When did thrash metal die? Was it Cliff Burtons death, Dimebag getting shot, the black album, what was it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_sK0682YDM
>>61359168
It never really died, it just went underground.
>>61359168
Dimebag has nothing to do with thrash. I'd reckon Thrash as a major scene died in 1992. It came back for a bit around 2007 or so. I assume it's on the way out again.
>>61359228
I've always heard that pantera invented groove metal, which was a sub genre of thrash. Seems to me that all the good surface thrash died with Dimebag and Damage Plan
>>61359305
You heard wrong. Pantera popularized groove, but they didn't invent it...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pF8S_ssMmI
Slayer released Reign in Blood and it was not to be topped.
>>61359198
10/10 repeated chromatic progressions with hammer-ons as fuck. It's such an on the nose parody of its own genre that it's actualy funny
>>61359758
any better thrash from the last two years?
>>61359228
see
>>61359199
Also, Pantera was definitely thrash on several occasions.
>>61359827

Metal evolved to many other things. thrash metal bred what would become death and black metal and influenced shit ton of bands. Also, everything that goes mainstream has an expiration date
>Cliff dies
>Metallica goes for Motley Crue sound
>Black album best selling metal album ever
>Pantera is doing their groove metal thing
>Hip-hop is getting bigger and bigger
>All these things come together and nu-metal is formed and becomes the next thing
>>61360207
nu-metal died in the early 2000s
Yesterday.
Rest in rip peaces Lemmy-san.
>>61360516
This
I'd say the rise of death metal killed it. Thrash started out seeing who could play the heaviest, fastest shit and that became redundant with death metal. The hangers on started making the music about scales and chord progression and really its only so long you can keep making albums based solely around technicality.
Thrash never died in Germany, my friend. Listen to Kreator, Destruction, Sodom, and Tankard's recent albums. American thrash metal is shit, and never was as good.
>>61359168
>did thrash metal die with cliff burton?
wow
you should try listening to the genre before you make a thread about it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrash_metal
here are the general recs

greatest thrash album coming through
>>61359168
When Death Metal started becoming more popular than it. At least Vektor exist now and they are better than pretty much 90% of Thrash Metal bands to have ever existed.
>>61359577
Slayer's best Thrash Metal release is Show No Mercy though.
>>61363585
Objectively, Aspid - Extravasation > any Thrash album and probably any Metal album since Thrash is the best metal sub-genre.
>>61363585
Nice try
>>61363429
solid 9/10 list. covers most of the base elements and eras of thrash. i like this. only album i havnt heard on here is the 87 leviathan demo, but im looking for a download now. i should recommend this album to anyone who isnt an elitist prick and will be happy to listen, if you can find it.
Nothing to see here guys, it's just the most bland subgenre of heavy metal coming through.
Objectively Voivod was the only good thrash metal band ever.
The genre got oversaturated with 800 bands trying to become the next big four band but none of them had a distinct sound and all sounded the same
It happens to every popular genre
>>61364224
That album is fucking great.
>>61364272
it went to the extremes with this subgenre though, literally no fucking whatsoever innovation for 30 years now. Every thrash band that tried to innovate got poor reception.
>>61364265
oh and Darkness Decends was a great album, but it was still fucking bland as fuck, it just perfected the subgenre.
I feel like every time a metal genre dies the metal god go back into the workshop to make a new one, like after thrash died numetal happened, and after nu metal died we have terrible shit like metalcore and p4k trying to push post metal hipster fag bands like deafheaven.
I want there to be a bunch of bands based on wolves in the throne room environmental metal, i think that could be the next big thing, nature is brutal....
>>61364462
Wolves in the throne room are p4k hipster trash
>>61360037
Not too shabby.
Super Collider was absolute horseshit.
This is a positive surprise.

thrash never evolved and got replaced by nu metal and other forms of metal,
Although thrash and hair metal were the peak of metal in the mainstream
>>61365733
>thrash never evolved
I don't know man, Vhol, Vektor, and Black Fast have been doing newer things with thrash.
>>61359228
Thrash was already getting quite burned out in 87. By 89 there was something else going on...
"...Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness changed everything [about the Swedish scene]. Before that there was no clear distinction between death, speed, or thrash among regular metalheads. It was just brutal metal. But Altars of Madness opened people's eyes, and made us realize something new was going on. Everybody bought that record. Everybody. And thrash was executed by it – the whole genre just disappeared"
That also happened in the US to a certain extent. By 1991 it was effectively dead and buried.
>>61364855

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxYNB1oGxFE
>>61365937
Even though Megadeth's arguably most successful albums were released in the 90s.
>>61366031
In the early 90s it was dead as dead can be. There were a number of thrash bands still out there but they were pretty much run over by a Death/Grind/Black tidal wave.
>>61366101
>In the early 90s it was dead as dead can be.
Stop speaking out of your ass, anon. Thrash's popularity and reach peaked in the early 90s. It only started go go underground in the early 00s. Thrash never died, it's always had a large, active underground scene.
Have some good modern thrash.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf-a1Fupras
>>61366101
>In the early 90s it was dead as dead can be
what? thrash gained popularity in the 80s, plateaued in the early 90s, and started to lose popularity in the late 90s and early 00s. some of the consistently greatest thrash albums came from the 90s senpai.

>>61366121
It was done.
Question... where were you in say, 1992 or 93? Thrash was yesterdays news and no serious metalhead was a diehard about it anymore. It was the same all over. Death Metal was the happening thing along with Grind and the Black metal stuff was all over the tape trading scene. Thrash at that time was for the lightweights. Even the Powerviolence thing ala Infest/Neanderthal was way more brutal.
Thrash was done.
Our heating was just cut off due to unpaid bills.
The hot water was gone half a year ago and electricity's next.
After that, they'll take the house.
Metal for this feel?
>>61366328
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD6gKjtpkFM
>>61366279
And compare those with the releases from Morbid Angel, Suffocation, Deicide, Entombed, Terrorizer, Obituary, etc. etc.
Bands such as Incantation and Brutal Truth were by thrash players wanting to go further and more intense.
>>61366297
Contrary to what you believe, metal was never judged by how brutal or heavy it was.
>It was done
Thrash was never done. There's always been an active, large thrash scene in every decade and there still is.
The early 90s metal scene was dominated by OSDM and thrash. Black metal was actually looked down upon by OSDMfags and thrashfags until the late 90s when black metal began to solidize.
>>61366361
Again, metal was never judged by how brutal or heavy it was.
>>61366361
comparing the intensity of thrash and death metal is stupid considering they're completely different subgenres, lad. thrash can go very hard though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tAbcWrrIQU
>>61366366
>Contrary to what you believe, metal was never judged by how brutal or heavy it was.
Could have fooled me and my friends. We were constantly searching for the heaviest, fastest, most aggressive, insane, mindblowing material out there.
So were most of the people we were trading with and meeting. All out brutality was a big plus. It was a matter of seeing what bars were set and who overcame them and and how.
>>61366445
But you also need to realize that the entire metal scene wasn't like that. Valuing brutality was mostly a death metal thing. If brutality is what made metal objectively good, prog and power metal would have never gotten so big.
>>61366445
>fasted, most aggressive, insane, mindblowing material
you literally just described vektor and a bunch of other tech-thrash.
>>61366457
Well, that's pretty much what we were looking for back then. Metallica circa 1984 was a whole other side of Heavy compared to what was around at the time on MTV, for example. Slayer's Haunting The Chapel was a whole evil new sound. We never heard anything like it. Possessed with Seven Churches? It was the beyond description. Then you had Bathory's The Return. The Hellhammer demos were doing the rounds. The HC scene was also a big influence etc.
>>61366600
If you're looking for the heaviest thing, more power to you, but you really can't deny that modern thrash has evolved to stand on its own feetcompared to older thrash which is practically just "soft OSDM".
Black Fast released a thrash album this year that's pretty heavy from a thrash perspective.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jlDI3VBaQ0
>>61366482
>tech-thrash.
Watchtower-Control and Resistance or pretty much anything by Coroner
>>61366436
>>61366648
i fucking love this new thrash sound, it's sounds like thrash but also sounds very new and fresh
>>61366678
>black fast this year
>vhol this year
>new vektor next year
It's a good time for thrash.
>>61366457
Prog and power metal are for lame PUSSY nerds who don't actually like metal but think they do
>>61366648
I love the modern thrash stuff. Some bands get a bit too much on the nostalgia but overall i'm big on supporting those bands. I remember being at a gig a few years back and some 16-17 year old kids were playing and to us old guys there it was like hearing something from a time machine. We were like "holy shit. it's 1986 again". It was a blast
>>61366727
But anon, 2015 metal AOTY is literally a power metal album, and I don't even listen to much power in the first place, I'm a death/thrash/black guy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jga5sTQ6lAU
>>61366767
Is 2015 the year of underdog metal? Thrash, heavy prog, and power metal are topping my AOTY lists and I generally consider those genres the weakest.
Good trash is yet to die
HeXeN for example is top shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku8t-6KjZVw
>>61366767
How can you even consider any other Power Metal album as AOTY when Blind Guardian, the objectively best Power Metal band released an album this year as well.
>>61366977
Galneryus and Blind Guardian have always been neck in neck for best power metal band.
Under the Force of Courage is fucking fantastic.
>>61366678
I was saying that in 2010 about Gama Bomb, Evile, Bonded by Blood etc.
Is thrash always going to be in a revival phase now? I sorta got over it. It's still good but I just don't pay attention.
>>61367124
Thrash has become that one underground genre infested with lo-fi core nobody cares about that releases 2 ridiculously good albums every couple of years
the new wave of trash is aesthetically better now anyway
>>61366767
That album is shit and not worth listening to
>>61367150
Yeah. I sorta think it's because there's sorta a line between Thrash metal and Death/Black Metal and anything heavier then that, and that's why it died in the 90's, but also why it came back.
>>61367210
There was never a period where thrash died. It just became less popular and less saturated with bands, but the few bands that still make albums and the fresh new blood are really good.
the only dead metal genre is NWOBHM
>>61367252
Wrong, one of the best albums this year is NWOBHM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSm-jpx-dLw
>>61366648
>>61366767
>>61367275
>thrash, power, and NWOBHM are my AOTY
>in fucking 2015
I never thought it was possible but it's happening to me right now
fuck man these albums are great
>>61367412
Don't forget melodeath, the underdog genres are making a return.
>>61367275
Still not quality. Those put on vocals kill it.
You need a tougher vocalist not some lanky high-voiced beta.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02hdTe_rSZU
get some algy ward up your arse
>>61367432
And gothic prog
About 1992
Oh boy, oh boy, I've been waiting for a thrash thread! Most of the new wave bands have gone underground - one just has to search a little.

this is the reason thrash was dead by the nineties. none of Megadeth's or Metallica's 90s releases can be considered thrash metal
>>61368290
Rust in peace
You think that thrash died, because you hardly know any thrash. Listen to Kreator, Sodom, Tankard, and Destruction. They're still pumping out excellent thrash albums.
Municipal Waste is pretty good.
Lich King is still around
The vocalist quit but they're getting a new one

Fuck yeah, Vektor, I caught them at the bar Phish got started playing at in Burlington VT a couple years ago with Dying Fetus, I think. Holy shit they kicked ass.
Anybody like Seventh Angel here? I love their cold sounding heavy as fuck sound. The reunion album was good but didn't sound a thing like the old shit.
>>61366062
mi negro, Overkill has the best discography in any thrash metal band, they neve disappoint
>>61369194
Slayer is American, you idiot.
>>61369655
And Show No Mercy is nothing more than fast heavy metal.
>>61366062
this is good?

no shit, slayer is a metal band.
Thrash is still alive and well in the underground
