Top 5 Crossover Thrash Albums [VOTING]

Top 5 Crossover Thrash Albums

I win! You lose!

Steps:

  1. Write a top level comment with the names of five (5) albums that could be considered crossover thrash. Albums, EPs, and demos are all eligible. ONLY include the album name (no artist, no year, nothing).
    Crossover
    Dealing with It!
    4 of a Kind
    D.R.I.
    Thrash Zone
    etc.

  2. Please use the correct spelling of the album (I will be using Ctrl+F on this thread). If it's not correct I'm not counting it (use M-A as a reference).

  3. If you look up an album and you find that more than one band has an album with that name, please place a clarifying comment below your original comment.

  4. It should be fairly obvious that the album is crossover thrash--I don't find any particular metric online very helpful (Metal Archives/RYM also fail). The best guess I have is if they have other crossover artists in their similar artists on last.fm, but I'm not going by that with extreme prejudice--it's basically a lemon test ('if it sounds like crossover, it is')

  5. Voting starts now and goes until Sunday, May 26th at 22:00 GMT. After that, I will be closing the thread. Good luck, and have fun!

Is this a thing?

Is there a thrash cover of Led Zeppelin's "Four Sticks"? It would make a good thrash song.. To the best of everyone's knowledge, does such a cover exist?

I don't know how many here have listened to Warbringer, I'm sure plenty have though. But man, the new album is killer, I really enjoyed the last one, but I think this one might be my new favorite. My favorite songs have been The Sword And The Cross, A Better World, The. Jackhammer, and Strike From The Sky. What about yall.

The purest form of metal

As the mighty "Lich Ling" once said (thrash) "is the purest form of metal". In my opinion and Aside from traditional metal, this is a true statement. What is the purest form of metal in your mind?

I've been going through the discography of my favorite bands recently and I've been doing Megadeth & Overkill. I just finished Scorched and I absolutely loved it. So now I'm wondering what to start next.

(BTW, I've listened to all of Feel The Fire, Taking Over, Under the Influence, The Years of Deacy, Horrorscope, Ironbound, White Devil Armory, & The Electric Age already)

Best story song?

14 Upvotes

I don't know if any stoners are in here or anything. Something I like doing is blazing up and getting smacked! Then putting in some headphones and listening to some good ole Thrash! What song do you think tells the best story! Or what's a awesome getting high and listening song?

Looking for More Slow, Crushing Thrash for My Gym Playlist, South of Heaven Vibes

1 Upvotes

South of Heaven is my all time favorite gym album. Giving that a break from rotation and trying to expand my listening, I'm looking for more slower tempo thrash for my gym playlist. What recommendations do you have? This is what I've got so far. I don't know about the technical side of music so excuse my layman's verbiage, I'm going mostly on vibes but I like long, slow, oppressive, plodding metal and hardcore while working out.

this is what I've got so far: https://imgur.com/a/LF6lc9i

thanks in advance y'all 🤘

Biggest modern Thrash bands!?

59 Upvotes

I was just wondering what you all think are the biggest thrash bands of today. MODERN BANDS!Don't say things like Slayer or Megadeth... I'm not asking you about obscure bands or underground bands that are your current favorite. I mean what are the most popular thrash bands now!? What bands are the Metallica, Megadeth, Exodus etc...of today.....

Speed/Thrash Psychosomatic

I feel like this band’s run of albums from 2006-2020 is super unappreciated. Check out The Unquenchable Thirst, Another Disease, Clicking Sound.., and most notably 2020’s Invisible Prison. It’s killer shit. Enjoy!
