Brandon Gilvary (guitar/vocals), Kyle McKeown (drums), and Nick Hennebaul—have toured relentlessly and released a trio of EPs. Their latest release, Man Made , introduces five new tracks to their already diverse catalog, showcasing their growing mastery of thrash intensity.
“Being recognized alongside some of the biggest names in thrash is an incredible honor,” says Metal Devastation PR. “Both Vindicator and Cruel Bomb represent the heart and soul of modern thrash: fast, precise, and unapologetically heavy.”
