Steep

Proof positive that Finland continues to churn out quality bands representing virtually every metal subgenre is Steep, a thrash band who released their debut full-length album, Silence Is Not Golden, in 2006 following an EP two years earlier. This is modern, dense, aggressive thrash with hardcore vocals (similar to, but not quite, metalcore), along the lines of Hatesphere, or perhaps The Haunted. There are clear influences to thrash's past heritage, but this is definitely not the retro thrash style that has suddenly blossomed in popularity. It's pretty vicious and bludgeoning, and though the band could stand to branch out a bit (the individual songs are too similar to each other, and the vocals are pretty one-dimensional as well), Silence is a fine example of modern Scandinavian thrash. Unfortunately the band broke up in 2008.
