Thrash

[junglechess]

Which bands, new or old, are most similar to the first few albums of Slayer?

 

[Narcosynthesys68]

Kreator... Coma of Souls is a good place to go to off the top of my head.

 

[Break Zero]

try Dark Angel, Hypnosia, Kreator, Destruction, or Sodom

 

[Greeno]

Try INSANE

They are on Battle Cry Records ... http://www.battlecryrecords.de/ ... A band very much worth checking out if you're looking for some old Slayer sounding stuff.

 

[T.I.E.]

if you want Slayerish music, you should try more metalcore, many of those bands ripped of Slayer's riffing style big time !

try Morning Again or Disciple

 

[Wicked Child]

Kreator, Sodom, some Testament, Morbid Saint, Hypnosia, Dark Angel, and more, but that'll get ya started.

 

[Fangface]

Exumer's first album : Possessed by Fire. Kind of a german answer to Slayer.

Early Dark Angel as well.

 

[JonnyD]

check these guys out!!! they have 2 FREE albums for download here! http://intruder.biz not exzactly Slayeresque but still great Thrash!!!

 

[EVERLOSTINDEADETERNITY]

Fucking NIGHTRAGE, THE DUSKFALL, CARNAL FORGE , DIMENSION ZERO, The Haunted. Come on people these bands are the closest youll ever get to old slayer. Sodom, kreator, Destruction incase you wanna stay with the older style.

 

[MetalLuci]

Happy headbanging!

I'd recommend that you stay away from the Swedish plague of bands like The Haunted, Carnal Forge, Dew-Scented and the like, because they're not Thrash.

Actually Dew Scented are from Germany and they make some excellent thrash. Their latest album "Issue IV" is fantastic!

 

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

try Morning Again or Disciple

Oh god no.. dont recommend him metalcore lol .... but anyways let's put it this way there will never be another band like Slayer though some could try... but i would go with Kreator, Sodom, & Destruction...

 

[nyhc7163]

besides some of the bands mentioned,sacrifice"forward to termination" old school canadian thrash.

I too think that Dew-Scented have little to do with all the Swedish melodeath bands, they sound more like an hybrid bewteen thrash and (brutal) death metal IMO. Good live band too!

I know I am going to see them tomorrow night as support act of the mighty NeverMore!!

 

[BlackGoat]

Did you know these guys used to be called SLAVES (The even copied the SLAYER logo there) and recorded two demos as that ?

WHO used to be called Slaves?

Are you perchance, referring to the band Slavator? Their logo is verrry similar to the Slayer logo.

 

[Platinum Maze]

Check out Sacrifice, from Canada.

 

[Break Zero]

How about Onslaught, specifically the album "The Force". A 45 minute treasure trove of riff after riff after riff

 

[T.I.E.]

Check out Sacrifice, from Canada.

kinda 2nd rate but a nice band... worth checking anyway...

those who want more melodic speed/thrash metal should check Realm too...
