Ok, not to flame you, but some of those are just dumb.

Shadows Fall, Testament (more Death now), Slayer, Overkill, and Iced Earth are the only ones that come close. The rest I haven't heard (I put a * by them), or they are not thrash at all. Extol is definitely not thrash, more like death with black influences, and soft parts. Symphony X is a prog/power mix, and Dream Theater is the quintessential prog rock/metal band.

Lamb Of God is awesome. I guess maybe you'd call them "post thrash" or something.



meh.

Dew Scented - the best true thrash band of this "generation." They are not American, but they are pure modern thrash, and I would advise anyone who likes thrash to check them out. Pure ownage.

That band is truely wicked and intense. They're like thrash metal with God Forbid-like vocals. Not too many thrash metal bands around now after the 80s came to an end.

My favourite thrash metal bands are Sepultura (obviously), Slayer and Kreator.

 

[ShadowOfDeath]

okay, most people don't seem to know what thrash metal is. System of a down? thrash metal? LMAO. no where near. They're just nu-metal. Their music isn't bad but it is a little annoying.

Favorite thrash Bands:

Slayer
Anthrax
Overkill
Shadows Fall
Pantera
Death Angel
Nuclear Assault
Annihilator
Sepultura
Exodus
Mercyful Fate
Megadeth
Metallica(anything before the black album)
Destruction
Kreator

Hey, man you can have your opinion, but SOAD will be thrash in my book.

Yeah, I forgot Kreator, Sodom, Nuclear Assault, and Metal Church. Actually, I think most of those bands are German, but they follow the Thrash style to a 'T,' so .

No matter where they're from still great thrash

 

[MURAI]

My ass. SOAD aren't thrash metal at all.

American Thrash is shit compared to German Thrash.
Germany has:
Kreator
Destruction
Sodom
Exhumer
Risk
Living Death
Holy Moses
Iron Angel

I Bet you can't name me that many good American Thrash bands.

Everyone, add Profanity to your ignore list.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Who decides what band is what style? To me, SOAD are thrash. End of discussion. No, no, shut up, shut up. I said, end of discussion!

 

[Erik]

Hey, man you can have your opinion, but SOAD will be thrash in my book.

Then either your book needs a serious fucking revision or someone needs to arrange a book burning near you asap.

 

[Profanity]

Everyone, add Profanity to your ignore list.

Now why would they want to do a thing like that?

 

[charnee]

Overkill good.

 

[Profanity]
