Looking for some new bands (old or whatever!) in the genre of technical thrash! (the style of early Metallica (read: lightning, puppets & justice), early Megadeth, Testament in the Skolnick era, Equinox etc.) Anyone that got a tip or recommendation?
 
Anacrusis! Go to their official homepage and download all their albums/demos and some live stuff.

Start with the first album and hear them progress!

Let me know how you like them. :)
 
Ok, i'm leaving some of my very favorites out, because they're not what you're looking for, but here's what you ARE looking for:
Overkill-Horrorscope, The Years Of Decay
Anthrax-Persistence Of Time
Dark Angel-Time Does Not Heal
Coroner-No More Color,Punishment For Decadence
Annihilator-Alice In Hell
Death Angel-The Ultra-Violence
Kreator-Coma Of Souls
Watchtower-Energetic Disassembly
 
technical thrash? how about :

Artillery - By Inheritance
Forbidden - Twisted into Form
Deathrow - Deception Ignored
Watchtower - Control and Resistance
Hades - Resisting Success
Coroner - Punishment for Decadence
Dark Angel - Time Does not Heal
Believer - Dimensions
Mekong Delta - Mekong Delta
Annihilator - Never Neverland
Heathen - Victims of Deception
Vio-Lence - Eternal Nightmare
 
Of those albums already mentioned I can confirm at least 75% (the ones I own myself), but I guess you can rely on the other 25% of the recommendations as well.:)

A few albums I would like to add:
Sieges Even - "Life Cycle"
Forbidden - "Forbidden Evil"
Hexenhaus - "A Tribute To Insanity", "The Edge Of Eternity"
Mekong Delta - "The Music Of Erich Zann", "The Principle Of Doubt", "Dances Of Death"
Toxik - "World Circus" (not as technical and "thrashy" as "Think This", but still worth a mention)
Coroner - "R.I.P."
Mordred - "Fool´s Game"

And here´s the link to the Anacrusis-website Hawk already mentioned:

@Wicked Child: Wasn´t it "Years Of Decay"?

Listen to this man! He knows what he is talking about. Sieges Even RULE!!
 
Yeah the usual suspects: Anacrusis, Watchtower, Coroner, Mekong Delta
 
Coroner also gets my vote.

Three others not mentioned:

Wrathchild America - "Climing the Walls" and "3D"
Powermad - "Absolute Power"
Metal Church - "Blessing in Disguise" (a blend of thrash and American power metal, but that CD is on par with anything Metallica ever wrote in my ears)

Cool band. They kind of had that Exodus "Bonded By Blood" sound on the first album (VICIOUS ATTACK), the second album (THE ONLY SAFE PLACE) was toned down a little. Both albums were on Combat and both are worth checking out. Been a long time since I've heard them, may have to give them a spin soon. :)

Does that sound right Sayer... comparing them to early Exodus? Like I said, it's been a long time since I've played either album.
 
Kreator - Pleasure To Kill
Dark Angel - Darkness Descends
Destruction - Eternal Devastation
Annihilator - Alice In Hell
Overkill - The Years Of Decay
Evildead - Annihilation Of Civilization
