I was tired of Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer and Megadeth polls about Thrash metal. So I decided to learn about people's opinion on
other early thrash metal bands. Obviously I forgot some but I placed OTHER so everyone should be happy

Just tell me which one you prefer and why
and don't forget to vote. I don't wanna hear anyone saying (my favorite is so metallica) please just don't include the big four. lol

My personal favorite would be Exodus

even after the change in the vocals back in the day, they remain my favorite thrash metal band, because they're brutal, constant and they never forgot their old thrash metal sound. My favorite album is (obviously) Bonded By Blood. Also, a little 2010 recomendation would be Exhibit B, cause its simply awesome ! Can't wait for their next piece of art

Your turn to give me ur opinion

Poll

The closest they ever were to thrash was Power Metal, but generally they were either 80's heavy metal or groove metal.-which is similar to, but different than thrash. They had some thrash songs, but never a full thrash album. Loading...

Yea, that was my thought too and they are definitely not Power Metal. In general alot of the music genres intertwine and in my opinion they are most definitely Trash although alot of other bands might be consider to be more "pure" in the Trash Metal genre. ---- tombstone.fi Loading...

In general alot of the music genres intertwine and in my opinion they are most definitely Trash although alot of other bands might be consider to be more "pure" in the Trash Metal genre. Pantera are what is called Groove Metal or Post-Thrash. Which are subgenre's of Thrash. They basically invented the style by adding a lot of groove to Thrash Metal. Cowboys from Hell is a mix of Thrash and Power Metal. It could almost be called Power Thrash but also the grooviness starts on that album. My vote will always be Testament. I think they are better than any of the "BIG FOUR" although Megadeth comes in a close second. ---- "I see the world's bones, I see the world dead" Max Cavalera Loading...
