I honestly, genuinely feel sorry for anyone that would consider this anything other 100% pure thrash metal.
1986 swedish metal, apparently a big influence on Nihilist and the whole Swe-death wave of bands.

So you're going to say that Dawn Patrol is a full track?.... but yes, Rust in Peace is 100% thrash metal .. i genuinely feel sorry for anyone that would argue otherwise. That's as good as saying "hey, their cover tracks aren't thrash metal" ...
.
It doesn't need to be a full track. The fact that 2 minutes of non-thrash metal exists on the album makes it not 100% thrash metal...
Album is 40 minutes long. 38/40=.95
The album is less than or equal to 95% pure thrash metal![]()
