mid-tempo thrash?

[klundert]

Hi there, ik like thrash songs such as Practice what you preach by Testament and Creeping death by Metallica etc. Do you guys know which bands play (most of) their songs in that tempo? The fast drums you hear a lot are nice too, but i prefer the mid-tempo bits in all the songs, so i'm trying to find bands that play that stuff. Please help me find some great bands!

Check out Youthanasia, Countdown to Extinction and a lot of Voivod.

Even though "In my Darkest Hour" is one of my all time favourites, i'm not a Megadeth fan. I will check out Voivod! Thanks a lot!

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Used to jam this song in high school, not super well versed in thrash or them but maybe you'll like it

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Since when is Mushroomhead thrash?

Mushroomhead sounds cool, but it's not what i was looking for. Warclown comes a lot closer, but still not there yet. I discovered Wolfpack Unleashed, and that's a lot like what i meant. Thanks though

EDIT: Admittedly it isn't most of their songs, though. I was originally going to post Cerebral Fix until I realized you're probably looking for something a bit more polished and modern, but just in case, they were one of the slower thrash bands around.

Megadeth is definitely the first band that comes to mind.

Slayer - South of Heaven?


Pantera - Cemetary Gates?


Looking through my collection, I definitely drift towards the faster/ more technical side of things. I'll think on it some more.

Anthrax's new(ish) album:

I like the Exodus song Thanks

 

[klundert]

Megadeth is alright, i just can't stand Dave's singing.

South if Heaven is a classic too. I like it. The Seasons in th Abyss album is great too.

Phantom Antichrist is a great album! Grew up listening to Coma of Souls. Like this one better

 

[Baroque]

Here's a lesser known one: Abstract - Concrete Visions

There are quite a few mid tempo riffs.

 

[Bloopy]

Not pure thrash bands, but a couple of songs from some albums worth checking out:

 

[klundert]

I'll go check them out. Thanks guys.

This is terrible.

OP, check out Pleasure to Kill by Kreator. Songs like Riot of Violence are pretty mid-paced. I don't know how you expect to find a thrash band who plays nothing but mid-paced songs.

Also, Sodom's Persecution Mania. Bombenhagel has some awesome bouncy riffs.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

The majority of Pleasure to Kill was some of the fastest thrash of its time, though.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Yeah, which is why I was only really referencing that song.
