Title: Good thrash metal. Post by: Lord Nepenthean on November 27, 2004, 11:12:26 PM I've been on a constant quest for good thrash/speed metal for a long, long time now. EARLY Metallica, particularly Kill 'Em All, is the kind of stuff I'm talking about. Exodus is good, Mercyful Fate okay. There are about two good songs by Blitzkrieg, but honestly most of their stuff sucks (and is impossible to find here anyway).
Finally while looking around on Napster I have found some stuff. Knowing that Jason Newsted was in Flotsam and Jetsam before he joined Metallica, I have wanted to listen to their stuff for a long time. I got to today and it is great stuff. It's not on par with the brilliance of Kill Em All, but it's very very good if you like that kind of metal. Since there's a lack of it, I was glad to find out that they are indeed good. I also listened to an album by a band I had never heard of that was great: Overkill. The album I listened to was "The Years of Decay." Any album that has thrash metal tracks called "Skullcrusher" is automatically awesome. I plan on listening to a lot more of their stuff since this was a great piece of work. Anybody have any other suggestions? Or am I the only one who loves 80's thrash metal? Title: Re: Good thrash metal. Post by: Arrrhalomynn on November 28, 2004, 03:13:40 AM All you need is Slayer. Reign in blood is one of the best albums ever. It puts anything metallica has made to shame. And as opposed to Metallica they still make good music today. God hates us all is a very good album overall as well.

Anthrax had a humorous side to them and did a few goofy songs and also dabbled in wrap doing a pretty cool cover of Bring the Noise. Some songs to check out are Indians, Among the Living and I am the Law.
Attack of the Killer B's will give you a good sampling of their stuff. Title: Re: Good thrash metal. Post by: Tynstar on November 28, 2004, 04:57:02 PM I was going to say Slayer and Anthrax. Also early Megadeth and maybe some DRI.

Sorry i really have nothing to offer. Slayer and Anthrax kick ass though. Title: Re: Good thrash metal. Post by: Sauza12 on December 27, 2004, 12:21:58 PM That is a pretty cool site. Just for fun I was looking for the most offensive lyrics I could find and God damn if thier wasn't some disturbing shit.
Title: Re: Good thrash metal. Post by: Zimbacca on December 27, 2004, 07:31:45 PM If you want disturbing, go with GWAR. They aren't thrash but they do have some disturbing lyrics.
