Testament: "The New Order" and "Low"
Heathen - "Breaking The Silence"
Hallows Eve - "Death & Insanity"
Pariah - "Blaze Of Obscurity"
Skyclad - "Wayward Sons Of Mother Earth"
Anacrusis - "Screams & Whispers"
Imperium - "Too Short A Season"

[delize]

Just a few:

Forbidden - Twisted into Form
Annihilator - Alice in Hell
Kreator - Coma of Souls
Nuclear Assault - Game Over & The Plague
Overkill - Horrorscope
Violence - Eternal Nightmare
Voivod - Dimension Hatross
Sodom - Agent Orange
The Haunted - The Haunted Made Me Do It

 

[Hawk]

Its not exactly Thrash but it does have the same kind of energy. At least it does to me. Try out Children of Bodom. Its fast, melodic and raw! And.... it has keyboards

I will get back on you one the "Old School" thrash bands.

 

[Burkhard]

Coroner - "Mental Vortex" (but all of them will do )

Coroner definitely are/were one of the best thrash metal bands around, yet I´d say their first three albums "R.I.P.", "Punishment For Decadence" and "No More Color" are much more thrash metal than "Mental Vortex"!

Anacrusis - "Screams & Whispers"

A very good album, but to call it thrash metal is quite misleading IMO. As for thrash metal, their debut "Suffering Hour" is definitely the best choice. Songs like "Present Tense", "R.O.T." and "Twisted Cross" are thrash metal par excellence.

Some further recommendations:
Mekong Delta - "Mekong Delta", "The Music Of Erich Zann", "Dances Of Death"
Voivod - "Killing Technology"
Détente - "Recognize No Authority"
Testament - "The Legacy", "Live At Eindhoven"
Forbidden - "Forbidden Evil", "Raw Evil - Live At The Dynamo"
Znowhite - "Act Of God"
Hexenhaus - "A Tribute To Insanity"
Original Sin - "Sin Will Find You Out"

And if you want to try something more technical/complex (not exactly "classical" thrash):
Sieges Even - "Life Cycle"
Watchtower - "Control And Resistance"
Toxik - "Think This"

 

[Jean-Pierre]

"Mental Vortex" is the greatest album EVER.

Dunno points of view, I can question those CF albums as a true thrash the same way Burkhard questioned my posts of Anacrusis and Coroner.

I guess a lot of thrash is in the ear of the beholder, same way than the border between speed/thrash is.

Oh and I believe I missed Anthrax - 'State of Euphoria' from my list.

True,but in Sweden in the beginning everyone said it was Thrash so I still call it that. Before it all got so complicated

Don't remind me

I agree that stick with whatever you learned first works. I'm still getting crazy with so much revisionism.

I used to call Metal Church thrash, but everybody today call it power metal.

First time I heard S.O.D a friend told me that was speed metal, today is suppose to be old hardcore.

The sticker in my "Keeper of The Seven Keys -pt.2" LP called Helloween
progressive metal.

So Celtic Frost is indeed more thrash than anything, but also IMO is one of the forerunners of real black along with Bathory and Venom.

And with all the cores and mutations is getting worse. Hey I have seen Black Sabbath labeled as doom metal :Smug:

I dig older Testament. "Practic What You Preach" is pretty good.
Powermad "Absolute Power" Speed/thrash metal with a high range vocalist
Wrathchild America - "Climbing The Walls" Anthemic thrash cool riffing
Flotsum and Jetsum - "Doomsday for the Deceiver"
Coroner - "Mental Vortex" Awesome 3 man outfit
Forbidden - "Twist Into Form" killer fairly technical threash
Metal Church - "Blessing in Disguise" power metal band, but their heaviest release. Close enough to call thrash and is a true masterpiece with no weak songs.
