Three bands are really just indicative of the thrash movement: Slayer for heaviness and agression, Megadeth for their speed and precision and Metallica for their musical ability and evolution of the genre. Most of the other thrash metal bands Kreator, Exodus and Testament etc more or less fitted in with what the big 3 were doing. If you wanted thrash with a real difference, then you had bands like Voivod and Anacrusis, who provided a whole progressive element to the genre and produced a highly original sound. I`ve yet to hear a modern day thrash band, that matches the quality of any of the groups mentioned above. |

LOLPOCALYPSE, I got into thrash after I had got into grindcore and black and death.... however my appreciation of thrash has seemingly increased as I found myself discovering the NWOBHM bands that preceded & influenced thrash and those bands at the twilight of the thrash era that were experimenting a bit more.
My advice would be to look beyond the big 4 when it comes to thrash. There are many great bands that are somewhat thrash (Cryptic Slaughter, for instance) and others that came along at the tail end (Gammacide) that are a bit easier to handle because they didn't limit themselves to the strict confines of Thrash.

You basically contradticted yourself with that statement. Chaos A.D is a THRASH/Groove album. They are one of the best metal bands that has ever existed and put out two of the best thrash metal albums that have ever been recorded.

Once he left they went to ****. The only thing that kept them from flat out sucking was Igor and once he left well they band should change their name instead of tarnishing it more.

I didn`t really like the first two Soulfly albums with their mish mash of world music mixed with NU-Metal, but I love "3" "Prophecy" and "Dark Ages". These 3 albums are probably how Sepultura would`ve sounded had Max stayed with them, due to their mixing of world music and the brutal Sepultura sound. |

Yea I agree. The first Soulfly album was good imo but their last 3 are by far their best.

I've search and haven't seen these guys get mentioned so I'll just say that Vektor, Mutant, and Fog of War are the best new Thrash Metal bands out there today. Warbringer, Municipal Waste, Fueled By Fire, and Skeletonwitch are great as well.
