/r/thrashmetal
Thrash metal is heavy metal that is usually at a higher tempo with influences from punk, speed metal, and hard rock. It's been one of the most successful metal genres, with many platinum albums by the famous bands called the Big Four of Thrash metal which include Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer.
We all love heavy metal but when you need some speed and aggression, in your metal, you go for thrash metal. This is a place for breaking necks, not for slow stuff.
Typically:
Do not post the Big Four. We know who they are. No covers of the Big Four, either.

I found this CD used for 3 bucks and it’s an absolute gem, I think more people should about Walhalla.
I want to listen to the album from my phone but it seems to be nowhere available, neither streaming nor download, all I can find are CDs…
Wasn’t sure which song to choose here… if you haven’t heard of this band, you are missing out… I don’t know why they aren’t like huge. In my opinion they have everything a thrash fan would want and appeal to all sub-genres of thrashers..
Very much inspired by Metallica..
I’m a huge fan of guitar solos and enjoy vocals of all styles, harsh, clean and especially both. My favorite band with these qualities is Avenged Sevenfold and I’m trying to find bands that can scratch that itch of having great heavy songs with stellar vocals and guitar solos but I’ve found that a lot of thrash bands that I’ve heard have (to me) low quality production with vocal mixing that makes it so I only enjoy the guitar. If anyone can suggest bands or songs that could fit the bill I’d really appreciate it.
So, this past year, something that started off as a personal project turned into a full-fledged band. My band's name is Amalgam of Hate, and we are a Dorm Death Trash band (a play on death-thrash) with an emphasis on groove death metal. We aim for an early '90s sound. Everything was recorded and done in my dorm room on my Mac. Our first song is titled 'Worthy Dead', which is inspired completely by Robocop. I sample Robocop multiple times throughout the song, and the lyrics are Robocop's journey, realizing that the splatter punch isn't the only enemy, but the bad cops are as well. The first verse is Robo cleaning up the streets, but the second verse is Robo pissed off at the corrupt police force. If you could give it a listen and some constructive feedback, that would be amazing. If not, I appreciate your time reading this post!

Cheers!
Bands with similar vocal style to Toxik, Forbidden, and Watchtower more specifically.

Enjoy it!
Never should have left Flotsam and Jetsam. Whenever I listen to the 1st two albums "Doomsday For the Deceiver" and "No Place for Disgrace", I just think to myself....his bass playing was so much better on Doomsday (he got credits for No Place For Disgrace). Curious as to what could have been? Would we still have When the Storm Comes Down? What do you all think?
Richard Christy is fucking amazing on this track, wish Iced Earth did more heavy tunes like this one
Was just reading that during one of Exodus's break ups, Holt and Hunting started a band call Wardance. They had a demo out in 1995. Anybody heard it or know where to hear it? Youtube came up blank as far as I can tell....
Straight to the chase: do any decent thrash bands(or similar) from the last ~15 years have a cleaner vocal style?
I was young, but I was there for the first and second wave of Thrash. I liked it most of it. However I cannot seem to find a newer band that interests me. I do like the newer albums from older bands (heathen, death angel, testament, etc.). All the more recently formed bands I find have really harsh vocals. I dont mind a growl or scream in songs to convey an emotion, but when thats the only vocal style on an entire album... to me its a joke. I thought that when death metal first appeared on the scene and I havent been able to overcome that feeling. It stinks because some of the music is technically outstanding. Obviously other people love it and thats great. Its just not for me.
Hi all--not sure if this is a good sub to ask this question but I can't seem to find a clear answer anywhere. When the re-recordings of Bestial Devastation and Morbid Visions came out on CD, it was widely reported that they were created with 2-second gaps between tracks that clearly were meant to flow into each other. I'm just wondering if this has been fixed on subsequent pressings and if anyone has bought these CDs recently who can confirm it? Saw one or two comments on Amazon and elsewhere suggesting maybe it got fixed, but who knows. And their label is unresponsive though I've tried emailing them a couple times.
(I know I could always rip the discs and edit the gaps out but I'd rather buy them with the issue fixed if possible. Opinions about the quality of the re-recordings not required either, I've heard them and like them.)
I'm usually a quiet reader, and I got so many awesome recommandations on this sub !
So yeah, keep on recommending all those great (and often not very well known) bands !
I'll try to give mine more often !
Have a great days thrasher friends 🤘
I kinda like black metal but i mostly like thrash metal. What are some thrash bands that also have some black metal mixed in? Also nothing satanic but if its that dont exist then mabye a japanese thrash metal band if that exists. I also would like something from the past 10 years since i mostly listen to 80s and 90s stuff and only a bit of 2000s stuff.
Hey, I just released my second release. Looking for opinions, what do you guys think. I was mostly inspired by Toxic Holocaust, Hellripper, Bonehunter and such. A few songs are based on videogames such as VTMB and DA:I. The band name itself is a reference to DA:O, probably a bad choice, hahaha.

There ended up being a total of 27 votes, with a total of 150 albums being voted for--a much wider split than the thrash all time vote, especially given the fewer number of votes.
Are there any?
Are they good?
giant robots are cool
I was browsing new albums and came upon this Bolivian? Spanish? band I don't know. Really cool old school sound though, gives me Rust in Peace vibes.
