Hatchet is an American thrash metal band hailing from the Bay Area, a region famous for giving rise to some of the most influential acts in the thrash scene. The band was formed in 2006, initially conceived as carrying the torch of classic 80s thrash into the new millennium. Known for their ferocious and unrelenting style, Hatchet has established a reputation for their aggressive riffs, fast-paced drumming, and commanding vocals.

Since their inception, Hatchet has actively contributed to the resurgence of thrash metal, often paying homage to the genre's roots while weaving their unique blend of intensity and technical skill. They burst onto the scene with their debut album "Awaiting Evil" in 2008, which was lauded for reviving the classic thrash sound with a modern edge. The momentum continued with the release of "Dawn of the End" in 2013 and "Dying to Exist" in 2018, each record showcasing the band's growth and commitment to their craft. Their most recent release, the EP "Leave No Soul," further cements Hatchet’s standing as a mainstay in the contemporary metal community, offering both fans and newcomers a punishing sonic experience that is true to thrash metal's relentless nature.
