Ok so not EVERY tech thrash album. There could be some random unknown underground album that isn't anywhere online. Moving a lot of my favourite genre to AOTY to essentially give it more ...

As much as they aren't the most popular band in the world, nor are they the greatest band ever, I still have fun making these ranking lists, just in case someone wants to check the tracks I like ...

Ah yes, the band where my whole taste around thrash started, an absolutely amazing band turned to dogwater with insanely complicated solos (for the Big 4's standards) by the "mainstream ...

I think "Love Us or Hate Us" describes Kreator perfectly. Although they got quite experimental through the 90s, they never really delved into anything "plastic", or strayed away ...

Probably the most influential and consistent technical thrash band of all time. Words wouldn't be able to describe their skill Top 5 1. Paralized, Mesmerized (by a longshot - underrated rec) 2. ...

I think you could make a case for them being the best thrash band outside of the big 4 from that era, maybe even deserving to be IN the big 4 alongside other candidates like Exodus, especially ...

Amazing thrash group, one of the most consistent thrash bands out there. Severely overshadowed by the Big 4, and probably the next best band after those 4 (you could make the case for testament but ...

Out of Sodom and Kreator, I think I'd say I prefer Sodom. They had very similar peaks and ebbs in their careers, funnily enough, and usually seem to rebound off each other, however I do think ...

"Quorthon (of Bathory) wrote drummer Carsten Nielsen in the summer of 1986, asking him if he'd be interested in joining Bathory. Nielsen replied that he figured his band Artillery would be ...

A very unique progressive/technical thrash metal band with sound and album structure very few can replicate. I really enjoy a lot of their material even despite being not the most consistent tech ...

And metal elitists wonder why so few people get into the genre. I’m not gonna lie, quite a few metal fans are quite harsh with their takes on certain types of metal bands, like Pantera, that ...

Great band, although a very general sound, I respect them being consistent all the way through and finding an identity. Joel Grind needs to be praised more. Top 5: 1. 666 2. Exxxecutioner (the song ...

I'm only the umptillionth person to do this but whatever Top 5: 1. Creeping Death 2. The Four Horsemen 3. Phantom Lord 4. One 5. For Whom the Bell Tolls Underrated Rec: Metal Militia

Although considered one of the big 4 of Thrash, their presence is sometimes forgotten due to those 3 groove metal album they tried so hard to cling on to. They're quite underrated though, and ...
