Metal

My recommendation is Sepultura - Beneath the Remains (1989).

The next few albums I think are great though they steadily move away from the thrash you're describing.

Damn this is my whole thing!!

Early Venom, Bulldozer, Bathory's self-titled, Sodom's In The Sign Of Evil EP, Celtic Frost, Schizophrenia (Colombia), Witchtrap - if you are after something with a blackened twist.

Znowhite, Exciter - for more of a speed metal vibe.

Cryptic Slaughter, Excel, D.R.I., Carnivore's Retaliation - for some crossover (thrash/hardcore punk fusion).

Whiplash, Hallows Eve, Sepultura's Morbid Visions, Onslaught, Razor, Sodom's Masquerade in Blood, Tankard's Zombie Attack, Voivod's War and Pain - if you are after some old-school goodness.

Violator, Lich King - newer, but stiff raw af and will kick your ass back to the 80s.

There's tons upon tons of shit I've uploaded to !thrashmetal@lemmy.world over the years. Let me know if you ever need any more recs, I'm a total fucking nerd when it comes to thrash 🤣! 🤘🤘

Hexen - State Of Insurgency Excellent thrash album. Melodic, yet punishing riffs. Production is not slammed to the grid or hyper edited.

Coroner - No More Color Retro progressive/technical thrash. Unbelievable band. One of my fav favorites of all time.

Holy Terror - Mind Wars High velocity thrash. Good shit. Feels like its moving so fast the wheels are gonna fly off at any second.

Demolition Hammer - Tortured Existence This one's a banger for sure. Killer vocalist too. Another one of my favourite bands.

There was a Norweigan black/thrash band that channels a lot of Kreator in their vibe that you might enjoy: they're called Byfrost. Check out their "Black Earth" and "Of Death" albums.

Edit: corrected spelling of the band name.

Grove Street, Enforced, Pest Control, Guilt Trip, DYNAMITE

Onslaught is band from the early days of thrash and still sounds like it.

Hellripper (with a slightly blackened edge), Pest Control (crossover for a slightly DRI style) and you can't go wrong with BoltThrower or Sabbat (UK).

Raw, mid-90s, thrash from Perth, Australia.

Allegiance, Destitution album

This album was killer.

Playing Club O, Big Day Out, supporting Sepultura at the Freo Passenger terminal '94, and reforming to play a note-perfect set at the Charles in 2022, these guys are the thrash real deal.

If you don't mind a little black in there, go check out Hellripper.

The new Mr Bungle album is an excellent return to thrash.

Not exactly a deep cut but Testament is a band that I kind of glossed over growing up, to my own detriment.

The New Order

On the other hand, I was one of those weirdos who really got behind John Bush (Armored Saint) joining Anthrax. Dude is in my top 5 metal vocalists.

Sodium Pentothal

If you want shitty, sloppy drums... there's really no one like Lars.

(Also I'll mention Municipal Waste since no one else has...)

Humm.. off the top of my head.. Annihilator - Alice in Hell was a good one, all their stuff probably. Anthrax was always a favorite and can't be mentioned enough tbh, Among the Living, State of Euphoria, Persistence of Time. Gold. Exodus as well. King Diamond is amazing if you like storytelling and crazy vocals.

Overkill Taking Over is along these lines. Dew Scented first 4 albums are worth checking out as well. Some others who may be less known:

• Pro-Pain Contents Under Pressure
• Kings Evil
• Dekapitator
• Grip Inc
• Brick Bath

Hatchet

Exmortus

Skeleton Witch

Ghoul

I'll chime in with Carnivore, Peter Steele's band in the 80s

Death angel, exodus, testament, havoc.
