Wanted: More Thrash metal!

[Master_Shredder]

I'm pretty new to metal and have been trying out alot of new bands lately. My favorites are currently Pantera, Slayer, and Metallica. Although I don't care for Antrhax too much. Talk about mainstream haha. I also enjoy Megadeth, Lamb of God, Children of Bodom and a few others. What are some good bands that sound like pantera or slayer? I like bands with "cleaner" vocals but still listen to some with harsh. Also, I don't care for genuine satanist bands so don't post them plz. thanks for your help!

I assume by cleamer you mean not death growls or black screams. None of these are like that. But none of them are much like Slayer or Pantera either.

Tankard - True thrash to the core, semi-harsh vox
Agent Steel - more speed metal, clean vocals
Powermad - thrash clean vocals
Coroner - somewhat harsh vox, but genius thrash
Intruder
Exodus
Death Angel - The Ultraviolence will blow you away
Kreator - harsher vocals, but earlier albums are essential
Flotsam and Jetsam - Doomsday for the Deceiver

Maybe a closer match for the Slayer/Pantera vibe could be Himsa. They may be considered more metalcore, but really they have a lot in common with Slayer.

 

[The Ozzman]

Testament
Destruction
Vio-lence
Sodom
Kreator

 

[AchrisK]

Vio-lence

Yes indeed!!!

Destruction tends to have more evil themes, but they are amazing!

LISTEN TO OVERKILL OR I WILL BITCHSLAP YOU!!!

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

My favorites are currently Pantera, Slayer, and Metallica.

Pantera were a faggy and cheesy glam band before they RIPPED OFF EXHORDER... but I quess some people can't come up with thier on ideas.

ps. Listen to exhorder. It's better then pantera.

Yeah, amazing how similar Pantera sounds to Slaughter in the Vatican. I dislike both bands.

Haha yea right, I saw a guy from that band on the Vh1 rocDocs. He's fuckin weird. Graahl or something right?

 

[rescued by oblivion]

Well..im more of a melodic death/black metal and progmetal fan.. But since i have journeyed the treacherous paths of thrash metal also, i would recommend to you bands like
Mudvayne (not too heavy)
Ill nino (commercial thrash)
Avenged sevenfold (like iron maiden)
Trivium (again commercial thrash)
Between the buried and me (progressive thrash)

 

[Rumpole]

None of those are thrash bands, and saying that Avenged Sevenfold is like Iron Maiden is probably simultaneously the funniest and wrongest thing I've seen on this forum.

 

[Seditious]

Kreator
Final Breath
Interzone
Razor

 

[DropDeadFred]

testament, kreator, exodus, sodom, tankard, overkill, death angel, and everyones favorite warrel dane fronted sanctuary.

I know everyone has mentioned these bands already, but they are right. If you want some killer thrash metal, you need to pick up these bands.

 

[zim18]

first off i dont understand how someone can say they like thrash yet dont like anthrax, secondly fuck overkill they should change their name to overrated

that's the value of this board. such an efficient way to weed out shitty fuckin recommendations (Edge of Sanity rule, but yea, not in this thread )
