ZARRAZA is an extreme thrash metal band from Almaty, Kazakhstan, combining thrash aggression with groove and progressive elements.
Since their 2018 debut "Necroshiva", the band has attracted international attention from Metal Hammer and MetalSucks. Their 2022 EP "Kreated In Blood", featuring reworked classics by Kreator, Gojira and Slayer, was praised by Metal Hammer, while their version of "Raining Blood" made the magazine's Ten Best Songs of the Week alongside Ozzy Osbourne and Megadeth.
