Chuck Billy and I'm not even a big fan of Testament

As I said it before...
Do we really needed to bring this thread back?
@spacebeer: you're the same that posts at the WB board?
Yup I am!
Awsome! Welcome to our den of insanity
After a lot of thinking I will put too Nicole Lee. Hher vocals on Znöwhite LP are fantastic (I know some put them more as speed that thrash, but the lines are sometimes blurred there).
Fully seconded. However, while I do like Nicole Lee's vocals on "Act of God" very much, my choice for this topic is Dawn Crosby (R.I.P.).I think "act of god" is an underrated classic, I don;t like the first two Zhowhite records nearly closely as much.
np: Coroner - "Paralyzed, Mesmerized"
Yep, me too. His vocals are just perfect.Gonna run with Russ Anderson on this one!
Jimmy P. Brown from Deliverance. Total snarl in his voice and he could nail some high notes too which made his vocal style rather diverse.
I have to say that when I bought this album 17 years ago and listenend to it, I was somewhat disappointed that most of the songs were a lot slower and less complex than the stuff they had released before, but it seems that nowadays "Grin" is the Coroner album which gets the most spins from me.Cool to see sombody else to like "Grin". The way they changed the sound not many digest that album.

. But Kill 'em all was one album. That's one album out of...8? I don't think you can call them a thrash band on that evidence. Master of Puppets wasn't really thrash,
You do realize that Metallica is one of the big 4 of thrash right? (Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax)and Master of Puppets was the most critically acclaimed thrash album of all time. Metallica had 4 thrash albums which were the first 4. Then they changed their sound after the 80's ended and grunge became the genre of choice. I'd go as far as to say that Death Magnetic is a a return to the roots for sure, the best thing they've done since "...And Justice For All" in my opinion.
I guess if we are being really liberal about what thrash is, I will have to go with Mike Howe (Metal Church) Those other guys really can't touch him.
Mike Howe totally rules. He has that "Dio" type of snarl to his voice yet he could still hit some high notes and make his singing quite melodic.
Fun fact: I hear he's now an evangelical Christian.
