- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ต.ค. 2024
- For many metalheads, thrash is their entry-point into the genre. Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax - these are some of the biggest bands in heavy music, and that's just scratching the surface of all the fast, furious and shred-tastic groups that make up thrash's vast ecosystem. But what's the single greatest thrash band ever? It's a question we posed to bigwig metal and rock musicians - including members of Spiritbox, GWAR, In Flames and Halestorm, as well as Lars Ulrich's sons, Myles and Layne, who play in the band Taipei Houston - and the answers ranged from undeniable titans to underground heroes. Watch now and let us know your pick for greatest band in the comments below!

The Gwar guy knows his stuff
that gwar guy earned my immediate respect when he said MOD and SOD lol.
GWAR have been around for a long ass time man ofc they know their stuff
@@mistathugdesolation they suck lgbtq off.
@@ChaseThePinballWizard Also for the mention of Kreator. Renewal Is such a great album!
Slayer
Edit: Lars' boys trying so hard to not say Metallica was hilarious
They said Venom. Very very smart kids.
@@MetalPersonJ Venom OGs of Black Metal though
those guys are a bit off, they remind me of the twins from superjail lol.
There was a clip of Lars talking to Mustaine saying that the favorite band of one of his sons is Megadeth, and he always asks him to put up Megadeth in the car 😆
@@69quato they weren’t a black metal band
Megadeth
I'm surprised there was no mention of Sepultura. "Beneath the Remains" is one of the best thrash albums of all-time imho. As far as modern-ish thrash, Lazurus A.D.
Yup. I love Beneath and Arise
Sepultura never was a purely thrash band.
FACTS
no surprise... its always these four. pantera and sepultura always forgotten
@@RChB What genre are they?
MEGADETH FOR LIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fagadeath for never, shit vocals, shit music.
Slayer, Overkill, Sodom, Kreator, Sepultura, Razor, Testament, Dark Angel, Destruction and Annihilator are my top 10 thrash bands.
Well hold on now give some of the young bucks some credit like power trip, 200 stab wounds and enforced.
I'II Say Forbidden and Violence should be included in here Hehe, Death Angel as well could be so Important Hehe.
Besides GWAR, they couldn’t have found a more un-metal group of people
Orbit culture and in flames are both pretty metal
I miss odorous :(
To be fair, it says "rockers react", so not sure they were going for the most metal group of people...
Seriously. This magazine/channel has went far downhill into lame hipster metal.
Anything that involves Halestorm is just pure garbage.
There should be a Big 13 festival tour. Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, Testament, Exodus, Overkill, Death Angel, Annihilator, Exciter, Kreator, Sodom and Destruction. Needs to happen
Man.....yes to this
Exciter isn't usually considered Thrash. They are more in that Speed Metal genre like Anvil and Agent Steel. Maybe replace it with Dark Angel, Voivod or Nuclear Assault 😁
Throw in suicidal tendencies too
@@oopsydaizi3s824 the lineup just keeps stacking. Voivod, Dark Angel, Suicidal Tendencies, Nuclear Assault. I agree
Replace Exciter with Sepultura and it’s perfect
I don't care if theyre "mainstream". Megadeth 90s lineup takes the cake melodically and rhythmically. Marty was so fucking good and his playing so beautiful. he and Dave made a perfect duo. And Nick fit that band like a glove and was so fucking intense. Roast me all you want....
No doubt Rust in Peace is a certified classic
Megadeth for me as well.
Megadeth all the way!
For me Rust in Peace and Slayer's Reign in Blood are the best thrash metal album of all time
RECKONING DAY all day long baby!!!!
RIP Nick Menza.... 🙏
Megadeth are my goats…rust imo is the goat metal album.
easily megadeth, the technical ability while also keeping it fast and thrashy asf is insane. most of these thrash bands try to hard to sound like thrash, they got the same rhythm and patterns that all the thrash bands who never made it have,
The youngest dudes in the video saying Diamond Head and Venom , I'm impressed
Those are Lars Ulrich’s kids so that’s why they weren’t bouta say Metallica
I couldn’t stop laughing looking at them not say Metallica 😂
I thought Myles Ulrich favorite metal band is Megadeth.
But anyway they love Diamond Head and Venom so it's totally cool
Wow, really surprising not a single damn mention of the most dedicated thrash band ever, OVERKILL! Wow they have been putting out STELLAR albums regularly not ever 3-4 years btw, since 85’. Still sound amazing live to this day. Bobby’s voice is still killer better tham most of the older thrash singers.
One of the few Thrash metal bands that have stayed true to genre over the course of their career
I concur!!! Overkill is in my top 5 all time favorite!!!
I love overkill but they're not the greatest thrash band.
Lol@ the Ulrich boys. They may have dodged a bullet from their paps there.
I was wondering if those two guys are Lars’ kids
those giggles lol I bet the Ulrich boys wanted to say Megadeth just to fukk w/their pops, that'd been great 😂 Diamondhead tho good save guys 👍🏻
Dark Angel, Sepultura, Coroner, Sodom, Exodus, Testament,and Overkill should have been brought up more in this conversation. But if we are talking about the new school warbringer,Evile, and Vektor are great choices.
OMG Vektor. Oh yes. While I might not go as far as calling them the best, as competition is so very high, if somebody said Vektor I would totally respect their opinion and see that they have a point. They are, in many ways, the ultimate band at what they are doing. They must have some of the best musicians in Thrash, ever. It's their 1st album for me. After that, they remind me of the avenues that Schuldiner and Death went down with The Sound Of Perseverance. Still great iow.
Have you heard any hellbound? Really sick thrash band
@@magganrz7064 Yes i have. Great band.
@@magganrz7064 Whilst naming your band after the 2nd Warlock album is an excellent idea, The Metal Archives lists 17 bands, all called Hellbound. So I did an advanced search for band name: Hellbound, genre: Thrash, status: Active and that left only one band from Croatia. It said 'Lyrical Themes: Booze, Women, Life' lol.
I’d love to see a new wave of thrash tour with Havok, Warbringer, Evile and Hatchet! Don’t forget Death Angel and Dark Angel for the old school.
This would've been cool, if you brought on people that we actually know, or actually know the genre.
Never heard of in flames? Wow
You don't know these bands? They were back in the day and maybe you weren't there, doesn't matter anyway cause you wouldn't understand.
If you don't know, now you know.
I never said I didn't know these bands, I said I don't know these people they brought on, and those people don't know the genre.
@@Totentanz2440”Would Anthrax be considered thrash metal?” 😂
@@stainedclass7894 yeah, the whole video (Other than when the guy from GWAR was talking) was just people going "Is one of the big four considered Thrash Metal?" It's so dumb considering that they're naming members of the BIG FOUR OF THRASH METAL and they keep asking if each of them are Thrash.
Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, Exodus, Testament, Kreator…. It’s not hard.
The black album isn’t thrash though.
Nor anything after the black album. Pure sellouts!
@@gregnorvell9730 Death Magnetic, Hardwired, 72 seasons
Yep, the black album blows. Metallica hasn't been thrash since the 80's. And Justice for All, was the last time they were thrash.
@@gregnorvell9730 lmao what? sellouts? you get dropped on your head at birth or something? if Metallica sold out, so did Megadeth, Anthrax, and almost every big name underground metal band
@@gregnorvell9730 anything wrong with being a sellout? Money is money at the end of the day, everyone chases the bag
Demolition Hammer definitely should have been up there if their albums were released a couple years earlier.
Skull Fracturing Nightmare!!!
@@the_pathologist YEEEEEEESSSSSSS 😝🤘
Epidemic of Violence is one of the best thrash albums of all time
Fucking savage band.☠
Epidemic Of Violenceeeeeee 🤘🏼
Its actually sad to see that a lot of modern metal musicians dont know much about one of the most popular and important areas of metal, maybe thats why modern metal sounds so different and has no influence from 80s/90s metal
To be fair Metal has 57 different sub genres because America has to label everything
@@Strugen. i know, i know but come on, thrash ist one of the most influential/popular metal genre
Dude, exactly. My first thought was damn, why do people keep asking if Anthrax and Megadeth are thrash? Their Half of the big four! I’m interested in knowing their influences because I’m sure i wouldn’t know many.
Guessing a lot of these people grew up mostly on stuff like nu metal.
@@masalps
Sadly...
Voivod, Vektor, Artillery, Sabbat, Megadeth, Coroner, Testament, Overkill, Death Angel and Sodom probably my favorites
dont forget Vio-Lence
imagine lars kids saying megadeath
Testament always been my favorite. I like to dig deep though. There are so many great unknown band as well. Agony, D.A.M, Living Death, Deathwish, Sabbat and so on..
thank you for saying Testament! Met them twice,the 2nd LOW tour -me & 2 best friends were waiting after the show - My friend Chuck sees Chuck Billy come out of the club(I brought a sharpie)My bestie yells at Chuck Billy"HEY CHUCK!IM A CHUCK!GIVE US A BEER!"He actually gave us 3 Bud Lights & signed them
Power Trip is such an underrated band. I think Hellhound takes it for me as best thrash band though
Underrated? Power Trip have been one of the most talked about "newer" bands in all of metal since their 2017 album. I haven't heard much since Riley passed.
Power Trip were the best of the new breed for sure! Slayer all time!
How is Lizzy Hale the FIRST person to mention Megadeth, almost 5 minutes in to this video??? Testament or Megadeth for sure
I was waiting for Megadeth too. I only just recently got into their music despite having been a metalhead for a couple of years now, and they are by far my favorite thrash band. I have been listening to songs off of Rust in Peace on a daily basis.
Not one mention Forbidden. One of the most underrated thrash bands. Probably because they didn’t release an album until 88 but god damn they ripped it up.
lol I just posted about them. Forbidden Evil is a monster album!
YES!
Yep gotta agree, Forbidden Evil is in my top five thrash albums, it's like Maiden/Priest meets Reign in Blood! March Into Fire is the most underrated thrash tune eva, fark me it's just vicious.
Slayer is probably the best due to how consistent they have been. But my favorite is Kreator.
If by consistent you mean they just kept repeating the same shit over and over then yes, I agree.
Consistant of Boring
Surprised Lars' boys didnt say Tygers of Pan Tang after how much he's probably hammered them into their heads over the years
Testament? Megadeth? Beats me.
I'm laughing at the amount of people that are questioning whether or not Anthrax or Slayer are thrash metal. For me, my top thrash bands are Metallica and Megadeth.
Metallica only has one thrash album which mustaine wrote
Dave Mustaine . The Godfather of thrash .
Kirk Hammett Exodus 1979
Besides Halestorm and the dude from Gwar,I have no idea who any of these people are.
Change the title to non thrasher musicians pick a thrash band they never heard before.
Although Power Trip hasn't been around for awhile, I enjoy everything they've released, so I'm gonna say them.
Riley Gale was a great presence and singer. RIP. While he is irreplaceable - as in nobody could fill exactly the same shoes or do exactly the same job, I really hope they find a good new singer with something new to offer and carry on making great music. I haven't heard any updates on what they are going to be doing.
You should listen to the super group Fugitive and their EP, Maniac. Blake Ibanez plays guitar in it
Check out Lowest Creature if you dig Power Trip
Thrash is literally the quintessential genre of metal everyone should hear first its not even a debate its just a fact
Amazing Modern Thrash bands suggestions for anyone who's interested:
1) French Progressive Thrash: Arcania (not the deth metal band ACRania)
2) Swedish Progressive Blackened Thrash: Sarcator (just released a new album)
3) Progressive Death/Thrash: Bloodmores
4) Belgium Blackened Thrash: Schizophrenia
5) Australian Thrash/Progressive Metal: Meshiaak (singer/rhythm guitarist's previous band is called 4arm, check out 4arm's album Submission For Liberty)
6) Thrash/Death/Progressive Metal: Artisan (both clean and deth vocals, very unique band).
7) Progressive Groove/Thrash/Metalcore-ish: Byzantine
8) Groove/Thrash: Lazarus AD
That's all I can remember for right now, but this is my list of my favorite Modern Thrash discoveries. Enjoy my friends! 🤘🤘🤙🤙
Based guy!
Thanks dude! Gonna check them out!🙌🏻🔥🤟🏻
@@diegovaldes3471 you're welcome man, thanks for giving these lesser known bands a shot! Enjoy my friend! 🤘🤘🤙🤙
Good grief 20 seconds in and half these people literally don't know what thrash is🤦♂️
Thrash? EXODUS hands down!!! Gary Holt is the single most underrated guitarist in ALL of metal… the early Holt/Hunolt riffs still crush 40 years later and the newer Holt/Altus combo is pure brutality
THANK YOU!
Exodus best stuff is with Kirk... period
@@andrewmcgill9544 lol, stop talking out of your ass, Kirk left in ‘83, Exodus’ first record didn’t come out until 1985, Bonded, Pleasures, Fabulous, Impact were all written by Holt/Hunolt/Hunting, Kirk had literally NO impact on the band at that point. so what “best stuff” are you talking about?
@@andrewmcgill9544 Kirk taught Gary Holt to play guitar which is cool
SLAYER! The answer is Slayer. If not, you asked the wrong question.
Fuccccckkkkkiiiiinnnngggg SLLLLLLLLLAAAAAYYYYYYEEERRRRRR
Megadeth hands down the best, like have you heard Peace Sells ? Unreal album.
Love Sepultura too with Arise.
Gotta say mad props to Bobby Blitz and crew of Overkill cos they have been around since Metallica and Slayer.
Both suck severely, nothing more then poser garbage.
Amen. Yes definitely Megadeth
peace sells is my favorite album of all time, gar samuelson and chris poland are my favorites
I grew up with thrash. It's interesting that the thrash genre is confusing to some younger people. Maybe it's kinda how '70s and '80s punk and new wave seem to me to encompass very different sounding bands. Or maybe it's like how alternative was kind of a catch-all in the nineties. I remember seeing both Primus and Sarah McLachlan in the alternative section in Columbia House. Genres are kinda useful and kinda silly.
That guy who said Metallica’s “Black Album” should be shunned mercilessly…not thrash…at all.
The greatest thrash band is SLAYER! Exodus, Anthrax, early Metallica before they sold out to being pop metal kings, early Megadeth, Testament, Dark Angel was also brutal, Kreator, Destruction, Overkill....
Exodus is so f***ing Underrated but for me Slayer imbody´s pure Thrash so i say Exodus ;)
I’m happy that i saw Testament live in Nepal few years ago,,,probably best days of my life❤
Some of these people are posers for real 😂
It strikes me that most of the people in these newer "metal" bands don't even like metal. Anders from In Flames, Gwar guy, Baroness guy, and maybe one other person seemed like they know what thrash is.
Ahh the ignorance of the youth
No mention of Annihilator eh? Jeff Waters was/is the elite thrash guitar player. Dark Angel’s Darkness Descends and Time Does Not Heal were outstanding.
Technically Speed Metal, no?
I know we’re splitting hairs here lol
@@TheBomber15 LOL
Rust in peace is my fav thrash metal album by far
Lord watching this made me feel fucking old. Most of these people are just clueless.
"Slayer... do they count?"
I know. Kind of like:
“What’s your favorite horror movie? The Exorcist…. Does that count as a horror movie?”
The dude from GWAR has the best answers on these.
Also.. METALCHURCH!
And that's how Lars Ulrich disinherited his children.
OVERKILL///Under the influence album is 100 percent real THRASH METAL!!!!
Apparently these people don't know what thrash metal is. He said "does Megadeth count?"
That’s my thought too. “Is slayer thrash?” Like what
Well megadeth had more speed metal elements originally and turned Into a pop band through the 90s but yes it's ridiculous they are on eof the biggest thrash bands of course they count
MEGADETH is the answer to the question...
I was looking for this response
Overkill, Slayer or Exodus for me
If we're talking single best thrash album, it's Megadeth with RIP no questions asked. Metallica and Slayer with MoP and RiB are up there as well. If we are talking consistency... Thrash tends to be very inconsistent, but Overkill I think is the most consistent thrash metal band of all time. Metallica had a perfect 5 album run. I really like Anthrax, Destruction, Sodom, Kreator, Testament, Exodus etc. but they all have 3-4 good albums max. Then there's the new school with Vektor and Havok which are amazing. Tough question. Metallica is well deserving of the title though.
Give it up to the guy from Gwar! He knows his shit!
All these musicians struggle to identify what Thrash Metal is? Seriously?
Heavy Metal + Punk = Thrash
SLAYER!!!!!! S.O.D., Metallica, Celtic Frost, Nuclear Assault, Kreator, Sodom, Sacrifice, Exodus, Megadeth, Whiplash,Dark Angel, Bloodfeast, Venom
Old school thrash I’m gonna have to go either Exodus or Slayer. New school thrash it’s definitely gotta be Warbringer for me. They are killing it!!
Amazing Modern Thrash bands suggestions for you, Thrash is my favorite genre and I'm trying to spread the word about these bands:
1) French Progressive Thrash: Arcania (not the deth metal band ACRania)
2) Swedish Progressive Blackened Thrash: Sarcator (just released a new album)
3) Progressive Death/Thrash: Bloodmores
4) Belgium Blackened Thrash: Schizophrenia
5) Australian Thrash/Progressive Metal: Meshiaak (singer/rhythm guitarist's previous band is called 4arm, check out 4arm's album Submission For Liberty)

8) Groove/Thrash: Lazarus AD

Middle Sepultura, before Chaos AD.
“Does anthrax count as a thrash metal band?” 🤪 really dude? How do they not know the big 4?
So many greats from the thrash scene not even named?
It's not Slayer... It's F*CKING SLAYER!!!
Testament is the only good answer
You can ask me i lived through the Thrash era..
killing is my business my favorite deth album, gar samuelson and chris poland fucking rule
Megadeth hands down
Gwar dude was the only one who really knows metal, holy shit.
Anthrax gotta be my fav. Out of the big 4 they just are so good
Mine too.
What about the German's?Destruction ,Holy Moses,Kreator,etc.they wrote amazing music.
tankard
Great to see Bloodywood here! The boys did it!
Powertrip pick up where the originators left it. Slayer is the one consistent. Metallica started that way Megadeth started that way, departed then returned. The best are as follows; Slayer, Megadeth, Kreator, Testament, Metallica and then Anthrax. Powertrip and Dead Heat are the next to light the torch. Shame about power trip’s singer though. R.I.P.
“I put on the Black Album every time!”
………….YIKES
Slayer so heavily mentioned warms my cold heart.
S L A Y E R ! ! !
SLAYERRRRR!!!!
SLAYER!!!! But I'm sooo glad that so many people even mentioned Testament. God I love Testament.
I love how Anthrax is getting the appreciation they deserve. Anthrax is my favorite metal band of all time. ♥
Is Metallica thrash…. Is anthrax thrash…..
1. Slayer
2. Megadeth
3. Metallica
4. Exodus
5. Kreator
6. Anthrax
7. Destruction
8. Overkill
9. Demolition Hammer
10. Testament
How the hell do these metal musicians not know that Anthrax, Metallica and others are thrash
NUCLEAR ASSAULT - when you know, you know.
Revolver: When your 'rockers' don't even know if Metallica and Anthrax play thrash you might question if you are asking the right people.
Slayer, Anthrax, Kreator, Destruction, Exodus, Sodom, Sacrifice, Testament, Overkill, Sepultur.
MEGADETH with SLAYER right behind
My pick is Megadeth - Mustaine wrote the first Metallica songs and honed his own thrash sound after getting the boot.
Jes wrote the first Metallica songs
That chick that said anything off of Spreading the Disease by Anthrax... yessss, I am now in love...
SLAYER!!!!!!!!
“In 83 I bought Kill em All
I circle moshed with the Phantom Lord
I hit the lights with the Metal Militia
and pulled mad teeth with no Anesthesia
In 84 I bought Ride The Lightning
I Faded to Black and the Death was Creeping
Trapped Under Ice I heard the Bell Toll
There was no Escape when Ktulu Called
In 86 I bought Master of Puppets
and Welcomed Home my Disposable Heroes
Me and Lepher committed Battery
The Death of Cliff is What Should Not Be
So go back in the closet and write some new riffs
or at least own up to Killing Cliff

You've clowned yourselves into the jokes of metal
I don't care how many times you load
Your blackened eye will show there's Justice For All” - PC Deathsquad (Fuck Metallica)
personally slayer but i love overkill and probably the most underrated band
Evil Never Dies!!!!!
Slayer easy
Slayer.
DEATH ANGEL, TESTAMENT, EXODUS, OVERKILL, DESTRUCTION, SODOM, KREATOR, MEGADETH, ANTHRAX, AND OF COURSE SLAYER!!!!!!!
Is metallica thrash? Is anthrax thrash? Oh yeah they’re only part of the big 4 no big deal
Tbf they both definitely changed their sounds later but I was saying the same thing like come on if we weren’t counting them as thrash this whole question is senseless
Slayer, old Sepultura & Sodom! yeah Sodom! constantly thrashing for years!!!
I am a huge Metallica fan...and the obvious answer would be Metallica because of popularity,but I believe Slayer is the staple band that is defining thrash metal for their whole existence. Metallica went to heavy metal and progressive metal styles even on their first 4 albums. Also not to forget German giants like Sodom, Kreator and Destruction....
Laaz Rocket, Heathen,D.R.I. & piles of lesser known bands threw down back in the day.
Sepultura, Evile, Demolition Hammer.
As much as I love all types of metal thrash metal is the one I always go back to all the time. Suicidal tendencies, Vio-lence,Ludichrist, nuclear assault, sacred reich, Morbid Saint, D.R.I, Rigor mortis and these are just a few bands that are just absolutely great bands to listen to. If you havent heard of em go give a listen.
D.R.I fucking slaps, so cool that they tour every year
D.R.I. thrash zone is soooo EPIC!!!
Definitely DRI!!!!
Rockers react ? More like posers react? These people don’t know anything except like two lol
The dudes are like Metallica didn't stay thrash but Slayer never changed. Slayer did change, they quit.
Sam Dunn literally drew the family tree so go do your homework kids! Come back when you know what you're talking about.
