Agreed. I would still take Slayer 100 times over 99% of the Thrash Metal revival bands.

Thrash died on it's ass in the early 90's and nothing since has made me change my mind.

The only bands that use a Thrash asthetic and still retain my interest are Hacride and Gojira but they are more progressive whilst still using traditional Thrash riffs.

Sodom and Kreator still churn out albums that piss all over most new bands from a great height and they have been active since the 80's.

I really would love to hear a new band playing Thrash that can excite me but thus far it hasn't happened.

Thrash needs to stay dead. After awhile it sounds like the same song over and over and over again.

I appreciate thrash metal influences but I am not really a fan of the genre. Metallica and Testament are good but the vocals for most of those other bands kill it for me. I probably would have really liked Megadeth if they had a different lead singer and just left Dave Mustaine on the guitar.

Just out of curiosity, what would you recommend instead (other than metallica or testament)? For some reason this genre is less accessible to me than even black metal. I almost feel obligated to like it with all the diehards running around but the genre just seems so limiting to me. Most of the thrash metal fans I've seen just bash every other genre in existence. I can't even get on the Mayhem Festival website or facebook page anymore because all the Megadeth fans just whine about not headlining and how "unmetal" it is.

Sepultura and Megadeth (even though you do not like his vocals.)
Flotsam and Jetsam's first album.
Sacred Reich.

You may just not like Thrash. You may not be used to some of the aesthetics it uses, you may be bringing criteria you used to judge other genres to bear against Thrash. Really, it's quite foolish to dislike a band just because of a singular element of their musicianship.

Really, Slayer are the penultimate Thrash band. Their work has aged minimally. Listen to Seasons in the Abyss & Reign in Blood. Two sides of the same great band, and both are classic, immortal albums.

I hate being presumptive but I think you mean 'quintessential' or maybe just plain 'ultimate'?
If so, I agree.

Sepultura isn't really indicative of thrash in my opinion. The early stuff sure, but Chaos A.D. had a heavy groove approach followed up by Roots which ventured into the realm of world music.
