Glad to see someone mentioned Kreator. The first two Kreator albums are pretty much thrash metal perfection.

Spoiler - 4-30-2007 at 08:00 AM

yep,Kreator is badass....and their new stuff is as good as the old in my opinion.

DAK - 4-30-2007 at 09:36 AM

All the above.

JawnDiablo - 4-30-2007 at 11:13 AM

I remember Sacrifice. They were cool.

anyone remember Exhorder?
They were the shit.
they were from down south somewhere.

upyerbum - 4-30-2007 at 11:26 AM

Check out The 3-Tards, one of the guys from Sacrifice is in the band.
Doesn't sound anything like Sacrifice though.

JUICE MAYNE MSHC - 4-30-2007 at 12:41 PM

yeah man definetley......

JawnDiablo - 4-30-2007 at 12:53 PM

Sadus were fast as shit.
The bass player Steve something played a fretless and was on the Human record for Death. dude was amazing.

BKT - 4-30-2007 at 02:15 PM

Death hell ya. How could we leave that out of the mix. Although I guess they were more death metal than thrash, or maybe not. That album Human was so good.

Am I crazy for never really being into Pantera all that much. I don't mind a song here and there, but other than that I never really dug them much. I do however realize what they are to metal in the grand sceme of things.

MM.

stateofdisgrace - 4-30-2007 at 02:20 PM

HELL YEAH! CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER....

Money talks and people listen,
To get ahead and get some more,
That's what our countries built upon......

BKT - 4-30-2007 at 02:25 PM

. . . and everything it stands for.

nice!!!

MM.

JawnDiablo - 4-30-2007 at 02:32 PM

cryptic slaughter were cool too.
i never dug more than a couple pantera songs.
just never liked phil's gay attitude.
death was top notch.
human and spiritual healing. are excellent.

3-Tards are funny. I've seen them a bunch of times.

DaveMoral - 4-30-2007 at 06:33 PM

Destruction

DAK - 4-30-2007 at 08:02 PM

Exhorder were great. I saw them pay a couple times in Houston. Another good thrash band from Texas was Devastation. And Angkor Wat, dead horse, Rigor Mortis, Gammacide, and Rotting Corpse.

yeah,I remember jamming to Atrophy.
Anacrusis
Infernal Majasty
Fates Warning
Sanctuary
Death Angel (they had at least 1 good album)

JawnDiablo - 4-30-2007 at 10:32 PM

Anacrusis...I didn't think I'd hear them mentioned! they were pretty cool and progressive.
I knew I'd see Dead Horse pop up eventually.

Fuck yeah! Human and Individual thought patterns are both so freakin amazing! Steve digorgio (sp?) on the fretless five string bass does things on those albums that made my acid trips that much more interesting.

Oh yeah, let's not forget Obituary

RIP Chuck S

panzerkreuzer - 5-1-2007 at 11:04 AM

what about dark angel? darkness descent is an absolute burner!

btw the first 2 sadus albums were the fastest shit you could get. love them both.

JawnDiablo - 5-1-2007 at 12:02 PM

dark angel leave scars was a schredder too.
i had that one sadus tape chemical exposure. that thing was fast as hell
i read somewhere that James Murphy, who played guitar on death, obituary, and disincarnate had some cancer or some shit too. he was amazing.

panzerkreuzer - 5-1-2007 at 02:24 PM

i think kames has recovered and is playing again. what he did on obituary?s cause of death album was great. still my favorite death metal lp.

JawnDiablo - 5-1-2007 at 02:35 PM

cause of death is timeless....

MikeFromInhuman - 5-1-2007 at 03:41 PM

SLAYER
VIO-LENCE
ANTHRAX
NUCLEAR ASSAULT
OVER-KILL
KREATOR

My faves right there.

Monkey_Julius_BoWaffle - 5-1-2007 at 06:20 PM

Carnivore
Blessed Death
Black Death (all black dudes, they RULED)
Heathen (I have a demo they did with Paul Baloff - AWESOME)
early Overkill
Crumbsuckers
Voivod
Whiplash
Holy Terror
Agent Steel
Coroner
Sodom
1st Nocturnus album "The Key"

...and SO damn many more. That was probably the most exciting era in music for me EVER. I used to buy all the rags back in the 80's that I could find (Power Metal, Thrash Metal, Speed Metal, Aardshock - lots were offshoots of other mags) and I would seek out and buy any and all releases I could find. Funny thing was, back in those days, I would buy album after album of bands I had never heard a note of music from and almost always ended up liking the album. Not so easy to do that these days.

Funny story about Cryptic Slaughter - I had Convicted and Money Talks and I remember when I first bought "Stream of Consciousness" I thought I had purchased a defective copy somehow as the sound quality was so damn bad. I eventually got used to it and fell in love with it though.

Also, Steve DiGiorgo from Sadus plays with Sebastian Bach nowadays (I think Sadus are still kicking too, they put out a new album a couple years back but I never checked it out).

Damn, I could go on and on and on in this thread! Great thread!

tireironsaint - 5-1-2007 at 06:42 PM

For a while I listened to nothing but Thrash, but obviously my idea of Thrash was not at all like what most of you guys are talking about. I think the only ones mentioned so far that fit the definition I knew it as are DRI, COC, Septic Death, and there might have been another one named that I'm forgetting now. I'm not trying to start another one of those arguments over categorizations, I just have always found it odd that there are occasionally two very different interpretations of certain genres.

JawnDiablo - 5-1-2007 at 08:08 PM

haha i'm not alone in this then!
i've been trying to download all the old thrash stuff i have on vinyl and cassette.

Spoiler - 5-1-2007 at 08:27 PM

I've never considered COC a thrash metal band

I don't consider them Thrash Metal, but back in the day we always called them a Thrash band. Honestly, I see two different things there, Thrash, which was always closer to crossover type old school HC and Thrash Metal, which seems to be what most people here are talking about. It was always the same for me with Grind Core, I saw that as stuff like Extreme Noise Terror and that kind of almost crusty HC and then I saw all these Metal Heads referring to a bunch of Metal stuff as Grind.

DaveMoral - 5-2-2007 at 12:36 AM

Extreme Noise Terror is definitely more along the lines of "crust core" type shit like Assuck and what not. Love the shit out of that band I do.

It's funny to have all those categorizations too, because honestly I can't really see the fine line that seperates crust, grind and death most of the time.

Let alone thrash, and thrash metal. AF was thrash, Metallica thrash metal... but it sounds so much alike at times. Thrash metal is like non-sense lyrics and solos I guess, where as thrash was like more punk rock. Stylistically though, it's not all that different.

panzerkreuzer - 5-2-2007 at 02:04 AM

concerning Extreme noise terror you should check out their new songs on their split with driller killer, they sound like in the early days, no metal anymore, just power!

JawnDiablo - 5-2-2007 at 09:01 AM

COC eas a hardcore band back in the day on stuff like eye for an eye.
Blind was thrashy / progressive.
i liked them guys.
saw them with rollins in 92.

gavin - 5-2-2007 at 09:13 AM

JawnDiablo - 5-2-2007 at 09:32 AM

yes.
venom from 80-85 were awesome.
I read Possessed were all 15-17 years old when seven churches was recorded.

BKT - 5-2-2007 at 12:32 PM

Ya Possessed recorded Seven Churches when they were in high school. LOL. Amazing when you think about it.

Early Venom was really good as well. That song Seven Gates of Hell was killer.

MM.

Discipline - 5-2-2007 at 12:53 PM

I love me some Venom. I still wear my Black Metal shirt regularly.

JawnDiablo - 5-2-2007 at 12:59 PM

i have one of them too....
