Thrash!

[Burkhard]

Title track of Voivod's upcoming EP - I like it:

 

[Baroque]

From 2011, but I haven't seen it on here before. Conan from Exmortus was wearing a shirt from these dudes. Good stuff.

 

[Krow]

Can anyone recommend me some full lengths that kind of straddle the line of traditional metal (or power) and thrash? Vocals being more traditional and less thrash oriented would be nice too.

If you know a bunch please do post them, I'll eventually go through them all.

 

[CiG]

Nasty Savage instantly comes to mind but I think you're likely already familiar with that one.

 

[Slayed Necros]

All I'm thinking of is old speed metal like Agent Steel or maybe Iron Angel. Wrong or right direction?

Thrash metal with good singing voices, is this what you're getting at?

Right direction

Refuge Denied by Sanctuary would be a good call. Sadly, their second album is like a totally different band and way too much like Nevermore for me to like it. I wish that they didn't go in such a lame musical direction.

Also, it might be obvious, but Helstar's first four albums.

I just bought that Sanctuary album and it's the reason I decided to ask the question actually.

Helstar is great too.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

A few obvious ones here, but fuck it ...

Satan
Toxik
Realm
Laaz Rockit
Agent Steel
Metal Church
Sentinel Beast(kind of)
Flotsam and Jetsam
Forbidden
Artillery

These two are probably more along the lines of what you're looking for ...

 

[The Ozzman]

These dudes are coming here in May with Striker so I'll be hitting up that show.

This is more HBB's expertise but a lot of good ones have been mentioned so far. I'll think on it. Did you check out that Spellcaster track above? They're more on the heavy/speed side of things than thrash. You may like Enforcer from Sweden.

I posted it a few times when it came out

I'd say most of the essential trad/thrash have already been mentioned, but Have Mercy's EP and Deadly Blessing's Ascend from the Cauldron are worth a listen if you're into Helstar and can tolerate high-register/non-masculine vox. Fates Warning's No Exit can get pretty thrashy on occasion too actually, as much as the first Sanctuary album at least.

 

[no country for old wainds]

in the same ballpark as helstar (the BEST) and deadly blessing, i'd recommend gargoyle's S/T. also hexx's UNDER THE SPELL is neat.

I see Armoured Angel's Communion has seen a recent reissue and I'm pretty tempted to grab it.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Armoured Angel are a damn good band. I worship Stigmartyr and Mysterium.
