Best Thrash Band Right Now
 

So, we've heard your opinions on the big four and all the rest, but what about right at this moment, who is the best thrash band going right now? Old or new. I have to go with Exodus hands down. Their sound defines modern thrash right now, and manages to stay utterly true to thrash while not sounding in the least bit dated.

If I've left anyone out, mention them and I'll put them on the poll.

I went with Evile. Their first album may have been Slayer-lite, but their second was one of the best and freshest sounding thrash albums I've heard in a long time.

I know I'm probably alone in considering them thrash, but as far as current bands go, I'd nominate High on Fire. I mean, stoner band my ass, this shit is thrash:

My favourite band is Metallica, but I went with Testament. They haven't sold out and have stayed truly thrash.

Janszoon I think you and I were meant to share in something deep and meaningful in life, like going to see those guys and coming out with blown ear drums, or decayed teeth.

One of their title tracks' Snakes for the Divine is some of the best thrash I've heard and seen for that matter, and they give you 8 minutes of the stuff.

Heh. I think you may be right! :)

I had an opportunity to see them about this time last year and am still bummed I wasn't able to go.

Stoner thrash is probably the best label for High on Fire.

Another band who play super fast are Kylesa who are a sludge metal band, but they`re certainly the fastest sludge band I`ve ever heard!

I just realized that I have absolutely no idea how to edit the poll. Smooth move Exlax. And I'm currently listening to the new Hallows Eve record, The Neverending Sleep. ****ing awesome. Old school to the bone.

You can't. I can edit it for you if you'd like though. Just let me know what you'd like changed.
