Thrash Metal

[A-Life-Less-Plagued]

I think we can all agree that thrash metal is pretty excellent. Lately I have been listening to a lot of Evildead, Gammacide and Sacred Reich. Plz suggest more sweet underrated thrash metal bands.

[PsychoTronn]

Ministry

its like industrial thrash

[A-Life-Less-Plagued]

goddammit

[Eliminator]

not a big fan of thrash

[Channing]

slayer are pretty underrated

[Times Ten]

I assume that you got that Holy Terror album. They are so nice. I dig Anthrax, Frightmare, Ghoul, Hirax, Holy Terror, Lunatics Without Skateboards Inc., Nuclear Assault, Rumpelstiltskin Grinder, S.O.D., Sadus, Slayer, Tankard, Testament, Toxic Holocaust, and Vio-lence.

[NewKindofArmy03]

Tuesday i'm going to see f'ucking DESTRUCTION/MUNICIPAL WASTE. Sadus was on the bill, but now they got replaced by Into Eternity.

[NewKindofArmy03]

Also I think Anthrax-Among the Living is my favorite thrash metal album ever.

[A-Life-Less-Plagued]

Seeing Slayer on friday. Beat that.

Among the Living is up there definitely. Spreading the Disease also rules.

[Times Ten]

My top three favorites are...

Holy Terror - Mind Wars
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Vio-lence - Eternal Nightmare

[Excursions]

The Accused

[RetiredAt21]

Sodom
Kreator
Slayer
Old Metallica
Ghoul

[NewKindofArmy03]

I don't even bring old Metallica up since it's a given.

...And Justice for All and Master of Puppets are the two best metal albums in my eyes.

[A-Life-Less-Plagued]

Anyone else think that And Justice For All is the best Metallica album? Cuz it is.

[NewKindofArmy03]

yup

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Plz suggest more sweet underrated thrash metal bands.
Morbid Saint
Artillery
Razor
Slaughter Lord
Necropolis
Num Skull
Ulysses Siren
Festering Sore
Carnivore
Shah
Lääz Rockit

[A-Life-Less-Plagued]

Thanks dude. Any album suggestions (besides Carnivore)?

[PsychoTronn]

megadeth, anthrax, metallica, ministry, slayer



metallica isn't really thrash though

[A-Life-Less-Plagued]

oh thanks.

[whiteminority]

Slayer is probaly my favorite band out of this, I used to be really into Thrash before I started to listen to hardcore primarily about 2 years ago. I wish I could be in Norfolk Virgina in a week or two because Slayer is playing a date on the Converge tour, which is absolutely sick.

[A-Life-Less-Plagued]

Just found out I'm seeing MEGADETH in March. Awesome.

[RetiredAt21]

Just found out I'm seeing MEGADETH in March. Awesome.

Holy **** that is awesome. Hopefully they'll play "Peace Sells."

[RetiredAt21]

Oh my ****ing god.

[PsychoTronn]

Just found out I'm seeing MEGADETH in March. Awesome.

that's awesome, hopefully they play some of their more thrashy tracks such as rust in pece polaris or lucertia as aposed to their more boring repetitive tracks like crush em and peace sells

have an awesome time seeing megadeth :chug:

[Mr. Ron]

Anyone into watchmaker?

[whiteminority]

Anyone into watchmaker?

I am, they are ****ing sick.

[Times Ten]

Anyone into watchmaker?
Yeah, they rule. I don't think they are thrash metal, though.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Thanks dude. Any album suggestions (besides Carnivore)?
Morbid Saint - Spectrum of Death
Artillery - By Inheritance, Terror Squad
Razor - Violent Restitution, Open Hostility.
Necropolis - Contemplating Slaughter
Num Skull - Ritually Abused
Ulysses Siren - Above The Ashes
Festering Sore - Chlorine For The Gene Pool
Shah - Beware
Lääz Rockit - Know Your Enemy

Also, another awesome band I completely forgot about: Sacrifice (Get Forward To Termination)

Just found out I'm seeing MEGADETH in March. Awesome.
Enjoy it, I saw them in '05 and they were awesome.

[Mr. Ron]

Yeah, they rule. I don't think they are thrash metal, though.

Meh, they sounds thrashy to me on most of their songs.

[Excursions]

Morbid Saint - Spectrum of Death

Most over appreciated metal album ever.

Stuff decent though.

[i am the robots]

My fave thrash bands are Killswitch Engage, Lamb Of God, and Shadows Fall!

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Most over appreciated metal album ever.
Agreed. It's good stuff but it's not really that much better than any other late-'80s Kreator clone.

[RetiredAt21]

My fave thrash bands are Killswitch Engage, Lamb Of God, and Shadows Fall!

What the ****? Do you even know what thrash is?

[Mr. Ron]

lol

[superpeer]

Haha, owned, Matt. >=[

[i am the robots]

What the ****? Do you even know what thrash is?

Yeah, Trivium's thrash, rite :confused:

[RetiredAt21]

Yeah, Trivium's thrash, rite :confused:

I give that a big LOL.

[RadicalPunk]

My fave thrash bands are Killswitch Engage, Lamb Of God, and Shadows Fall!

None of those are thrash. Shadows fall is like a crappy mallcore band, killswitch is metalcore (laughably so) and LoG is groove/metalcore. Neither is Trivium thrash. Fail.

Anybody heard of a thrash band called Dark Angel? Most under-rated thrash band ever. I started getting in to them around the same time I started getting into Napalm Death. They are seriously sick. They really shred live and they are easily the fastest and loudest thrash band ever. Check um out.

[Aus Rotten]

Nuclear Assault
Kreator

Personal favorites, both definately worth a checkin' out. :thumb:

[i am the robots]

Nuclear Assault is probably my favorite thrash band that isn't Megadeth.

I give that a big LOL.

I was successful then.

And in all honesty, all of those bands started out okay, but they lost promise.

Overcast > Shadows Fall.

Anyway, I saw Exodus in the fall, awesome show.

Excellent, thanks J. Can I grab some of this stuff off your getfile?

[RadicalPunk]

They're ub3r obscure so even having one of their cds is an accomplishment.

[A-Life-Less-Plagued]

Dark Angel are not 'ub3r obscure' dude.

[Feel The Darkness]

Excellent, thanks J. Can I grab some of this stuff off your getfile?
yessir, I have most/all of the ones I mentioned.

oh, and Dark Angel rules.

[Excursions]

Dark Angel is one of the biggest thrash bands ever. Still good though.

[A-Life-Less-Plagued]

yessir, I have most/all of the ones I mentioned.

oh, and Dark Angel rules.

what's your AIM? I thought I had you on my list but it seems I do not.

[RadicalPunk]

Dark Angel are not 'ub3r obscure' dude.

Perhaps not where you live. But at least in the U.S., and especially in the southern US, they are unheard of. So for my area, we are talking obscure.

[A-Life-Less-Plagued]

Sure...

[Feel The Darkness]

stfu. I live about as south as it gets in the US, and me and my friends and a bunch of others around here have been listening to Dark Angel for years.

[whiteminority]

Bullshit. I live in ****ing Tennessee and used to live in rural South Carolina where I learned about thrash metal mainly, and Dark Angel was one of the first bands I learned about that wasn't part of the Big Four, and it was all word of mouth no internetm, so definitely not obscure.

[RetiredAt21]

I think we can all agree that RadicalPunk is a RadicalFaggot.

[Feel The Darkness]

That is RadicallyCorrect.

your all radicalretards.

Tenessee is hardly the ****ing south. What Tennessee is is a bunch of stupid yanks who think they live in the south. Try ****ing southeast texas. It doesn't get any more southern than that. We got two kinds of music down here, Country and Western.

Hopefully we'll scare this kid off like we did those Japanese guys. LOL.

[Bartender]

They're ub3r obscure so even having one of their cds is an accomplishment.

Dark Angel are only just outside the big four, aren't they?

I know I got my (so far) only Dark Angel album in a Virgin Megastore.. they're not that obscure.

[Eliminator]

Hopefully we'll scare this kid off like we did those Japanese guys. LOL.

but dude as cities burn and the devil wears prada are so ****ing good!

[RetiredAt21]

:lol:

So glad those guys are gone. We just need to get rid of RadicalPunk.

[RadicalPunk]

stfu dumbass. Testament is widely considered to be the unnamed big fifth, not Dark Angel. Dark Angel had their popularity, mind you, but it was more like the popularity of, say, Green River, as compared to the incredible success of Nirvana. Cult hit status you might say.

[RetiredAt21]

http://www.myspace.com/ohshittheyregoingtokillus

This band is awesome.

Fix the first link. Change poop to ****. Duh.

I know you've been banned already, but I know you're still lurking this, so...

It's "you're" not "your". lol.

Oh, and I live in Laredo, TX, which, I'm sure, is farther south than wherever you live. Plus, SE TX has Houston and Corpus, both are MAJOR thrash cities. You're still a RadicalTard.

[RetiredAt21]

Seriously, just listen to J, he knows what he's talking about. You can't really argue with J.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Testament suck. They may be more popular, but Darkness Descends is one hundred times the album The Legacy is.

Alex Skolnick is the only thing Testament have going for them.

[i am the robots]

I forgot how good Anthrax is. I like trendy thrash :).

but dude as cities burn and the devil wears prada are so ****ing good!

I like As Cities Burn :(.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Anthrax are fun, but I'd rather listen to Nuclear Assault.

[i am the robots]

Well yeah, Nuclear Assault is elite.

[RetiredAt21]

Anthrax are fun, but I'd rather listen to Nuclear Assault.

Nuclear Assualt is better than Anthrax.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Truth.

[RetiredAt21]

But

Nuclear Death > Nuclear Assault

Sorry

[i am the robots]

I WOULDNT KNOW TBH

but some recommendations/a myspace/some youtube links would be nice

[Apocalyptic Raids]

But

Nuclear Death > Nuclear Assault

Sorry
I like Bride of Insect but it can't touch Survive or Game Over.

[RetiredAt21]

Nuclear Death \m/

Asschapel is so awesome. I really dig Total Worship. They have a hilarious name, also.

[RetiredAt21]

Yeah man, I love the riffage in their songs. The Final Command has a sick riff.

[NewKindofArmy03]

Kreator/Destruction/Sodom tour happening next year, insane tour.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Awesome tour.

[RetiredAt21]

Kreator/Destruction/Sodom tour happening next year, insane tour.

Holy ****, that is incredible.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

They did it back in '02 or something too.

[RetiredAt21]

Damn, I can't miss that **** again.

[Neoteric]

I'm listening to Anthrax right now, probably my favourite thrash band now.

[Feel The Darkness]

I'm gonna go ahead and say it. I like Anthrax more than Nuclear Assault, but NA is really good, too, though.

[A-Life-Less-Plagued]

I definitely prefer Anthrax to Nuclear Assault. But Nuclear Assault ****ing rip.

[Feel The Darkness]

I definitely prefer Anthrax to Nuclear Assault. But Nuclear Assault ****ing rip.
Yeah. I love Game Over, but I still prefer most stuff Anthrax did to NA's discog. I used to play Nuclear War on bass all the time.

[Neoteric]

I kinda really want to see Anthrax live.

That would be awesome.

[Feel The Darkness]

They played Houston on one of their off dates from their tour with Rob Zombie, and did a show where they played Among the Living from start to finish plus some other stuff. I wish I could've made it to that show.

[RetiredAt21]

I like Nuclear Assault alot more than Anthrax. I'm not exactly sure why, though.

[Brandon_S]

Not a fan of the thrash.

[whiteminority]

Same thing here.

[RetiredAt21]

Nuclear Assault sounds like a death metal band name.

[Agressive Perfector]

No it doesn't...

[Feel The Darkness]

Nuclear Assault sounds like a death metal band name.
not at all.

Nuclear stuff/War/Satan/War/anger/random one word names=thrash metal

death/disease/gore/undead/surgery=death metal

DUH!

hah

[whiteminority]

Nuclear Assault sounds like a death metal band name.

Political/Doomsday names are thrash.

Then J has the obviouses for DM.

[RetiredAt21]

Whatev guys, I still think it sounds a little death metal-ish.

[whiteminority]

Whatev.

[RetiredAt21]

Speaking of thrash, Crucial Unit rule.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've got the split with Municipal Waste. To be honest I've never really listened to their side.

[RetiredAt21]

I've got the split with Municipal Waste. To be honest I've never really listened to their side.

Dude, that has some of their best **** on it. Their split with Muncipal Waste tears. Listen to "Million Dollar Thrash Song." It's awesome.

[punknmetal4lyf]

Leik, Dark Angel is the word yo. NA rips too. I like my thrash real heavy like Dark Angel but not like Slayer. Never been a slayer fan.

[RetiredAt21]

How can you not like Slayer, fool?

[punknmetal4lyf]

The lyrics are shittier than most thrash metal acts, for one. Insert random comment about Jesus Christ and blasphemy and drop the f-bomb a few times.

I don't not like Slayer. Musically, aside from the lyrics, I like to listen to them if I am in a particularly aggressive mood. I'm just not much of a fan of them and think they are a tad over-rated.

[whiteminority]

Their lyrics are meant to be a different approach on life, and in particular their are some great social anyalses when Tom writes lyrics. Read the lyrics off South of Heaven and don't take everything at face value.

[punknmetal4lyf]

An unforeseen future nestled somewhere in time.
Unsuspecting victims no warnings, no signs.
Judgment day the second coming arrives.
Before you see the light you must die.

Forgotten children, conform a new faith,
Avidity and lust controlled by hate.
[the] never ending search for your shattered sanity,
Souls of damnation in their own reality.

Chaos rampant,
An age of distrust.
Confrontations.
Impulsive habitat.

Bastard sons beget your cunting daughters,
Promiscuous mothers with your incestuous fathers.
Engreat souls condemned for [all] eternity,
Sustained by immoral observance a domineering deity.

Chaos rampant,
An age of distrust.
Confrontations.
Impulsive sabbath.

On and on, south of heaven [x 4]

Lead: king

The root of all evil is the heart of a black soul.
A force that has lived all eternity.
A never ending search for a truth never told.
The loss of all hope and your dignity.

Chaos rampant,
An age of distrust.
Confrontations.
Impulsive habitat.

On and on, south of heaven [x 4]


Not bad, but fairly typical of heavy metal/thrash metal. Not to mention it says relatively little that you couldn't glean from reading any book or listening to any song. Like I said, their lyrics are nothing special.

I'm not saying I hate slayer, I just don't masturbate to their music like most metalheads.

[RetiredAt21]

I don't masturbate to their lyrics.

[Feel The Darkness]

Anyways, I mean the album in general not that song itself.

[Elliptical Ion]

I love me some Thrash. Early Anthrax, early Slayer, and Testament are all excellent.
