THRASH METAL

[Nerfherder17]

Started listening to a lot of thrash bands lately. Anyone have suggestions for any bands? 80s and modern ones.

Also feel free to discuss your hatred for black metal.

 

[DJDarque]

So I am not allowed to like both thrash and black metal? I am disappoint.

Spoiler: Oh well. Slayer is the best thrash metal band of all time.

 

[Voxgizer]

Testament, Pantera...that's about all I've got, I'm not big on thrash, more into power metal myself.

Edit: How the hell'd I forget the Big 4? I'll blame it on the fact it's morning.

The only "metal" I hate is that "hardcore" shit where every band plays the same 3/4 break down, and grunts and growls through the whole song like they think they've got talent. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind bands who do the growling thing. Amon Amarth, Amorphis, bands like that are fine, but only because they aren't this new wave of shitty "music."

Edit 2: Found this handy topic Metal Thread [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.285181-Metal-Thread?page=1]. It might be of use to you.

My suggestions:
Accusser
Assassin
Die Hard
Exciter
Exodus (well duh)
Exumer
Hellish Crossfire
Hobbs Angel of Death
Kat
Lunatics Without Skateboards
Minotaur
Nocturnal
Overkill (well duh²)
Sodom (Well duh³)
Toxik
Vio-Lence
Warrant (Germany)
Whiplash

And like stated previously I don't hate black metal, there's some great bands to be found there too (Gospel of the Horns, Nifelheim, Nocturnal Breed are some great BM bands with a lot of Thrash influences)

Spoiler: annihilator

I mean, that's thrash at its finest, IMO...
[sub]except Jump in the Fire, of course...[/sub]

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

Outside of the big 4, how about Sepultura would recommend you check out Beneath the Remains and Arise.

 

[steeple]

Big 4? Enough said.

Of course Megadeth are my favorite of them.

You mean the world's second best metal band?

That joke never gets old.

[sup]Don't hurt me.[/sup]

well, its obvious who's numero uno in metal, isnt it?

Spoiler: I mean, common...

who else but beiber?!

 

[Mr.Incognitus]

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

Familiar with some of these, will have to look up the others.

just listening to "Fog of War" at the moment. Have to say pretty good.

 

[DanielBrown]

Well congratulations for discovering the best genre in metal.
Try Tankard, Sodom, Suicidal Tendencies(first three albums) and Kreator.

Annihilator and Overkill are a must. Best damn bands there are. Annihilator went to hell after Padden joined the band though.

 

[Nerfherder17]

I'm dissapointed people, Slayer!? Big four!? I'm a huge fan of Anthrax and Megadeth, Slayer are ok, not too into Mettalica, but I guess I shouldn't be suprised they were mentioned, although they're not what I was after initially. I was listening to the big four before I even got into thrash.

Lately I've been listening to, Municipal Waste, Lich King, Testament (early stuff), Overkill, Exodus, Evildead, DRI, plenty of others that I can't think off the top of my head.

@Voxgiser Not sure I'd call Pantera thrash, I guess its debatable. Also the Metal thread was the inspiration for this one.

Fair enough, like I said, I'm not big on thrash, personally.

Ah, I see, well, hopefully you find some good ones.

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

 

[Mr.Incognitus]

I'd say Pantera is more Groove Metal, their earlier albums were Glam and had some atrocious album artwork

I still love Pantera though. And TY!

Fixed.

And you shouldn't be surprised the Big 4 was mentioned. They're called the Big 4 for a reason.

Haha, that's amazing, thought their first album was cowboys from Hell.
