Place to post and discuss THRASH METAL!
RULES (MUST READ):
Benediction - Beyond the Veil (of the Gray Mare)
Hailing from the UK, these dudes usually play death metal, and have historically done so since 89. But I made this my pick for today simply cuz this is straight up a death/thrash track. A bit formulaic and predictable but I don't find myself skipping it when it comes around on shuffle. Solid track imo.
Lååz Rockit - Mob Justice
Classic Bay Area thrash, like a mix between Anthrax and Metal Church. Great guitar sound and decently written.
Znowhite - Run Like the Wind
As mentioned, @[email protected] xD. Old-school speed metal, thought I continue the trend haha.
Krokus - Headhunter
Swiss old guard in the heavy metal/hard rock sector of music, once again another explosive album opener in practiced SPEED METAL fashion. Reminds me a bit of Judas Priest's Exciter from Stained Class, especially with the double bass intro.

Exhorder - Slaughter in the Vatican
Apologies for the absence been really busy recently. Anyways, this seems more than relevant. Thrash/groove which directly inspired Pantera.
Accept - Fast as a Shark
Legendary 80's Teutonic heavy metal band opened their 4th album (arguably their greatest) with a speed metal track, as many often do, to get the adrenaline flowing. Another fucking classic.

Exodus - Scar Spangled Banner
Sneaky second upload today, and a nod to our community's overlord Serp! Figure this is a fantastic representation of today's bullshit - exhausting and soon to be bloodied. On behalf of the Americans that see reason, I apologize to the rest of the free world.
Anyway this track and album tear up some ass so enjoy!

Flotsam and Jetsam - No Place For Disgrace
Opener to their second album, arguably superior to their first, this track comes out swinging, only to relent in the passage before the solo. Fantastic thrash metal with hints of power metal that don't drag it down - I wish they kept this quality throughout their career.

Gwar - Lot Lizard
Havent really paid any attention to newer Gwar since the vocalist passed, but this happened to pop up in my daily recommends and I made it my pick here today. This particular track is some crossover thrash with lots of unserious punk attitude lol. I'll have to check out the rest of this EP when it drops later on if this song is any indication of the quality.
Black Breath - Sentenced to Life
Death metal, crossover thrash, and crust punk all come together to create this healthy dose of aggression. Reminds me a ton of Entombed mixed with shitloads of D-beats lol - great moshin shit.
Ghoul - Gutbucket Blues
Some more Ghoul for ya! Short but sweet, wish it stuck around for a minute or two longer!
SARCATOR - Swarming Angels & Flies (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Cavalera Conspiracy - Escape to the Void (Re-Recorded)
A Sepultura classic that's been rerecorded with the Cavalera bros. Love this era of death/thrash and a lot of the music has been respected with this final modern release of their "Third World Trilogy" rerecordings. Voice has a crazy reverb on it, but that's literally my only gripe that I got over pretty quickly lol.
Venom - Dark Night (of the Soul)
From Venom's latest album. Sounds quite different from their early stuff.
Testament - The New Order
I am back, and with my return I bring classic Bay Area thrash!

Vio-Lence - Bodies on Bodies
Just one of the many great examples of Vio-Lence. Hoping to see them live at some point. I have to admit I feel a little stupid... I thought Lich King's cover of this song was an original song, until I heard this today for the first time (heard the first half of Eternal Nightmare a long, long time ago, forgot I never finished the album 😅). Had a bit of a shock when I saw I hadn't finished the album, and another when I saw the title in the tracklist xD.
Nifelheim - Storm of Satans Fire
Swedish blackened thrash. Surprised to find I haven't posted this band yet. Very aggressive, doesn't let up. Enjoy!
Death Angel - Alive and Screaming
From Death Angel's latest LP. Death Angel, in my opinion, has always had a more melodic feel to their songs, especially in later albums.
Ghoul - Ghetto Blasters
Hella chunky tone, and super groovy. Actual song starts at 1:08.
