Thrash Metal Revival 🤘🏼 2000-2021

At the end of the 80s the Thrash metal popularity go down… those five or Ten years of success are destined to disappear and only will survive just a bunch of popular bands like Metallica, Slayer, Overkill, Kreator, Testament, Megadeth, Anthrax and a few more.
Maybe the reasons was the irruption of the Glam Metal, Grunge Music was all over the place too, I always believed that the popularity of Pantera . But the real thing is the world its a little bit tired of the lack of originality of the genre and the new bands are part of the same.

1.Mantic Ritual - Executioner
2.Bonded By Blood - Feed The Beast
3.Havok - Burn
4.Blessed Curse - Blessed Curse
5.Evile - Skull

1001 Metal Albums to Hear Before You Die

An ongoing list for personal use as well as for reference for beginners (& veterans alike). This is solely my personal opinion and taste (Death & Prog mostly but do give every genre a try). Basically will include albums I've rated 8 & above. Sorted by year since I'll need a Venn diagram to sort by genre (seriously MS please make it happen if possible). Will feature multiple releases per year (obviously) and per band (since if a band is putting out better albums it deserves more recognition). Keeping the metal faith alive from India

1.Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
2.King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King
3.Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin III
4.Black Sabbath - Paranoid
5.Uriah Heep - Look At Yourself

Guib's Essentials (Alphabetical Order)

Wanna know what I headbang to on the regular? The releases that have seen countless re-spins... Well, this is a very simple list and something you've probably seen a lot of other MS users do in the past. Basically, I'm just going to list what are essential metal albums for me, my all time gems & masterpieces (very subjective and some are also in there due to nostalgia and sentimental value).

There's no particular ''Genre'' that I'll be covering and I will also try to limit myself to two albums per band and a few of my favorite tracks or highlights per album. Of course everything in this list is just my opinion, meaning that I'm not saying these albums are all masterpieces or whatnot, it's just my personal favorites. I hope most of you will agree with me and those few who don't, well... it's okay to be wrong, the next step is acceptance

Murder Your Hangover With Metal

(Probably are plenty of more obscure discs I've never heard of that you could substitute for a few of the following, but a lot of them would likely require some journey into the web. Where people have a tendency to make their presence known. Not advisable when hungover. Best to stick to the whole alone thing and the sorts of albums that everyone should either have a physical copy of or at least in their comp music folders somewhere.)

1.Warning - Watching From A Distance
2.
3.Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain
4.
5.Wolves In The Throne Room - Black Cascade
