Atari: The Decline Of Thrash Music

Atari 12.27.12	seriously what happened to thrash? How did 1990 and 1991 have so much good thrash and then by 1993 is was basically vanished off the earth?
zxlkho 12.27.12	Thrash became irrelevant as soon as death metal had a few great albums in the early 90s. It still is irrelevant outside of a few bands.
theacademy 12.27.12	wat
Tyrael 12.27.12	according to KILL it died in 93
Atari 12.27.12	@zxlkho, my list proves that thrash wasn't irrelevant until at least after 1991 :P
YankeeDudel 12.27.12	we went over this. thrash was not a very diverse genre. yea you had some that leaned more towards power/prog and some more towards death/black, but ultimately its kind of a straightforward genre. there wasnt anywhere else it could have went and just ran its course. death/black metal just overtook thrash and then the whole grunge/alt/nu metal became very popular. thrash had a good run tho so enjoy the mems.
Atari 12.27.12	@Ty, well then i agree with KILL
Atari 12.27.12	@academy, what are you confused about?
JamieTwort 12.27.12	I'd say thrash pretty much died in 92, despite a few exceptions.
Geadom 12.27.12	Nothing to contribute right now, but posting on great thread to watch : )
Atari 12.27.12	yeah 1992 had extravasation and epidemic of violence though that's why i say 1993 ;)
JamieTwort 12.27.12	I meant by the end of 92, so yeah I guess you could just say 93. Nice list btw.
YankeeDudel 12.27.12	basically every genre of music is lucky to last about 6-7 years until it starts gettng tedious and just starts running through the motions.
Atari 12.27.12	thanks, it's fun to look at my ratings by release date and i couldn't believe how many thrash albums there were in 1990 and 91 compared to 93 and 94
ButteryBiscuitBass 12.27.12	You've just reminded me, I need to listen to more thrash.
Atari 12.27.12	what would i do without your infinite knowledge yankee? :P
evilford 12.27.12	rip at least they recorded their music so we can still listen to it
YankeeDudel 12.27.12	well you asked a question you should have been able to answer yourself jus sayin but yea i just pounded some coffee and wanted to rant a lil bit.
Atari 12.27.12	i do actually enjoy some recent thrash, it's just missing that spark that made it so good in the 80's and 90's
ZombieParty 12.27.12	Have you heard of a band called Vektor? they are pretty good
Atari 12.27.12	@Yankee, yeah i suppose i could have answered it myself but I asked the question so I could get different opinions/viewpoints
Eclecticist 12.27.12	Usually, I hate it when users comment on a list and say that the topic should have been posted in the forums. But this is definitely one of those topics that should have been.
Atari 12.27.12	why? it's a list with 25 albums on it lol
Eclecticist 12.27.12	Because then it could be an on-going discussion focused on when the golden era of thrash really did end.
RiffOClock 12.27.12	some1 give the dude a medal
Atari 12.27.12	@Eclecticist, my bad i doubt the discussion will go on that long anyways ;)
evilford 12.27.12	forums suck good list anyways, it's fine here
Eclecticist 12.27.12	lol you guys suck, it was just a suggestion oh well
evilford 12.27.12	well I don't really think there's much more to be said, thrash is dead, rip, here's some good albums, listen and reflect the end
Atari 12.27.12	lol ford
wakeupdead 12.27.12	you should watch the thrash episode of Metal Evolution, it explains a lot.... basically Grunge happened
Atari 12.27.12	ugh i can't stand grunge
alachlahol 12.27.12	what this guy^^ said! grunge happened not death metal!!
evilford 12.27.12	altars of madness/chaos A.D. killed thrash really
alachlahol 12.27.12	and you know this how
evilford 12.27.12	well I don't know this to be a fact but that's what I think happened, based on order of events and trends in thrash/dm after they were released. moreso with altars, I was kind of joking about chaos AD.
Calc 12.27.12	i wish I cared about this list but its good im certain lol
Atari 12.27.12	ha calc you just have picky taste
Calc 12.27.12	its not picky i just dont like metal tis all lol.
Atari 12.27.12	i thought you were picky with pop punk too though :P hmm maybe not cause you loved blink's new EP
Sevhead 12.27.12	No single band has developed thrash post-nineties as much as Meshuggah, i.e. Destroy Erase Improve.
ManaYoodSushai 12.27.12	Vektor was mentioned above. Great shout, but I guess there not pure thrash because they have vovoid influences that are pretty prevelant
bloc 12.27.12	As long as people listen to thrash, it lives. Simple.
ManaYoodSushai 12.27.12	I guess bloc is right. If it is listened to it lives..eg. no one listens to disco anymore on a regular basis
Atari 12.27.12	thrash lives yeah but 1991 was probably the last great year for that style of music
Atari 12.27.12	well 23 is nowhere near the best album on here but it doesn't suck IMO
Hyperion1001 12.27.12	how can thrash have died when uve got bands like lich king and municipal waste?!?!??
Atari 12.27.12	not better than rust in peace lol
JamieTwort 12.27.12	12 is best.
evilford 12.27.12	12 is best. [2]
oltnabrick 04.30.13	sax - "Moravské náøez" it came out in 1993 and its better than 85% of the albums on this list
