Looking for Heathen/Forbidden alike bands...

[Arkham_Asylum]

Besides the well known bands of the bay area thrash scene I am looking for other bands that may have that feel that Forbidden , Toxik, & Heathen have where they play thrash (with more melody) that borders that line with speed metal as well and technical guitar solo work but still intense and heavy.

I don't seem to find many of those bands in this new thrash revival soo much....

Maybe it's just me?

 

[AngraRULES]

Not necessarily Bay Area Thrash, but have you given Paradox a chance? I mean, they're more in the German school, but still...



I take you know Flotsam and Jetsam? Also, if you like Heathen, give PROTOTYPE a chance. It's Vince/Kragen's other band - progressive/thrash:

Vektor has the tech thing down for sure, but it's more Voivod and less Forbidden.


Antichrist (Sweden) is the best thrash band of the 21st century. I wouldn't call them techy at all, and you can tell just how much they worship those older Kreator and Destruction records, but I hear some Dark Angel in there, too.

I'd recommend Altered Aeon...




Also-- Realm.

 

[Pelata]

Try the band REALM...

 

[Nidstang]

One of my favourite progressive thrash albums.
I think you'll enjoy Synergy





There is even a beautiful acoustic ballad

How about Coroner? If you are not familiar, get them all.

 

[SF Metal Man]

How about Laaz Rockit?

 

[Arkham_Asylum]

Thanks everyone for your suggestions... I know about Paradox, Flotsam & Jetsem, Laaz Rockit, Realm, Coroner, Extol, and vektor. I know i wasn't very clear about which bands I already knew in genre but it's ok.

Antichrist sounded good so I will definetly check out more from them. Thanks.

I have a few to suggest.


Angelus Apatrida




Panikk




Havok




Personally, I think Panikk is a page right out of the old school Testament book. And Angelus Apatrida is a personal favorite...one of the best of the nu thrash breed.

 

[Jasonic]

Vio-Lence "Eternal Nightmare"

 

[VenomGA]

Artillery from Denmark, Wrath from the US, Toxik from the US, Holy Moses from Germany and Sacred Reich from the US

 

[RiffDaemon]

Havok

Stellar album. The mix is perfect, and that drummer's a beast.

 

[Diabolik]

later era Liege Lord

 

[mel_progson]

My 2 cents worth...

Poltergeist



Deathrow

 

[Justin G]

How about Coroner? If you are not familiar, get them all.

If you can find them.

 

[MetalAges]

Thanks for the Havok tip, excellent stuff!

Yeah man. I love Evile...one of my favs too. They remind me SO much of Metallica in their prime.
