I like Mourning Again. I'm still rather unclear on what exactly "Thrash" is; could you name some thrash bands?

Well, what are generally considered the "Big 4" of thrash (all of whom I think are highly overrated except Metallica) are Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax. Some other bands include Exodus, Metal Church, Testament, Kreator, Over Kill, Death Angel. I don't listen to a lot of thrash mostly because ALL thrash singers are incredibly bad singers, but that's kind of a trademark of the genre. Judging from the other bands you listen to, I don't think you would be impressed by thrash, but I don't really know the full spectrum of the music you like, so who knows.

Thrash metal is generally characterized by high-speed riffs, rapid-fire drumming, and aggressive vocals. Metallica's Kill 'Em All and Slayer's Show No Mercy, both released in 1983, were arguably the first true thrash albums. Healthy thrash scenes sprouted in the USA, particularly the San Francisco area. In the mid to late eighties the thrash metal scene took a steep rise into public recognition, reached its peak in popularity by the end of the eighties, and then gradually faded.

Well, like I said, I don't listen to too much thrash, but would recommend "Kill 'Em All" by Metallica. Second to that, I also like Megadeth's "Countdown To Extinction" or "Bonded By Blood" by Exodus. Again, you probably won't like these, but it's the best I can do.

that's a cool album, no doubt, but the singer is so non-melodic, it's something I have to be in the mood to listen to.
