Overkill, Testament, and Slayer.
I actually liked Ironbound a lot when it came out. Overkill have some overwhelmingly cheesy moments here and there but they can be easily forgiven. A lot of these old thrash band's modern albums are technically great and play out like decent thrash records but they're missing the raw energy that I think Overkill still taps into quite well, even if it's pretty goofy sometimes. I haven't heard anything off of Electric Age and only a bit off White Devil Armory so I might be missing some pretty harsh tunes but still, Ironbound has some mean tracks on it and I've heard Overkill still puts on wicked performances. Testament's Formation of Damnation was a ****ing blast but very formulaic, I also saw that tour and they put on a hype show (although the sound guy had a really bad night). I've seen Slayer twice since the mid 2000's and both times was fantastic, even their newer material hit pretty hard. Haven't heard their most recent tunes.
