Pyracanda

Pyracanda was a typically energetic German thrash band of the early nineties, releasing two decent albums during the heyday of thrash, well-executed if a bit generic for the time. They broke up soon after 1992's Thorns album, survived for a few years afterward renamed as Ilex, and after being dormant for more than 20 years, reformed in 2019.

Recent album: Losing Faith, released on October 10, 2024.
