I want to start writing some material which is basically thrash, but with an evil sort of edge, call it "blackened" or whatever if you prefer.
What I'm thinking of is something with quite raw origins like Venom and Motorhead, but with the complex, dark riffage of releases like Seven Churches and Pleasure to Kill. As for other elements of black metal, like more repeated melodic ideas or more repetitive blasting drum sections, I'm not really decided.
But anyway, I think it is important to know what is around within the genre to help get inspiration and influences, but I feel that the extent of my listening into this 'blackened' thrash stuff is limited.
Some albums I have that sort of add to what I'm thinking of:
Venom - Welcome to Hell
Possessed - Seven Churches (I consider this largely thrash)
Kreator - Pleasure to Kill
Absu - Tara
and quite a lot of the 'staple' albums in the more broad thrash genre, but in terms of delving into the more 'evil' sounding thrash, I need to broaden out.
So to cut a long story short, can anyone help me in this sort of direction?
NOTE: it would be much more helpful if you could say LESS names, but describe a bit about each one (their style, a recommended album, etc) than just listing as many obscure bands that you can think of.
Thanks.

but not necessarily all 'old school' sounding thrash, or indeed doesnt all have to be strictly thrash.
