New to /mu and I haven't heard nearly half of the albums you post here, but every time I see one, I listen to it and they're amazing. My favourite genre is thrash metal, so can anyone rec me some essentials?

Wow thanks, that's a lot of catching up I have to do!
>>65533513
That's some pure thrash, very nice.
>>65533513
i highly recommend from that list, demolition hammer and acrophet. 2 bands that are the best of the best, but never got the attention they deserved. start with them if i was you, it will expand your listening potential, and the discographies are rather small so it wont take too long.
>>65533574
Thanks, any others from the list I should prioritize?
>>65533585
depends what kind of thrash you prefer. are you a fan of the big 4 style? or the oldschool underground? dark and evil? or technical new wave style? groovy, or messy. its really hard to define the genre of thrash into all these suubgenres, howver i can tell you right now. the best generic starters would be:
testament (the Legacy album)
Overkill (Years of decay album)
nuclear assault (survive album)
Angelus Apatrida (Clockwork Album)
Havok (time is up Album)
but definitely still check out demolition hammer and Acrophets full discographies.
>>65533669
I like it when it's got some good fast clean solos like in Hangar 18 by Megadeth, and I like Slayer, but anything heavier isn't my thing as much. I'll check those out
>>65533669
Oh wait I also realized you haven't got Lich King on there. Check out their van halen cover and their "toxic zombie onslaught" album
>>65533733
my bad, lich king should definetely be in there. this is gona sound super sperg lord but i used to play video games with the guys from lich king, back when minecraft was a thing.
>>65533748
You knew them? Wow damn. Also check out Blind Guardian, their first couple of albums were really good.
And they claim summer isn't real.
NEO-THRASHERS OUT
Blind guardian are pretty cool. Wouldn't call em thrash. But they are cool as fuck nonetheless. You may want to check out some power metal stuff. Just YouTube power metal playlist or someshit and you'll find some cool stuff. From what I can gather you enjoy the cleaner, more precise style of thrash metal, where it's not to overboard but still keeps the heavier aspect.
>>65533802
No, not new, just from /r9k. Just cringe. :(
>>65533828
>from /r9k/
Then yes you are new unless you were posting since Robot9000 (protip: you weren't).
>>65533847
Kek.
>>65533271
came here to post this desu
>>65533802
I wish the sticky had more emphasis on where to discover music on your own rather than just a footnote.
>spoonfeeding
>>65533890
I wish janitors would get permabans on people for chart, RYM, last.fm, tumblr (RIP), meme and "rec" (subtle and overt) threads. It would remove 99% of the cancer aching this board.
>>65533922
I agree, but then there woul only be like 30 people left and half of them would be from /metal/
>>65533945
Better than the state of the board now, it's better to have a smaller amount of people having directional discussion than a catalog with 149 threads of "So where do I go from here?" "Is this their best?" "Any more recs?" "What does /mu/ think of?" "Why can't we like X?" etc.
>>65533983
I agree. I'd rather discuss an album or an artist in depth with a group of people also passionate about the topic at hand. I'm happy to give people recommendations, but like you say not 149 instancise of the same shit.
Threads lack any integrity these days. An I really fucking hate last.fm.
>>65534067
All the social media/ music boasting website threads are always terrible, as it's another form of circlejerk about being "patrician". In all honesty if one can't defend why they think an album is "patrician" they should never use that phrase (well they shouldn't use it to begin with as CLT started it as a joke like he did with tope).
>>65534094
I don't even know what your talking about. I just come here to see if I Can find a decent /metal/ thread every few days. The most social form of media I associate with is cd vinyl and tape trading groups in my city.
>>65532895
why does everything in that shitty genre try so hard to be edgy?
>muh blood and severed heads and skulls
>music
>>65534158
I mean the typical "general" threads on /mu/ about social media sites (RYM/ Daily/ Last etc). They encourage to either listen to music as obscure as possible to one up people or to listen to the same music as everyone else to not appear different and lose "patrician" status".
>>65534185
Oh Ye I get what your saying. It currently seems to be the atmosphere fad.
>>65534175
What is theatrics and hyperbole?
>>65534185
>>65534250
If I'm not making sense it's probably because I'm currently plugged in at hospital on every drug they have. But I get what your saying.
>>65534175
To keep guys like you out. discounting BM, almost none of the the metal bands advocate anything they sing about, nor do metal fans take the lyrics seriously.
>>65534175
>complaining about being edgy
>being this edgy
>>65534279
Don't tell him you idiot, metal is the only genre neo-hipsters/pseudo-hipsters haven't ruined.
>>65534272
Get well soon, it's probably not good fpr your health to go on /mu/ if you're in hospital you may get an aneurysm from the idiocy of thid board.
>>65534300
tell that to black meal fans. from cradle to deafhaven, they got fucked the most.
>>65534175
It's like when life sucks and you feel alone and empty, you chuck on some metal and life is better, because someone else knows the pain And rage that your going through.
>>65534324
Black Metal has been shitty since Varg ratted out his friends to get attention so who cares about that rotting carcass.
>>65534316
Fucking lol.
I should be fine. /metal/ is my happy place, just have to leave before the atmo-fags turn up.
>>65534351
Define black metal then?
>>65534391
Early Kreator, Meryful Fate, early Sodom, early Slayer. 2nd wave was ok up until the Varg Incident. Anything after is trash.
>>65534418
All helped birth black metal il give you that.
Genre essential GOD tier:
Aspid - Extravasation
Fucking amazing album by a one hit wonder Russian thrash band, wish I could find copies of the actual physical, LP or CD
>>65534489
In my opinion Low Fidelity Death Metal (like Sarcofago), Death/Black (like Destroyer 666) and Blackened Thrash (like Sabbat) are the best forms of BM post-Varg incident).
>>65534563
Destroyer 666 is a band I only recently found. Turns out they are playing at my local bar in a few weeks so I'm gonna go see them. From the albums I've heard I've been very impressed
>>65534563
Goatwhore
Witchery
Nifelheim
Bal sagoth
More bands with black influence that work great.
