i would like some recommendations....i love thrash, i like old Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Overkill...but i dont know of very many thrash bands, if you could, name a few bands and their best albums....i really appreciate it!
Coroner - "Mental Vortex" (but all of them will do ) Testament: "The New Order" and "Low" Heathen - "Breaking The Silence" Hallows Eve - "Death & Insanity" Pariah - "Blaze Of Obscurity" Skyclad - "Wayward Sons Of Mother Earth" Anacrusis - "Screams & Whispers" Imperium - "Too Short A Season" Horcas - "Oid Mortales El Grito Sangrado" Angel Dust - 'Into the Dark Past' Death Angel - "The Art Of Dying" Flotsam And Jetsam - "Doomsday For The Deceiver" Kreator - "Endorama" Meliah Rage - "Barely Human" Suicidal Tendencies - "How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today"
Just a few: Forbidden - Twisted into Form Annihilator - Alice in Hell Kreator - Coma of Souls Nuclear Assault - Game Over & The Plague Overkill - Horrorscope Violence - Eternal Nightmare Voivod - Dimension Hatross Sodom - Agent Orange The Haunted - The Haunted Made Me Do It
Its not exactly Thrash but it does have the same kind of energy. At least it does to me. Try out Children of Bodom. Its fast, melodic and raw! And.... it has keyboards I will get back on you one the "Old School" thrash bands.
Coroner definitely are/were one of the best thrash metal bands around, yet I´d say their first three albums "R.I.P.", "Punishment For Decadence" and "No More Color" are much more thrash metal than "Mental Vortex"! A very good album, but to call it thrash metal is quite misleading IMO. As for thrash metal, their debut "Suffering Hour" is definitely the best choice. Songs like "Present Tense", "R.O.T." and "Twisted Cross" are thrash metal par excellence. Some further recommendations: Mekong Delta - "Mekong Delta", "The Music Of Erich Zann", "Dances Of Death" Voivod - "Killing Technology" Détente - "Recognize No Authority" Testament - "The Legacy", "Live At Eindhoven" Forbidden - "Forbidden Evil", "Raw Evil - Live At The Dynamo" Znowhite - "Act Of God" Hexenhaus - "A Tribute To Insanity" Original Sin - "Sin Will Find You Out" And if you want to try something more technical/complex (not exactly "classical" thrash): Sieges Even - "Life Cycle" Watchtower - "Control And Resistance" Toxik - "Think This"

Crap, basically everything you need was listed. I'll just add: Toxik - World Circus Toxik - Think This
Ok, either I'm blind or did none of you posted Celtic Frost? Get Celtic Frost - Morbid Tales and To Mega Therion And what Dodens Grav said: Get that SABBAT album!!
Dunno points of view, I can question those CF albums as a true thrash the same way Burkhard questioned my posts of Anacrusis and Coroner. I guess a lot of thrash is in the ear of the beholder, same way than the border between speed/thrash is. Oh and I believe I missed Anthrax - 'State of Euphoria' from my list.
Don't remind me I agree that stick with whatever you learned first works. I'm still getting crazy with so much revisionism. I used to call Metal Church thrash, but everybody today call it power metal. First time I heard S.O.D a friend told me that was speed metal, today is suppose to be old hardcore. The sticker in my "Keeper of The Seven Keys -pt.2" LP called Helloween progressive metal. So Celtic Frost is indeed more thrash than anything, but also IMO is one of the forerunners of real black along with Bathory and Venom. And with all the cores and mutations is getting worse. Hey I have seen Black Sabbath labeled as doom metal :Smug:
I dig older Testament. "Practic What You Preach" is pretty good. Powermad "Absolute Power" Speed/thrash metal with a high range vocalist Wrathchild America - "Climbing The Walls" Anthemic thrash cool riffing Flotsum and Jetsum - "Doomsday for the Deceiver" Coroner - "Mental Vortex" Awesome 3 man outfit Forbidden - "Twist Into Form" killer fairly technical threash Metal Church - "Blessing in Disguise" power metal band, but their heaviest release. Close enough to call thrash and is a true masterpiece with no weak songs. Bryant
I hear ya Wyvern...I hear ya.... But SOD...is kinda difficult to label, it's fucking everything in the same time
Death Angel - The Ultra-Violence Exciter - Violence & Force Kreator - Endless Pain Mortal Sin - Mayhemic Destruction Sodom - Obsessed By Cruelty Vio-Lence - Eternal Nightmare
