Good stuff, but nothing to get really exited about. Worth a listen.

One band that is one of my favorites of all time is D.R.I., they first started out as a strict hardcore punk band, but then crossed over into the thrash metal genre and they did it most excellently. Every album that they released is pure thrash. Not alot of people know about them, but definatly worth checking out.

A list of my 80's thrash favorites:

Destruction
Slayer
Exodus
Testament
Sodom
Sepultura
Dark Angel
Deathrow
Sacrifice

Death and Possessed, as well as Celtic Frost if you count them as thrash - some do others say death-metal, but whatever.

I also like DRI a ton. Crypic Slaughter, Excel, Agnostic Front, Suicidal Tendencies, etc. are some other fringe thrash/punk bands that are worth checking out.

I listened to a lot of thrash in the 80's (who didn't) and my favourites where Sodom, Destruction and Kreator. I know they are all german but I feel that the german scene is a bit underrated. Not that there's anything wrong with Slayer, Exodus and the other american acts but I prefer the germans. Thoughts?

Thoughts?

The Teutonic scene is vastly superior to TB4 if you ask me. And it's unfortunate how apparently underrated bands like Sodom are.

Couldn't agree more!

Onkel Tom is the "Lemmy" of thrash in my humble opinion!

I wouldn't say the German scene is underrated. Kreator and Sodom got the attention they deserved, as for Destruction, maybe a bit underrated.
Btw, I also prefer German thrash.

As for German thrash, there were some decent bands that are now forgotten, like Vendetta or Assassin. The big German trio though, that's another story.

Destruction had some BRILIIANT songs with fantastic riffs early in their career, e.g. "The Ritual", but their whole albums never reached a high level of quality. Maybe they should've released them less often, choosing songs more carefully?

Kreator had some classic, awesome albums like "Terrible Certainty" or "Terrible Aggression". Their first two releases are mainly crap though. I can't understand the praise that "Pleasure to Kill" is still getting from some people, not to mention impossibly sloppy and amateurish "Endless Pain".

Sodom, except for the fact that they were initially kind of part of the first wave of black metal (someone try to convince me that "In the Sign of Evil" is more thrash than black), never released an album that could be (at least to these ears) called great. "Persecution Mania" and "Agent Orange" were close, and I still like those albums, but they're miles behind American thrash.

All things considered, Germans are best at black metal and power metal. If one wants good thrash, they should look towards the US.

I disagree of course but I respect your opinion.

Check this band Wrath (USA) and their albums Fit of Anger and Nothing to Fear. It's killer bay area style thrash metal.

Good choices dude. Love Cryptic Slaughter and ST.

Tankard is a surprisingly great band. Been crankin out good albums forever

Tankard... I've always hated their sound. Maybe it's because I don't drink alcohol.

Same here. I never could get into Tankard. Wehrmacht is way better as "beercore" anyway.

I've always ignored Tankard. Have seen Wehrmacht live and they were fun back in the day. Opened for Anthrax and Slayer (Megadeth, too?) in Tacoma, WA the only time I saw them. I still have Shark Attack.

A few more thrash/punk outfits that made good noise in the 80's: Adrenaline O.D. and Corrosion Of Conformity (Eye For An Eye and Animosity) are some others. Post Mortem also comes to mind.

Sodom and slayer are my fave thrash bands i do prefer the german thrash slightly more than american thrash(minus slayer of course)

a thrash band i would like to see get a little more love is onlsaught. The Force being one of the all time great thrash albums and their new album sounds of violence is great

artillery is another great thrash band that released 2 really good albums in the 80s

I wouldn't refer to Artillery as a great band, but a band that released two great albums.

Their post-breakup/hiatus stuff is anything but great.

No love for By Inheritance??

Otherwise, I agree. I think their most recent two were pretty good, but I basicalliy never go back to listening to them anymore. and the vocals on B.A.C.K. make it unlistenable for me.

And it's the worst of their first three although still enjoyable but really overrated especially the side B of the album with i's filler nazareth cover.

I agree it MIGHT be overrated (only because it is regarded so high on this website, sometimes being no.1 on the charts...) but yeah, still very enjoyable. The first 3 tracks are killer!

tbh I mean overrated on MS, because everywhere else I look it gets the amount of praise it deserves (so between a 7 to 8 rating)
