Those Thrash Metal bands...

[VelociBrad]

Here's a list I made a little while back of my top 30 thrash albums.

Thanks for that great post back there, had never heard of any of those bands apart from Vektor, some real killer stuff in there. Particularly the Vendetta one.

Wow today I discovered a lot of good Thrash Metal bands, recently I got into Thrash Metal again and its a big list of worth listening bands that I had never listened to. Special thanks to Caveman Ninja

No worries at all! Honestly, there's not much I like better than turning people on to some really underrated bands, who I think deserve more exposure! Just so glad you're enjoying them... Vendetta are really one of the great bands who never really made it... Brain Damage is a superb album but no-one ever mentions it, and it just gets forgotten about. I think it's out of print, but I picked up a copy from ebay for cheap, and it turns up there quite often.

Go forth and thrash! And if you get through that lot then come back and I'll throw more stuff your way... melodic thrash is something of an obsession of mine

 

[The Emptier]

If death thrash counts merciless kick ass

and this is my friends band who just got signed to heavy artillery with the help of vektor actually who put in some good words




qualities not amazing and this was just their first little ep but they seriously destroy and of all the concerts/bands I've seen they're still one of my favorite

 

[Caveman Ninja]

I can't believe I forgot to put in Exhorder! Slaughter In The Vatican is ridiculously heavy and is beyond badass, The Law (their next album) is basically just shittier Pantera with worse production but SITV is awesome (they told some story about how the label or producer made it a certain way they didn't want and how they wish the production and such was more like The Law, thanks to whoever DIDN'T let them make that change haha)

Yeah man, I pretty much agree with you. The Law doesn't do much for me at all... They've got a blog on their myspace about how Scott Burns ruined the album... to me it sounds a million times better than the follow-up. There's something cathartic and pleasing about the uber-heavy Scott Burns sound...

Testament will always be "KING"

 

[w0es]

I like their early albums but I don't get what you mean? King among the Thrash Metal bands you know?

 

[VelociBrad]

Testament is overrated.

 

[Caveman Ninja]

No way, Testament's first three are great...

 

[VelociBrad]

Don't even belong in the conversation of "best thrash metal". Will never understand why people think every popular Bay Area band is "the best ever".

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

No way, Testament's first three are great...

yea their first two are untouchable classics, with The New Order being one of the best thrash metal albums of all time.

 

[The Ozzman]

Toxik
Exumer
Atrophy
Coroner
Slayer
etc

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Aside from the debut album, I'm most partial towards Skolnick-less Testament. Their others are really boring platforms for the occasional great guitar solo.

Judging by the rest of this thread you're pretty bad at understanding the fact that other people's opinions are just as valid as your own... Sorry for disagreeing with you. I won't do it again.

 

[Pmmassacre]

Every thrash discussion turns into a shit fest of arguing over what is good and what isn't.
So freaking ridiculous.

People who think Testament is the greatest generally have very limited knowledge of thrash. Fact.

 

[Karmablade]

old sepultura, besides that there isnt anything real good out there so i made my own thrash band.

 

[Satanstoenail]

You're a moronic troll and your band sucks arse.

 

[The Ozzman]

Old School = AIDS
