Fastest thrash band out there?

[Blinded By Blood]

So far in my experience Kreator on Pleasure to Kill has probably been the fastest

 

[Mr_Haze]

From the top of my head I'd say Fastkill's 'Infernal Thrashing Holocaust'.

 

[unknown]

Dark Angel gets pretty insane.

Thanks for recommending a fucking killer album

vocals are insane

 

[Lee_B]

Razor - "Shotgun Justice"

 

[monkeypole]

rummaging through my c.d collection i would have to say ragining speedhorn is pretty god damn fast and although they 're probably more verging towards punk than metal,Suicidal tendances oyld stuff is pretty explosive!

 

[5thSeason]

In my personal collection id say either Artillery, Sadus, and prolly Terror 2000 (hey, just cause they are swedish doesnt mean they arent thrash give them a chance... especially their latest album, its fast, crazy, and funny)

 

[Life Sucks]

Something by the thrash band Wehrmacht. But generally, death metal and black metal can get a lot faster than any thrash.

 

[skeptik]

In terms of guitars, not much gets faster than the fastest of Thrash bands. You don't really get much faster. But yeah, obviously since 99% of Thrash bands don't use blast beats, one could make that argument.

 

[Alongside Death]

Maybe not the fastest but IMO the greatest Deathchain

if you're talking about the speed at which they repeat a riff, but DM most certainly produces the most number of notes in the shortest time.

 

[Mort Divine]

Terror Squad is pretty fucking fast. Fucking crazy Japanese thrash.

I guess you've never heard Expulser, who do use blast beats as well.

 

[Teh Grimace]

werent you just talking about thrash bands not having blastbeats wtf omg lol

 

[skeptik]

99%

That leaves room for 1%

Like Expulser, Gammacide, and a select few others.

 

[Teh Grimace]

but surely there's some crossover in style between the 1% of thrash with blasting and the 1% of DM without it

genres are like assholes, most bands have more than one

 

[Teh Grimace]

^ made that up just now

 

[skeptik]

Actually most early Death Metal and nearly all of the Swedish scene had no blast beats. Blast beats are what kills Metal.

 

[Teh Grimace]

define 'blastbeats'... how fast does a beat have to be to qualify as "blasting"?
