[Socrates]

First one if for good melodic metal bands. Is there such a thing as melodic thrash? Don't seem like they would go together but there seems to be every kind of metal about nowadays.
Anyway. Melodic, the faster the better

Secondly, any bands abit like 3 Inches of Blood?
Lyrically, vocally, or musically. (SPSPSP?)

Try Kreator-Enemy Of God and The Absence-Riders Of The Plague

As for 3IOB, go for the old school! Judas Priest-Painkiller

For melodic thrash try:
Toxik
Powermad
Annihilator

[Alasdhair]

Melodic thrash... Sanctity definantly... Maybe Metallica's later stuff, or am I just asking to be bitten?

Lyrically like 3 Inches? Try an Viking/Folk/some Black Metal.

 

[Triton]

Try Gevaudan and Turisas.

 

[Skepticism]

Wetwork

 

[DigToChina]

This might be a horrible question but what exactly is melodic thrash metal...?

 

[AchrisK]

I am kinda taking it to mean less harsh thrash with more melody and mostly clean vocals.

 

[Black Core]

Try Turisas.

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Hm, more melodic thrash would basically be power metal a lot of the time...try out maybe Metal Church, Virgin Steele, Manilla Road - Mystification...I dunno.

Thank you so much for this suggestion.

Never really clicked with Judas Priest, but this album is the heaviest and best I've heard them.

Every song is fucking classic
