THRASH METAL

[Ambi]

I always thought of Running Wild as power metal. I like them.

I don't like this song, though. It sounds more thrash metal.

I guess I like more complex melodies and atmospheric sounds, I don't know. I'd also rather the raw sound of black metal than commercialized thrash metal.

 

[Andrew LeGreve]

My vote is definitely for the Big 4, specifically Megadeth and Anthrax. Also try Evile, Gama Bomb, Lazarus A.D., and Testament.

 

[brumley53]

Мастер because obscure russian thrash metal is always fun.
Also Gama Bomb and Evile are good, unlike metallica who've kind of lost all their drive for making metal.

 

[Mandalore_15]

Black metal is in your future boy, all roads lead there...

 

[Ulvai]

Slayer is awful, shame on all who support Slayer.

I am gonna rip your heart out and piss in it, then put it back in!

These are pretty good.

Also, gotta love this cover:

*Embed Fail*
Oh well its Fog of War by a band with the same name, and Overkill's cover of Deuce by KISS

I fixed the links for you. ;D

OT: I can't really distinguish between metals, but I'd say some of Bullet For My Valentine counts as thrash, right?

This song is the Definition of Thrash Metal. This band is very underrated though.

Embed hasn't worked D:
Name of song/band?

 

[RanD00M]

Spoiler: Skeletor up in this *****!

The Exploited were okay when they did thrash, but they were Punk for the most part.

 

[Nerfherder17]

C'mon. Just c'mon. For me, you can't beat this. No way, no how.

It is hard to beat this I'll agree.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

The Haunted was a decent modern thrash metal band. On a side note, Slayer is awesome and so is black metal (especially black folk metal).

 

[Steambroom]

How bout the german Big 4?

Kreator
Sodom
Tankard
Destruction

Normally mistaking Bullet for thrash would be an unforgivable crime, but since you have acknowledged that you may be wrong, I will spare your wretched life. However, as a way of an apology, I ask that you remove your hand and send it to me as a trophy. This sacrifice is the only way to repay your crimes against metal.

PLUG TIME!!!! [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Escapist-Head-Bangers]
Not really much of a Thrash guy (I like my metal more on the melodic/power/symphonic persuasion), but join the group if you can. It got me introduced to bands I would never have known otherwise.

 

[razing32]

Well , what about Death Angel or Children of Bodom - haven't seen them here.
Although CoB is disputed as a genre by fans - I think it's trash with a blend of symphonic death metal , but hey I still think they're good.

I need my hands for playing bass, sorry. Can I send you some other part of my anatomy, instead? Maybe an ear, or one of my feet?

 

[TobiasFunke]

Sepultura ,Exodus, Gojira, Vader ,Evile ,Meshuggah ,Testament ,Overkill, Nevermore ,Annihilator and of course the big 4 which I will be seeing in July :-D

 

[DYin01]

Angelus Apatrida
Annihilator
Artillery
Destruction
Evile
Grief of War
Heathen
Legen Beltza
Municipal Waste
Onslaught
Stormtroopers of Death
Suicidal Angels
Tankard
Warbringer

My attempt at a suggestion list, mixing old and new bands

I'm not a big thrash fan, but I completely second Evile. Absolutely love them.

Also, black and thrash metal are distant cousins. You can hear thrash in black metal bands.

 

[staika]

gotta go with Sylosis, they are the best thrash metal band I know of.

 

[DirtyMagic]

If I just keep my voting limited to the traditional big 4, it will definitely go like this:

Megadeth > Anthrax > Metallica > Slayer

And this absolutely doesn't mean that I dislike Slayer. It's just not my style of thrash metal.

 

[rockoffanddie]

Outside of the big 4 thrash isnt really my biggest strong suit when it comes to knowledge, and therefore recommendation.

But of the big 4 i can say that, for me, the order is Megadeth, Anthrax, Metallica, Slayer, if that helps i'm glad.
