Speed/Thrash Metal

[Syk0tic]

My least favorite genre when it comes to Metal. I seriously only really liked Kreator and Running Wild. Name some bands and albums similiar to these two.

exodus and testament (both bay area natives) are my fav's when it comes to thrash

I don't think these sound too similar to Kreator or Running Wild (I never really got into them because I slept on them - shame on me), but here are some bands I've always liked:

Possessed
Dark Angel
Voivod (early)
Pestilence
Bloodfeast

 

[RedStorm]

Tankard

"Beauty and the Beer" and "Stone Cold Sober" are both decent.

Not as evil as Kreator, but riffage is similar.

The best thrash/speed metal band imo is slayer. Another cool old school thrash band was storm troopers of death.

SToD's "Speak English Or Die" fuckin roxxorz but imo, anthrax are better

 

[WHITE DEVIL]

I hate Slayer.

I hate Slayer like I hate Britney Spears.

^ Listen to reign in blood and seasons in the abyss, 2 of their early albums they're pure thrash/speed. After about 1990 slayer I'm not as in to them.

Im clueless on this genre but i like morning again and always see them labled as thrash. So maybe try them?

Morning Again was basically Slayer played by SxE HC kids . . . but good stuff nonetheless.

meshuggah is hardly thrash... polyrhythms give it a unique math metal brand. the best meshuggah is nothing & catch-33

When I got Nto HipHop N Rap, I havent gotten on top of my metal. As for thrash N speed, thats what I like....

All the bands are gettin old N the new ones suck these dayz for me.

I was refering specifically to their Contradictions Collapse album which (arguably) contains plenty of thrashy tracks, very similar to old school metallica... before they went full-blown on polyrhythms and annonymous time changes...

...I loved 'Nothing' and tha 'I' EP but 'Catch 33' didnt impress me at all.

Had to bring this thread back because I just found a band called Nocturnal Breed. It's very evil, aggressive thrash from Norway. Some of it kind of has a blackish feel to it (vocals can venture into black metal occasionally, for instance), but it's definitely thrash.

I got the album "Fields of Rot"

I think you might like this Syk0tic
