ToSmokMuzyki 12.18.25	excuse me bitch are u saying phantom was no good?
RVAHC13 12.18.25	Worst year of the decade by far, last year was waaaaay more plentiful. Here’s some decent cuts: Combust - Belly of the Beast Doomsday - Never Known Peace Hazzerd - The 3rd Dimension Coroner - Dissonance Theory
Jmal00 12.18.25	Dissonance Theory is neither thrash nor decent but I’ll be sure to check out the rest.
Jmal00 12.18.25	Smok is that a rec or are you just jerkin?
RVAHC13 12.18.25	Tbh I don’t enjoy a lot of dissonance theory that much either but I thought I’d throw it out there
NexCeleris 12.18.25	It was an okay year for thrash. 3 is peak imo. Far from a comprehensive list of recs, but depending on what kind of thrash you’re after, you might dig these (ordered by release date, oldest to newest): Mental Devastation - The Delusional Mystery of the Self Part II (Tech Thrash) Void - Forbidden Morals (Speedy Thrash) Violator - Unholy Retribution (Thrash) Condition Critical - Degeneration Chamber (Thrash) Mortal Scepter - Ethereal Dominance (Slightly tech-y Thrash - pretty good) Sadistic Goatmessiah - Violence (Blackened Speed-Thrash) Dead Heat - Process of Elimination (Crossover) GraveRipper - From Welkin to Tundra (Blackened Thrash) Atonement - Ripping Death (Deathrash) Disarray - The Darkening (Thrash) Venus Torment - Coldness of Absence (Black-Thrash) Demiurgus - Equilibrio (Deathrash) Bezdan - Upon the Altar (Blackened Thrash) Burning Death - Burning Death (Thrash) (Also Cryptosis if that counts.)
RVAHC13 12.18.25	Omg welcome back^ just who we needed
NexCeleris 12.18.25	Forgot Tempest - Obscure Hallucinations, which came out last week and tbh is more thrashy dm than thrash, but might scratch an itch.
jrlikestodance 12.18.25	I liked the two New World Man tracks that dropped this year but I didn't really listen to much thrash
Galbador 12.18.25	Void (USA-LA) rulz
rockarollacola 12.18.25	the Dissonance Theory glazing on this site has genuinely been hard to watch New Testament is AOTY tho
RVAHC13 12.18.25	It’s a good album if you like that production/sound but that’s not necessarily what I personally want out of a Coroner album. I think a lot of that rating is based on respect from fans that they jumped back into the studio after such a long recording drought and churned out a modern-style progressive metal album. Again, not for me, but I respect their effort
Emim 12.18.25	metallica
ThyCrossAwaits 12.18.25	Doomsday - Never Known Peace
rockandmetaljunkie 12.19.25	I regret to inform you that you're slightly misguided, they've been plenty of quality thrash albums released in 2025
Zac124 12.19.25	trash metal
ToSmokMuzyki 12.19.25	phantom tyrants of wrath bthfjjtfjjcjchhjvjcj!!!
Jmal00 12.19.25	Rock and metal Junkie yeah that’s kinda the point of this list. I’m asking for recs. But you not recommending anything isn’t helping the issue at hand.
Jmal00 12.19.25	I will check all the recommendations as soon as I can. I appreciate you fine thrashers for trying your best.
mkmusic1995 12.19.25	New Warbringer as well
Demon of the Fall 12.19.25	Nex just dropping in and providing the goods. Stick around fella. We've missed you. And apologies to Jmal because I just wanted to say that. I'm seriously under-qualified and have nothing to offer.
Jmal00 12.19.25	Your presence is more than enough. No need to apologize, you have positively contributed to society today and that is all we can do in life.
DarkSideOfLucca 12.19.25	How the hell did you forget Coroner? That's my #2 album of the year man, it's been on repeat for me.
Brabiz 12.19.25	I hate modern thrash so much. While I think BM suffers from the same problem of being oversaturated with generic bands, the entirety of thrash rn is just the most cookie cutter, on rails shit ever. New Testament rules tho agreed
Jurtz 12.19.25	There's no more room for innovation in thrash metal, everything has already been done and that leads to a lot of bands that have a generic sound, because we've heard it all before.
RVAHC13 12.19.25	That might be true but you still can make a great thrash record that stands out today (see Demoniac, Dissimulator, Autonoesis) a lot of it depends on how it’s produced. Overly sterile production lends nothing to the thrash sound since it came from 80’s heavy metal/punk rock. Say what you want about the dudebro crossover stuff from the 2000’s/2010’s but at least them being influenced by 80’s bands like DRI kept them from veering into flat studio drums and hypercompressed guitars
troyofyort 12.19.25	"There's no more room for innovation in thrash metal, everything has already been done and that leads to a lot of bands that have a generic sound, because we've heard it all before." Yeah agreed; I can't imagine actually being a thrash disciple so damn limiting. I def like thrash as more a spice you can add to other genres than being the main dish, like how I would use peppers but dont necessarily wanna eat them by themselves.
Jmal00 12.19.25	Lucca- that new Coroner abomination is not thrash. It’s some weird drone groove hybrid. I am absolutely floored at the love that album has gotten but that conversation should probably be had elsewhere. Let’s stick to the thrash.
jrlikestodance 12.19.25	Imo punk influenced genres like thrash don't need to be innovative to be great. Gimme some riffs, solid production and good pits and I'm happy
Jmal00 12.19.25	I think there is definitely room to still be creative and innovative with a thrash album in 2025. You do occasionally get a standout album like last years Mayhemic and Autoneosis as mentioned by RVAHC. But a lot of bands just don’t care about being original or exceptional.
RVAHC13 12.19.25	I feel the same way about death metal, to me it’s supposed to sound a little raw and dirty. I like what bands like Worm, Tomb Mold and Voidceremony do by peeling back some of the polish and exposing that visceral sound that made early 90’s releases so special. Also yes good innovative guitar work always helps which thrash tends to lack at times
jrlikestodance 12.19.25	Great points men
DarkSideOfLucca 12.19.25	Dude, I am obsessed with Worm, Tomb Mold, Horrendous and other bands like that Never heard of Voidceremony, I just put on their newest one but lmk if I should start somewhere else, I'm very excited
brickhed 12.19.25	i was gonna mention death metal too, seems like all extreme metal needs some kind of drive to do something either great or different. for death metal i dislike the huge movement of it being super polished, even if i do like the music. sometimes it works with the sound well, sometimes it's super sterile. then the bands who do the raw style it's that shit-fi type that lacks punch. take cues from devourment or internal suffering when it comes to raw mixes is what i would do. this is coming from a mostly bdm perspective but still. some bands do that raw feel right and keep on doing that. shoutout to sulfuric cautery keeping things brutal with their new record, those goregrind guys are really onto something with the blend.
RVAHC13 12.19.25	@Lucca their new one is probably their best so that’s as good a place as any. The previous one also had some killer guitar work as well
Hawks 12.19.25	New one is their best, but whole discog rules.
Jmal00 12.19.25	I think a large issue in metal that this site does not discuss often enough is a staggering lack of riffs per song. You had bands like Artillery, Deceased… and Dark Angel that packed 30 different riffs into songs. Now bands give you 3 a song max. Production is an issue but I do not think it is the only one.
Hyperion1001 12.19.25	id rather 3 good riffs than 47 bad ones.
Hyperion1001 12.19.25	also the only one on this list i listened to was 4 and its dogshit jdawg core.
ToSmokMuzyki 12.19.25	id rather only good sht was ever created alas a gold miner i must be
Galbador 12.19.25	So give us some of the findings and not just shit
Jmal00 12.19.25	I think I’d actually rather have a song with 47 bad riffs than 3 good ones. 5 minutes of one good riff makes for boring songs. But I’d argue that riffs can be either bad or good solely on the way they are used in the song.
Hyperion1001 12.19.25	that species album is awesome. my bud did the mastering so i heard a few snippets a while ago and kinda forgot it was coming out. good thing i remembered cause its a ripper.
MetalMarcJK 12.20.25	Warfield - “With The Old Breed” — one of my fave albums of 2025. Everyone, go check it out now! “TIE THE FUCKING ROPE!” m/
zaruyache 12.20.25	"drone groove" it's groovy celtic frost yea
Madbutcher3 12.20.25	the new coroner is fine it's just bizarre to hear such glowing praise for what i think is probably the most normal sounding record for a veteran thrash band to release. slightly above average in most respects i guess besides the ones listed there was another okay paradox record but yeh bad year. think how incredibly awful the dark angel comeback was did sort of indicate it was gonna be a rubbish one
Voivod 12.20.25	Yeah, with the exception of Coroner, the yield of mainstream thrash is rather underwhelming, but the underground is solid when it's not thriving, and 2025 is no exception…
Hyperion1001 12.20.25	from what I heard, grin is significantly better than the new one. but then again grin rules so that’s not surprising.
Voivod 12.20.25	The new coroner is groove/thrash the way it was supposed to sound in the '90s, if the genre was allowed to evolve in the '90s onwards. Only the Grip Inc. albums are a match.
rockandmetaljunkie 12.21.25	"Rock and metal Junkie yeah that’s kinda the point of this list. I’m asking for recs. But you not recommending anything isn’t helping the issue at hand" Who told you that I'm here to help you out? I am helping you out by telling that there have been some quality releases this year, just google some shit and you will figure it out Jamming random shit is just part of the experience of exploring ;)
ToSmokMuzyki 12.21.25	how bout you experience exploring deez nutz hehehe
Jmal00 12.21.25	Smok absolutely destroyed this guy. Well done Bro
Spec 12.21.25	The 3rd dimension ripped.
Madbutcher3 12.22.25	i forgot but even the new doom album wasn't very good imo
Jmal00 12.23.25	Considered Doom
Butkuiss 12.23.25	Head in a jar - unbelievable violence
Jmal00 12.23.25	I’ll add that to the list my brother
ToSmokMuzyki 12.23.25	https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=523357 u lazy sack
Jmal00 12.23.25	I haven’t had the time yet my main man Smok. I must warn you tho I heard their debut like 2 years ago and was unimpressed. Hopefully they have improved.
Pooter9000 12.23.25	The Testament album is mid af lol
Jmal00 12.23.25	Compared to what?
ToSmokMuzyki 12.23.25	everything
Jmal00 12.23.25	Smok let’s leave the thrashing to the professionals and you stay over in blackville.
ToSmokMuzyki 12.23.25	wow that was racist testament has some big farts and 2025 was one of them
Hawks 12.23.25	The Testament album is mid af lol [2]
Jmal00 12.23.25	Now this is shocking to hear. As far as a thrash album goes new Testy checked all the boxes. Exceptional guitar work and a drumming performance for the ages. Charles sounded excellent. Sure it was not a flawless display from a song writing standpoint but it blew everything else out of the water.
Pooter9000 12.24.25	No it didnt lol
Madbutcher3 12.24.25	it was aight but not great
Jmal00 12.24.25	I better not find out that any of you are Dissonance Theory glazers or there’s gonna be some explaining to do.
jrlikestodance 12.24.25	That Combust album is a fun time
Jmal00 12.24.25	I agree. Probably enjoyed it a lot more than i should’ve. Gave me some Killing Time- Brightside vibes.
ToSmokMuzyki 12.24.25	dissonance theory was just as mid but more annoyingly so
Jmal00 12.24.25	Na that album ain’t mid. It was a disaster. No speed, negative riffs, no dynamics, putrid songwriting. Nothing that made Coroner elite back in 88.
Pooter9000 12.25.25	DT’s better, deal with it cucks
Jmal00 12.25.25	Better at putting me to sleep no question.
Pooter9000 12.25.25	You have objectively bad taste, that is all.
Demon of the Fall 12.25.25	may I suggest giving up & trying other genres?
RVAHC13 12.25.25	Can’t we resolve this conflict without anger?
ToSmokMuzyki 12.25.25	wut? no if there was more anger there'd be more THRASH
RVAHC13 12.25.25	https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bnrq-Tl_SFs&
Anthracks 12.25.25	I really liked the new Mortal Scepter and Hexecutor albums. And Coroner and Cryptosis
Jmal00 12.25.25	I will check those first two out and get back with you. Thanks for your help!
RVAHC13 12.25.25	Wow thank you Anthracks those both sound great
MetalMarcJK 01.02.26	Warfield - With The Old Breed Electrocutioner - Harbinger Affront - World In Collapse Vindicator - Whispers Of Death Hirax - Faster Than Death
Jmal00 01.02.26	Will check all once it warms up and festivities are finished.
Voivod 01.02.26	Thrash added in my year end lists: White Mantis, Stress Test, Destabilizer, Exul, Surgical Invasion, Exitus (CZ), Exxperior, Conspiracy (Skopje), Verdalack, Crucible (DK), Hazardous, Flames, Struck A Nerve, and Swartzheim.
Jmal00 01.02.26	Hell yeah. The list will be all encompassing at this point.
