Space Eater

Prime Bay Area thrash from a band who hails thousands of miles from the Bay Area -- that's Serbia's Space Eater in a nutshell. Formed in 2004 and taking their name from a Gamma Ray song, Space Eater went the usual route of demos and lineup shifts, finally debuting on the I Hate label in 2007 and following up three years later on the new StormSpell label in 2010 with Aftershock. Along the way they sadly lost their vocalist and founding member, Bosko Radisic (his vocals remain on the album in tribute), but they're perservering nonetheless. Style-wise, think classic SF bands like Forbidden, Defiance, or Heathen, and while this isn't a strict retro take, it's clearly more a homage to prime thrash rather than the more modern version. The band recorded a followup in 2014 but seem to have since disbanded, with several guys seen in a newer band called Quasarborn.
