I hope that's a joke

I'd also like to add Samael.

 

[Vortex]

As for thrash bands, to my ears the thrashiest would be Kreator.

 

[Alex78]

Meshuggah, especially on the Chaosphere album.

 

[MacMoney]

Dark Angel, Forbidden and Sadus are quite good recommendations.

 

[Xenomorph]

Neurosis and Meshuggah

 

[M.Lehto]

I think The Haunteds fisrt album is heavy and a classic...

 

[Jesburger]

slayer, sodom

[ProgMetalFan]

Zero Hour

Extremely heavy tech/prog metal

 

[DoAsISayNotAsIDo]

Slayer, Kreator, Destruction

POSSESSED!!! :rocks: "Seven Churches" is brutal as fuck! And they even had a song called "Death Metal"... It's amazing, that their guitarist plays now in Primus (!)...
Also old Kreator is cool. Also Testament is one of my faves, but they are more melodic than brutal. And of course Slayer, although "Show No Mercy" sounds more like Iron Maiden or Judas Priest...
But if you want REAL deathrash, check our band
Mental Terror and these wicked songs!!

How about Death? I totally agree with earlier threads on testament- Forbidden and Meshuggah- and I think a band like the haunted, seems to have really copied testament- but added death vocals. Early Testament is my fav though

 

[phon1c]

Converge (just listen to concubine, heavier than DEP), or perhaps nasum? Of course if you want to include the genre of noise then the answer is pretty much every noise band. "Merzbow - pulse demon".. need I say any more?

 

[tapping_the_vein]

anything in the hardcore/metalcore catagory like ateryu and ringworm and probably venom

 

[Autumn Falls]

I REALLY find it hard to consider Merzbow a thrash or heavy band.. hell I have a hard them considering it a band.

Hah.. to each his own though.
