And Justice era Metallica is pretty unique, so you won't find much else like it. Megadeth is probably the most similar. And Metal Church.
 
Alot of thrash bands from the era (80's).. some sound like them some dont.. but if you like thrash then listen to :

D.R.I.
Nuclear Assault
Sacred Reich
Testament
Death Angel
Exodus etc.. etc.. etc..
 
Some of these are mentioned already but:

Death Angel
Overkill
Pantera - Vugar Display of Power (sounds sort of like early Metallica)
Sepultura (early)
Testament (sounds almost exactly like them actually)

Damb every time is see that name metallica i want to bash them but i won't.

Ya I agree, but thats just because they get way overplayed. Anyway;

Meshuggah- Contradictions Collapse
I can't believed no ones mentioned this, but the first one screams Metallica. Also keep in mind none of Meshuggah's other stuff is anything like Metallica. Also I would try looking for some new bands with a new sound, because its great to get into new bands before you get sick of the ones you are listening to. I like to keep my options open.

Heathen - Victims Of Deception
Metal Church - Blessing In Disguise

Trust me. \m/

I second the Metal Church - "Blessing in Disguise." I could write a small book on this reply and not give enough props to that release. With the exception of worse than average production, you can't buy a better power/thrash release than that one. There is not a bad song on the disc.

Hey,
Check out Evergrey.net and download the Blinded video. I love these guys, I think they are what Metallica should be today. BTW, I would love to hear the St. Anger album redone with solos and studio sound!

It seems that many people here think that basically all old school clean vocal thrash is similar to Metallica. In my opinion, each of the major old school thrash bands had their own sound within the context of the genre. I do think that Blistered Earth bear some similarieties to old Metallica with their retro Bay Area sound, but they do not sound that similar.

Yeah, if there was a good remaster/remix done for that album, I'd buy the new copy.
