Favorite Thrash Metal Band?

1.) Metallica

2.) Children of Bodom

3.) Lamb of God (Not sure if they're thrash or death?)

Edit: Megadeth isn't that bad too

Exodus, Testament(very underated but awesome),Megadeth and Metallica.

My #1 right now is Megadeth, saw them in concert and they were incredible!

[QUOTE="Thyeora"]A few people said CoB but, although I love them, I never really thought of them as thrash. I happen to enjoy some good Testament now and again.Rikardur

Me either, I see them as melodic death metal. Or power metal.

I wouldnt say power metal, but EXTREME POWER METAL....suits it better :)

That's what I thought. I listened to them back in Follow the Reaper. Such a superb album. It sounds to me like they have begun using some of the methods they used to use on their new album and that makes me happy.

omg really? Have they went back to their old awesome sound? Follow The Reaper is my favorite album of theirs as well.

They haven't entirely returned to that sound but they seem to have combined the heavier sounds of Hatecrew Deathroll/Are You Dead Yet? and the melodic sound from their earlier stuff. I haven't heard the whole CD yet but the two songs I have heard (Banned From Heaven and Blooddrunk) are a great improvement from Are You Dead Yet? You can find the both on youtube I think.

Their later stuff feels much more thrashier to me than their previous melodic sound. But yeah, they really are hard to categorize.

Yeah, Banned from Heaven is definitely my favorite song from blooddrunk.

I love Testament's new album, and you're right, they are VERY underrated and I absolutely love Chuck Billy's vocal style with both the clean vocals and the awesome growls. But all that said, to me, Megadeth is the definitive thrash metal band. There isn't one album they've put out that I don't like. Plus, Duke Nukem theme = greatest instrumental ever.

Yeah, I really like this album, though I will admit that I miss a lot of sounds that they had going in Hatebreeder and Something Wild, and most of all, Follow The Reaper. Hate Me! and Mask of Sanity are some of the best damn Melodic Death Metal songs I've ever listened to.

Ha ha, oh man. That was definitely one of their best covers. Not even the Aces High cover could top that one.

They may as well make a music video for it.

• Children of Bodom
• Metallica
• Slayer
• Anthrax
• Megadeth
• Evile
• The Haunted
• Megadeth

Uh I gotta go with with a tie between Metallica and Machine Head.

BTW, anyone LOVING how thrash came back last year? We got some great stuff like this:

Evile-Thrasher (This is a modern ****c and has some incredible guitar)

Machine Head-Aesthetics of Hate

Exodus-Iconoclasm / Children of a Worthless God (Can't choose which is better)

Seriously, "The Blackening" by Machine Head and "The Atrocity Exhibition" by Exodus are two AMAZING cds!!!

The Blackening deserves special attention for it being a Metallica **** cd (8 songs with the 4th being the ballad) that kicks ass! To me they are somewhat like what Metallica should have evolved into instead of sucking after the early 90's.....
