I did (and still do) stray from Thrash a lot listening to Speed, Death and some Black Metal and back then the bands were generally more entrenched within those genres and then years later the boundaries become blurred which was inevitable. A few people have said that the new Overkill album is really good so I will have to give it a listen. I didn't think much of the new Heathen album though. It wasn't bad but it failed to grab me for some reason.

I voted Dark Angel
A couple days ago I thought, hey! I need more thrash! So I was searching the forums and I found a great sampler under the beginners guide to.... thread. Now "No One Answers" is probably my favorite song right now, it's definitely replaced caffeine in my life thats for sure. |

I know most of their discography pretty well. Start with "Killing Technology" and then listen to "Dimension Hatross" and "Nothingface" The last two their best albums imo. Be aware though, that this group is very distinct to the rest of the thrash groups on the list, and at times their sound is nearer to prog rock than to your typical thrash sound.

Recommended listening from the list, also some of these albums are not really thrash as the groups had evolved their sound:
Kreator- Extreme Agression, Coma of Souls, Cause For Conflict, Outcast Testament-The New Order, The Ritual Exodus-Bonded By Blood, Force of Habit Voivod-Killing Technology, Dimension Hatross, Nothingface Overkill-The Years of Decay, Horrorscope, The Killing Kind Sodom-Agent Orange Sepultura-Morbid Visions, Schizophrenia, Beneath the Remains, Arise, Chaos A.D, Roots Anacrusis-Manic Impressions, Screams and Whispers Destruction-The Least Successful Human Cannonball Dark Angel-We Have Arrived |

Overkill- Under The Influence is a great album Testament- How could you forget their debut The Legacy Voivod- Angel Rat is really good and they did an album with Jason Newsted a few years back called Katorz which is well worth a listen. Sodom- Persecution Mania is a little more rough around the edges with a less than stellar production but still a good listen. Anacrusis- Suffering Hour which was their debut still has a certain charm to it. Destruction- Eternal Devastation is usually held up as their sound. Dark Angel- Darkness Descends for me Although it's not entirely in keeping with the thread, other bands worth checking out are : Kublai Khan Napalm Mekong Delta Flotsam and Jetsam (Jason Newsted's first band) Artillery D.B.C Sabbat who all made albums that were not the usual Thrash sound and branched out a little more. Special mention to Blind Illusions Sane Asylum that gave us both Possessed and Primus in later years and was probably the longest gestating Thrash album out there.
