thrash Course

Thrash Course is a five-piece metal band founded in Portland, Oregon. Broadly a crossover-thrash band, Thrash Course combines genre elements of prog, thrash, hardcore, groove, and alternative metal that make the sonic experience tough to fit cleanly into a pre-existing mold. Complex percussive rhythms, atypical song structures, progressive guitar riffs, and aggressive vocals converge to form something that is far from expected, but still accessible to the newly initiated. 

The mission of Thrash Course is to show the world that metal can, and should, be for everyone. There is no barrier to entry. No uniform to dawn. No persona, belief, or human category that exempts one from being able to experience the excellence of metal. The only requirement is that you enjoy the music. And if you do, welcome to the fold.
