Saw the last live concert in Portugal. Angel of death and raining blood just a huge f* mosh pit that I manage to end the concert holding the stage bars
How did you not pick Vektor for 2016? Terminal Redux has to be the most important thrash record in the 21st century, by actually re-innovating the genre. Warbringer's last 2 albums have also been some of the best new thrash albums, throwing in some heavy metal, black metal, and even a little "prog" (akin to ...Justice), rather than just going standard / cross-over like Power Trip, Toxic Holocaust, Iron Reagan, Municipal Waste etc.
I am SO stoked for their follow-up to that crushing EP! They, Rapture (Greece) and Inculter (Norway) are probably the 3 coolest new death/thrash bands!
Thrash metal never totally disappeared, there were some underground acts in Northern Europe that were keeping the old style alive, and by 1997-1999 you get the first signs of a revival with Sweden’s Cranium playing vintage 80s speed/thrash and taunting the declining Grunge scene. Even though it might not be selling as well now as it did in the late 80s, I’d argue that musically speaking, the thrash scene is stronger than ever.
Yep, also some Black/Thrash bands took over the late 90's: Aura Noir, Nifelheim, Desaster, Destroyer 666, Bewitched, Gehennah, Absu, Sabbat, Abigail, Nocturnal Breed, Usurper, Witchery, etc
@@alejandrocruzmontano7053 Indeed, I've only just recently started checking out the black/thrash bands that came out of the 90s, Desaster and Aura Noir are really good and I plan on sampling more by these bands soon.
Look folks , the Scandinavian / Canadian / European bands in the last 30 years have really kept Thrash Metal alive the most . This list is missing a ton of influental Thrash Metal bands from 1981 to now like : Raven Venom Savage Sword The Sword Savatage Parasite Razor Anvil Vio-lence Ministry Metal Church Death Striker Air Raid Tonic Breed SpitFire Viper Rammstein Armored Saint Pantera Channel Zero Firewind Heathen Exhorder Suicidal Tendencies Hell Yeah Damage Plan MudVayne Iced Earth
You guys never heard LOVEBITES? The goddesses from JAPAN are kicking ass in the metal world! Check out these songs: "Set The World On Fire", "Break The Wall", "Thunder Vengeance", "Hammer Of Wrath"... just to name a few!
A lot of the newer Thrash Metal bands have more extreme Metal vocals I miss the traditional Thrash Metal vocals that copied Bon Scott, Joey Belladonna and James Hetfield now it's all grawl this shriek that.
*What is your favourite Thrash Metal band?* By the way, here are a couple of interviews I talked about in the episode - th-cam.com/play/PLecTrtBzqwBiq_lcdcInFUg9kn_qKWeFC.html
Greatest of all time is probably 1989-1991 Sepultura. Vio-Lence (1988-1990) is close, in terms of pure, raw thrash riffage, energy and ferocious live shows. But Kreator is the GOAT across the entire career (particularly 1985-1990 & 2005-today). Great live shows and albums, even after the members hit 40 years of age (tell that to the big 4).
For Fan of Power Trip... Thrash And Hardcore vibes... Listen To Enforced, High Command, Vulgar Display, Lowest Créature, Red Death, Sacred Fire, Time Walk, Asidhara and Drain ! ...
Dude, still love your vids, and they help introduce more bands to me (gonna check out Nuclear Assault now), but I think you need to cut down on the cuts to quotes from movies, etc, as it gets a bit tiresome hearing the "exactly" line from Spinal Tap, and others, with pretty much every video you release.
Soulfly is not thrash metal, at least i TRASH metal. Where are Suicidal Angels? They are the best thrash metal band from Greece ever and "Bloodbath" was a masterpiece.
I love Voivod, but was quite surprised to see the song from 1991. In early 90s, Voivod drifted away from Thrash and did some (in my opinion great) prog rock/prog metal albums. Also, Vektor is great, 2009’s Black Future or 2011’s Outer Isolation should be included on this Thrash list imho. But thanks for including Megadeth, Slayer, Testament, Haunted, Annihilator, Metallica, Overkill (even if I would have chosen either Years of Decay 1989 or Ironbound 2010 instead of the groovier stuff of mid 90s) and Voivod has its thrash roots as well, so it is one hell of a list!
My dream is to make a Thrash Metal/Speed Metal band with a few Groove and Prog elements here and there but not much. Inspired by the sound of the classics that I love, albums like Kill Em All, Painkiller, Peace Sells, and even some Cowboys from Hell songs. But with less growly vocals I want someone like Sebastian Bach from Skid Row - Slave to the Grind But I also want to add more technical elements from bands like Racer X, with all that fast alternate picking shredding. Adrenaline up our butts. I want to bring back that raw 80s Metal sound And hopefully become somewhat successful lol I can dream. I’m a tired of the Djent and Death Metal sound
I like technical and progressive thrash like vektor, voivod, artillery, coroner but at the same time I believe adding to many prog elements to thrash, takes away its essence. But the same can be said maybe to a lesser degree about marrying it to death and black metal.
Rock in general, AND thrash in particular since the 90's, has been "dying" (according to mainstream BS) since the 60's, but stubbornly refuses to die. The mainstream hates empowering expressions of art, snd promotes emasculating, bland, formless crap.
@@spiritinblack370 Метла просто раскрученная. В неё вливали кучу бабла. И пока они все бухали до усрачки, кое-кто писал им музыку, тексты. А когда у настоящего автора песен начались проблемы со здоровьем, Метла "замолчала" на 5 лет. Собственно это и можно считать закатом группы не написавшей ни одной песни. И кстати, послушайте Diamond Head первый альбом 80-го года. Многие риффы Метлы содраны именно оттуда.
I was huge into thrash metal in the 80s, but of all the genres(well not all of the, because I don't like all of them) thrash is the genre I get bored of the most. The problem with thrash metal is that it's too limited, mostly by the fans. It's like there are these perimeters thrown about around the genre that if you go outside of you're no longer thrash and you're despised for it. The moment a band does an album that isn't as thrashy as the one before fans get all upset about how they aren't thrash any more. It's so fucking tiring listening to fans say "at least Overkill, Testament, etc., stayed thrash.", or go on about the big 4. I only listen to earlier thrash out of nostalgia, but I get bored so quick, except I listened to Nuclear Assault today and they still kicks ass. But I still go back to my old death metal, grindcore, doom metal albums, black metal and traditional metal albums and I'm never bored of them. I consider Death Metal and black metal kind of limited vocally, but not musically. You can do so much with the music of death metal, and black metal and it's still death metal.
I don’t think it died because you had crossover thrash bands in the early 90’s like DRI, Suicidal Tendencies and SOD, and you had bands like Pantera and Sepultura who helped push the genre forward and reinvented it
Yep I miss pure Thrash with traditional Mustaine, Belladonna and Hetfield style vocals and raw production. I've been trying to start a Thrash Metal band but there are too many posers at my school who are scared of Thrash Metal so I'm looking to move to Florida to start my band Prometheus up.
...Thrash and heavy metal are worlds apart. I'm not a big fan of thrash metal, but in no way am I criticizing it. To me, thrash metal was invented for groups to start on. When you first pick up a guitar, you go out there and you can play thrash metal. That's a great thing. But it seems to me that thrash metal bands suddenly develop the need to become more sophisticated, and at that point, they stop being thrash metal and become, I suppose, a little more mature in their playing. There are a lot of heavy metal bands around today, but unfortunately, to me, a lot of them tend to sound the same, a replica of a California band or a replica of Scorpions. It's very important that a band has its own character." - Glenn Tipton, Guitar For The Practicing Musician, January 1989
I can agree with Glenn to a point, but there were some thrash metal bands that could play exceptionally well and still remained thrash eg. Coroner, Forced Entry, Testament. It really depended on the band and what they were hoping to accomplish with their music. having said that to me thrash can be one of the most boring genres because it feels limited in what you're allowed to do as a band. When I want to mellow out thrash isn't mellow enough and when I want something extreme thrash isn't extreme enough. it just sits there in the middle and I rarely listen to it except for out of nostalgia.
Thrash metal is probably one of the old subgenres that live the best. Some bands, like Kreator and Death Angel is probably bigger now than in the 80s. The old bands are still releasing records and touring. There are quite a lot of newer and relatively successful bands.
I don't think thrash is dead, but it's definitely not in your face like it was in the 80's. It succumbed to the same fate as did heavy metal / hard rock in general -- changing tastes in popular culture and the advent of Seattle's grunge rock scene. There's lots of up-and-coming thrash bands out there, but I don't think they'll reach the lofty heights that Metallica reached.
Thrash metal may be not really dead but all the best have already been played and recorded 35-30 years ago. You never got and will never get any better .since.
Ask Deadly Mosh and other buddies from Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia (actual Croserbih metal scene) + Indonesia, Belgium, Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Turkey, Philippines, Greece, Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Romania, Hungary......Polinesia, Oceania....😳
Metal in all its genres is not dead. it has never been.it shrank in many aspects. And the main aspect of all: the movement is different in every single country.
Unfortunately it seems you are missing out on LOVEBITES, one of the best and most versatile bands around. They do play Thrash too. Check out songs like Set The World On Fire, Thunder Vengeance..
“Thrash” was a media created term that was being put up vs “Speed Metal” as far as how to label the burgeoning new movement of metal back in the early -mid 80’s. Black Metal and Death were just lurking in the shadows at the time - still awaiting their further genesis in the later 80’s and 90’s. Thrash vs Speed was more a battle of names and formats - like VHS vs Beta back in the video tape wars. And Thrash just won out as it had more power than Speed or Progressive Metal. But what happened by the 90’s was the coming of Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, and many others who never submitted to the altar of Thrash and wanted more extreme music as well and Death Metal would eventually become, As I personally see it, as the new Thrash (flag wavers of the Metal flag of war). Or just plain Metal as it is commonly played and popular;y known among the contemporary youth and fans.
I actually never ever considered them Thrash Metal as well, yet wanted to make sure to include them here since most people actually consider them Thrash Metal (or at least partially Thrash Metal). I guess this was my (failed?) attempt to be fair haha
They are not thrash, but is Max from Sepultura, even so they are not thrash, but they have a good song and is this one: th-cam.com/video/sEolhPCh-Jw/w-d-xo.html
Sepultura was thrash metal on the cusp of death metal. Soulfly was some kind of mix of thrash metal with Brazilian tribal music. So not pure thrash in either case. But maybe close enough.
Pantera are The Godfathers of groove metal which is heavy influenced by thrash but still is a genre of its own. Pantera is not a classical thrash band, they overlap genres, that’s why they’re not included here.
In a way it is sad that the biggest, most famous heavy & thrash metal bands in 2020s are STILL from the 70s or 80s. Metallica, Maiden, Priest, Megadeth, Sabbath and Slayer (though they have both retired now, I guess?). But that is not the fault of new bands, there are lots of interesting post 2000 bands out there like Vektor, Obscura, Gorod, Spirit Adrift… the problem is, while these are great bands and they do something different and don’t just copy the style of their predecessors, they are so specialized that only small segments of metal community are interested in them. Despite the high quality, there are so many different great bands that hardly any metal fans have time to concentrate on all of them so we simply choose our own favorites and the bands don’t grow as big as before. So, no, metal is not dead, but it is underground. Personally, I think that is good, metal is not supposed to be mainstream, I like the fact that it has attitude and edge and it is not for everyone😏🤘🏻
Thrash Metal never grew old! It will always sound fresh, speedy and brutal!
Totally agree: thrash is still alive... so many new Bands around, and the veterans still going strong...although I miss Slayer....

Annihilator - King of the Kill was 1994, not 1995!
Edit: Needs more Suicidal Angels
That's true. I always had only the version which came out in 1995 and I guess that's why included it in that year. Thanks for the note though ;)
New Exodus proves that thrash still lives.
Two last albums are bullshit.
Witchery is a criminally underrated band. It's a perfect blend of thrash, black and death metal with a large pinch of Judas Priest.
i thought it was boring, well i'll check again
None of these genres truly "die". Their respective Golden Ages may be gone, but they stick around as long as people like them.

Pantera is not a classical thrash band, they overlap genres, that’s why they’re not included here.
Missed Skeletonwitch, but great job.
Skeletonwitch is super but thanks god not pure thrash. Great mix of mdm,black,thrash and heavy.
In a way it is sad that the biggest, most famous heavy & thrash metal bands in 2020s are STILL from the 70s or 80s. Metallica, Maiden, Priest, Megadeth, Sabbath and Slayer (though they have both retired now, I guess?). But that is not the fault of new bands, there are lots of interesting post 2000 bands out there like Vektor, Obscura, Gorod, Spirit Adrift… the problem is, while these are great bands and they do something different and don’t just copy the style of their predecessors, they are so specialized that only small segments of metal community are interested in them. Despite the high quality, there are so many different great bands that hardly any metal fans have time to concentrate on all of them so we simply choose our own favorites and the bands don’t grow as big as before. So, no, metal is not dead, but it is underground. Personally, I think that is good, metal is not supposed to be mainstream, I like the fact that it has attitude and edge and it is not for everyone😏🤘🏻
Enforced and Cryptosis made good thrash metal albums this year! Love the thrash metal influences in Orbit Culture - 'Open Eye' and 'A Sailor's Tale'
Metal will never die so no worries
Very good list !!!
Cool to see Mortification on this list, but I always felt they were more of a grindcore band than a thrash band
No way! There's a bunch of kick-ass new school thrash bands out there, especially from Germany. Check out Space Chaser and Ravager.
Thrash will NEVER die🤘🤘🤘
I was so miserable musically in the 90's
Some may call this Death Metal
I'll never know why it's called Death Metal
When it's more of a Progressive Speed Metal
What's Soulfly doing in there?
Trash was dead in 1990 and reborn again in Death Metal !!! .... it's only the evolution , man !!!
How can thrash have began in 1983 if Hit the Lights is a thrash song and it was written at least a couple years before?
Not dead, just evolved
Didn't know that Hardcore and Death is Thrash ..
All I have to say is thank you for this… now I have some new bands to listen to. 😈
The popular subgenere now is
Speed black and blackthrash
The problem with thrash metal is that it has not kept pace with technological advances in terms of sound
Most metal hasnt. Listen to vektor
Allegiance is my favourite thrash band
There’s a band out of Houston called “Epic” that is awesome. They sound like Metallica and Pantera’s love child.🤘🏻
I just could think about Megadeth when the year is 1990;)
Thrash will NEVER die!!!!!
