If y'all haven't heard yet, thrash is back, bitches!! I don't mean metalcore with thrash influences, I mean real fucking thrash.

So, in honor of this new wave of thrash, we should make a list of new bands (or old bands with new shit) with some links to songs. I'll start the list off and edit as more people post bands and links to songs:

In alphabetical order, THE LIST:

-AGGRESSION: new Spanish band, released debut in 2009, falsetto-ish vocals, mostly mid to mid-fast paced, very fucking headbangable, and they love the tried/true thrash chugging.
Moshpirit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21A2zAUBgGE
Thrash and Kill: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4OXd7oQrzM&feature=PlayList&p=763FFCA06C818133&index=2

-DESTRUCTION: the first of the German "Big 3" of Thrash, along with Kreator and Sodom. These fuckers have released a very fine catalog of thrash. They only have one guitar player, as opposed to the mass majority of other thrash bands that use 2, I think this was one of the reasons they weren't too huge in the Americas in the 80's. They released their debut in 1985. Mostly mid-fast and fast paced, higher pitch variety of vocals.
Thrash till Death: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtVs5MYGOyo
Cracked Brain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p444rqVXaD0
D.evolution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93B3HBAU-sY

-GAMA BOMB: Irish thrashers! Released their debut in 2005. Fast paced, vocals very reminiscent of GWAR, comical themes, fast-paced.
Final Fight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqZ0eJV7chY
Slam Anthem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3si-5eo5t8Y

-KREATOR: these Germans are veterans to Thrash and released their debut in 1985, releasing a solid catalogue until the 90s when the band went through a rough period. They never disbanded, but they released there awesome comeback "Violent Revolution" in 2001 that brought them back to the front of Thrash. Their early stuff is very raw, with harsh vocals, meager production, and brutal as fuck! After that, they developed into a little more defined, melodic and sophisticated Kreator (though never leaving behind the "Fuck religion, fuck the gov't, and fuck you!" attitude. The frontman, Mille Petrozza, has quite odd vocals that you can't really compare to anyone else, some people find it off-putting, and took me a while to grow used to him. Their songs very in pace, and Kreator helped to define the tremolo picked 16th note riffs, and were a huge influence to early death metal.
Pleasure to Kill: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGl0Plu_O4Q (very raw and brutal, title track off 2nd album)
Extreme Aggression: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prmMdI97hvQ
Enemy of God: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLJ8lxv97Fo

-LAMB OF GOD: Probably not pure thrash per se, more along the lines of groove/thrash/death metal(core). I have to mention these Americans here for the fact that they are one of the main catalysts for the thrash revival. Originally known as Burn the Priest, they released their debut in 1999 then changed the name to Lamb of God. Expect groovey riffs, melodic breaks, and hardcore-ish vocals from these guys.
Redneck: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3fZd5qZje0
Laid to Rest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOWB6rmSd4I

-LAZARUS A.D.: these guys, are my absolute favourite new thrash band. Released their debut in 2007, these guys were a complete breath of fresh air. From USA, these thrashers don't simply try to replicate the old school thrash, but merely use it as a reference point when making their own thrash. The biggest notable influences here are probably Pantera, early Metallica, and early Megadeth. The bassist/vocalist looks like Dimebag too
Last Breath: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEMN7cMIgNw
Thou Shall Not Fear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17dUpEP9e6A
Revolution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCL7O4uFvI0

-MEGADETH: Dave Mustaine. I shouldn't really need to say much more (and you should know who they are). Around since the 80's, releasing the debut in 1985, these fuckers can thrash. Nowadays, they're less thrash and more straight-up heavy metal.
Rattlehead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvlkw32qW8M
Peace Sells: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KDO_yCYcuU
Take No Prisoners: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9UeLylS_eA
Head Crusher: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvbdVOUa5EE

-METAL CHURCH: These Americans were fucking GODS! Released their debut in 1984, broke up in 2009 from poor album sales, no band was ever more metal than these fuckers. They weren't hell-bent on total destruction, instead were more interested in creating catchy heavy/thrash metal songs and having a good time. Over the years their style was more or less the same: mid to mid-fast paced, vocals with a great range, catchy riffs, and lyrics about metal.
Start the Fire: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOBPkrqoQZU
Mirror of Lies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pKc6wvLmXM
Date with Poverty: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0okvjA0oaA

-METALLICA: fucking Metallica!! Even my grandmother knows who they are. Mention Metallica to some seasoned metalheads and you'll either get screams of 80's glory or instant screams of "Fuck Metallica!!" Love'em or hatem, they were a very huge influence to metal as a whole.
The Four Horsemen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4nCy5CITc8
For Whom the Bell Tolls:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg92QpjRcJk
Battery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m99ybtk4QNs
Cyanide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUMqqVOlJBs

all I have time for now. Next bands on my list: Municipal Waste, Sadus, Sepultura, Slayer, Sodom, Strapping Young Lad, Testament, Zimmer's Hole.

Im super late to the party here, but i saw the name Havok like three times and had to reply. I knew those guys in highschool, and am best friends with their origional drummer that had a huge part in writing most of their earlier work like The Disease and their first demos and Ep (Death By Metal & Thrash Can). Im sure if i didnt have the connections id think they were great but fuck them.

Overkill on the other hand, just put out a new record called "Ironbound" which is fucking KIller! same with Lamb of God, i wasnt a huge Lamb of God Fan until i heard "Wrath" every track is just solid. Municipal Waste is rad, vektor i've heard before, called voivod, total rip off, not origional at all. Come on Vio-lence! get back together and do another record!

I don't see that happening with the immense success Machine Head are having. And yes Rob Flynn would have to be part of Vio-Lence cause their best works were recorded with him and him being quite a huge contributor in the writing process.

Lamb of God isn't at all thrash, pure groove/metalcore. I like them, and they were the first metal band I saw live (opening for Metallica) but not at all thrash.

Anyways, the thrash resurgence is what really got me into metal. I was looking up some Megadeth video on youtube, and saw sugested video by a band called Violater. Great Brazilian thrash band. Then I found a video for Fueled by Fire, kinda repetetive band, but good nonetheless. Then I found Warbringer... and holy hell.... "PREPARE!!! FOR COMBAT SHOCK!!!!!!!!!" That was my moment of coversion to the metal faith.

Some of my favorite bands from the movement include the aformentioned bands, National Suicide, Bonded by Blood(seen them live 3 times), Evile, Dekapitator, Gama Bomb, Swashbuckle, and Municipal Waste.

Nowadays LoG is more or less what people call metalcore nowadays, but As The Palaces Burn sure as hell IS thrash. Sayng that isn't thrash is like saying most of newer Slayer isn't thrash. Damn, it is clear LoG operates along those lines on As The Palaces Burn.

Warbringer is probably my favourite.

A lot of new wave thrash bands in my opinion come off as being very bland/generic.
These guys though have such fucking awesome riffs and the drummer is an absolute machine.

What I love though is they have a rich variety of music while still staying thrash (no other musical components such as instrumentals normally but I have nothing against other musical elements-just nice to have a few bands sticking to brilliant un-rated extreme metal while not cutting off from that path).

I think that a lot of new thrash lately doesn't feel much inspiring, but that doesn't mean that there aren't any quality newcomers in the mix (Gama Bomb for one, though they're the comic book/dorky vein)...

I agree. I saw them open for metallica too and I honestly thought they sounded like shit, imo. But Iv never been a big fan of that style of vocals.

I posted in this thread before I heard Vektor. They are a must.


and anyone not listening to Revocation need to immediately. Their new album, Chaos Of Forms, is fucking awesome. I have yet to decide if it tops their debut but it is definitely better than Existence is Futile.

Toxic Holocaust and Skeletonwitch stick out to me as major new headlining thrash bands, also two of my favorites.
Hopefully thrash will take over this terrible deathcore scene I've been dealing with on the east coast (of the US).

Hellish Crossfire, Skeletonwitch, Warbringer and Toxic Holocaust are deffinitely keeping Thrash alive.

Municipal Waste always comes across as more poorly done crossover, and Gama Bomb has really only a handful of good songs amidst a pool of mediocre work. Evile hasn't "wowed" me, and Lazarus A.D. had an AMAZING debut, but boring as hell follow up album.

I wish Mutant was an actual band releasing music consistantly... Psycho Surgey was easily the best song on that one compliation.

Evile, Warbringer, Gama Bomb, Bonded by Blood, Skeletonwitch and Lazarus A.D. are among my favorite new Thrash bands. BbB, 'Bomb and Lazarus' are fucking awesome live, aswell as Skeletonwitch. Evile and Warbringer were pretty good from what I remember but didn't stand out as much as the others. A band I've yet to see mentioned in the thread (unless I've overlooked them) are Savage Messiah. Their 'Insurrection Rising' is a seriously good album if you enjoy The Gathering-era Testament, Tempo of the Damned-onwards Exodus and the newer Megadeth albums (and what could be called the 'better' elements of Trivium, I guess...).
