NOTICE FOR NEW SUBSCRIBERS (self.thrashmetal)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by serpineslair to c/thrashmetal
 
 

First of all, welcome!

If you haven't already, please read the sidebar for the rules etc. If possible, alongside posting a generic YouTube or Bandcamp link to a song, if you could post links to other services you use (such as Spotify) then it makes it easier for people to listen on their preferred platform. This isn't essential, but I think it makes it easier for everyone to access the music and listen the way they want to.

And if you want to be a real saint, you could remove unnecessary parameters from links ๐Ÿ˜‰ (though I don't expect everyone to go to that much trouble).

Enjoy some good fucking music! ๐Ÿค˜

Aggressive modern thrash band from Greece! Taking heavy inspiration from Kreator and the antichristian themes of Slayer. My pick is probably their catchiest song to me upon first listen.

From Warbringer's debut album.

If you can get past the cheesy, OTT lyrics, you have a solid, unashamed, tribute to old-school thrash, with plenty of fun to be had.

I'm staring to think that maybe I do like crossover, at least the bands that are infused with something extra, more extreme. Like Black Metal! lol

By far my absolute favorite output from Vader. This highly energetic and fast paced EP is basically 4 songs, each less than 4 minutes, but the speed and riffing is intense. My gift to you all today.

Late post, fell asleep by accident last night ;D .

I've been listening to the album Angel Witch by Angel Witch loads recently. I think it's maybe my favourite album I've listened to so far this year. I really wanted to post it however it is heavy metal, not thrash. However, I remember Exodus made a cover of one of their songs, so I can post this instead xD.

I like how on top of Tom Huntings vocals (usually Exodus' drummer, but on this song does vocals) they have Zetro's layered on top during the chorus. At the end it sounds like they also have Chuck Billy's gutteral scream, which I think is likely, since he did vocals on track 6 of this album.

Extra upload today brought to you by this Canadian Speed Metal debut in 1983! Good old shit \m/

Can't find an official Bandcamp, or official website; it seems they only use twatter and fakebook. :/

Opener to these crossover punks' 4th album. Fun tone and interesting time changes played over a recorded live crowd, just for that extra bit of atmosphere. Not sure about the rest of the album though, but I do like this track.

Today's pick is imo one of the better tracks on Countdown, the closer to the album that follows their taste of success. Awesome solos in this one with the riffing to match. Mustaine's vocal delivery is still.. unique, but definitely less cringey than Sweating Bullets lol.

One of my favourite Anthrax tracks to listen to at the moment. Love the slower, yet heavier riffs, and definitely the time change when they play em faster! I was surprised to learn I have not yet posted this song!

Early Razor, plenty of grit.

Some old school pissed off thrash today. These guys' debut album was also originally released as Illusions, but was re-issued as "Chemical Exposure" by Roadrunner Records. Sucks that the drummer was physically abusive later on, story came out recently as of last year.

Thought it was about time I posted some more Onslaught. This time from their most recent album: Generation Antichrist (released 2020). I'm not sure why Sy Keeler left the band, but I wish he was still on vocals. There is nothing wrong with the new vocalist at all, just a matter of preference.

Was only just made aware of this awesome modern Teutonic Thrash band and their 2022 release, a collection of homages to sci-fi nerd culture (Star Trek, X-files, Metroid series), and also to thrash metal itself! My pick to share today, however, is a cheeky one lol. I also love non thrash songs being thrashified xD. Let's just fucking infuse the entire world with thrash metal!!!

Goregrind version of a Metallica classic with all the fat trimmed off, literally lol. I feel it misses something but it's still a solid 3 min and a half track.

My journey through the US and Teutonic big 4s continues... I've pretty much put listening to other bands on hold till I get through em all (that is minus the non-thrash Metallica albums). I feel like once I finally nail down the basics of thrash, I can fully explore more underground bands (yes, I know, it's been a long time coming ;D). I successfully made it through the "Neo-Destruction" era (almost) in one piece. This is including The Least Successful Human Cannonball, which, I briefly pondered posting here for shits and giggles, but I decided to spare you all the pain. Thank me later. I also listened to All Hell Breaks Loose. I enjoyed it, but this release felt more interesting to post about for now.

This song I feel is quite groovy, especially by early Destruction's standards.

I remember really getting into this album when it came out at the time. Still pretty decent, it's an earworm that finds its way through random thoughts and memories as I do my mundane business throughout the day randomly lol. Anyway, here's the title track as my pick for the day. Catchy and a bit groovy, and another awesome solo.

Ghoul - Psychoplasm (maniaxe.bandcamp.com)

Weird blend of thrash, surf and psych. I'd say it works pretty well, despite losing many aspects of thrash.

Now this is speed metal! Love the vocals and the overall energy of the band. Guitarist Greg Fulton knows how to make killer riffs. Screaming solo!

P.S. fuck trump and fuck that delusional nazi Musk, for those OOTL. Apologies for bringing politics into this community, but I thought this deserved a special mention, people aught to know, especially since the video has started to be edited in places.

Unfortunately can't stream this album in many places.

I'm just gonna say this straight, I'm not a fan of Lich King. I'm also not a fan of like maybe 80% of crossover (the crossover tracks I've posted are obvious exceptions). But this song is pretty alright, it's just good fun. Like a slice of hot melty pizza on a carefree afternoon, but the kind from a pizza place that offers a "pepperoni" pizza, but there's only like six or seven slices on it. This song is the slice that happened to catch two pieces of pepperoni lol.

Absolutely brilliant vocals and guitar work. The raw tone is excellent, almost sounds like their amps are in my room with me!

P.S. apologies for not posting yesterday, I was absolutely hammered last night xD.

Remember Slayer's Show No Mercy?? That's essentially the vibes this band brings to the table; released only one full length album and it's just rearranged Show No Mercy lol.

Another great example of some technical thrash for ya! I really like the "enchanting" section at 3:07 on this one.
