It's not unusual to see Sepultura's early work classified as Death Metal, and I for one favor that argument. Morbid Visions, Schizophrenia sound like early extreme metal to these ears. However, I am dismissive of their work from Chaos AD on - that stuff is just boring.
Anyways, regarding Thrash revival, how about Vomitor? They've some definite black metal influence, but I think they're still solidly Thrash. Not intellectual by any means, but fun.
