Hello fellow thrashers! I'm assuming you guys are like me and are constantly searching out new and awesome bands, but sometimes it can get difficult branching out and finding them. So my idea for this thread was to try and compile a list of awesome bands to use as a reference for discovering new bands, from a little obscure, to the ones that are straight 3000 feet underground, signed or unsigned, black or death metal, hair or thrash anything goes, even an insane hairy deadly blackened thrash metal band from China, its cool. Heres a few that I've always liked, feel free to add more of the same or different;
Annihilator-schizos(are never alone) *note* First album, Alice In Hell, is one of my favorite thrash albums ever, rest is crap
Accept-Metal HeartCheck out dimmu borgirs cover, great stuff right there
Brocas Helm-Cry of the banshee
Amon Amarth-pursuit of vikings
Arsis-The Face of My innocence
Arthemesia-blade circle
Blotted Science-Synaptic plasticity*note*Alex websters side project for the uninformed
Cacophony-Savage Jason Becker=god
Dark Angel-merciless death
Death-Nothing is Everything OK, i know fairly well known band but to any newcomers to the genre this is a must know band, and Steve Digiorgios bass on this album, this song in particular is amazing, see :50 second mark. Oh yeah, my favorite band.(can you tell?)
Death Angel-Thrown to the Wolves
Decapitated-spheres of madness
Destruction-Bestial invasion
Dissection-Maha Kali/Nights Blood2 songs, 2very different styles, 1 Awesome band, by far my favorite Black Metal band
Emperor-cosmic keys to my creation and times
Enthroned-the antichrist summons the black flame
God Dethroned-Nocturnal
Gorod-disavow your god
Hellish Crossfire-night of the possesed
Immortal-withstand the fall of time
Impelletteri-17th century chicken pickin
Imperanon-memories to dust
Iron Maiden-Phantom of the opera*note* yes I said iron maiden but I don't think alot of people know pre-dickinson maiden, and dare i say, number of the beast and on are all awesome, but i actually listen to the self titled and killers album more, classic tracks that aren't nearly as well known.
Kalmah-tordah
Kreator-betrayer/ enemy of god they get 2 just cause they are kreator
Lazarus A.D.-Thou shall not fear
Love Fist-love fist furyYeah I went there
Mercyful Fate/King Diamond-Satans Fall/Waiting
Metal Church-fake healer
Morbid Angel-The gate/lord of all fever
Necrophagist-only ash remains
Norther-death unlimited
Obscura-the anticosmic overload *note* one of the best bassists in modern metal. period.
Old Mans Child-demons of thorncastle
Racer X-viking kong*note* Paul Gilbert=genius
Ragnarok-stabbed by horns
Sacrifice-turn in your grave
Savatage-midas knight
Stone-no commands
Suffocation-beggining of sorrow
Testament-cotlod/Alone in th Darkwow, seriously one of the best bands of the 80's decade, and one of the seriously most underrated of all time, the fact that the "big 4" aren't the big 5 with Testament is a complete travesty, if you haven't heard them and are a fan of megadeth, slayer, metallica, and anthrax, you may mess your pants. (IMO, if Testament was to replace Anthrax in the upcoming big 4 show, I wouldn't miss them at all...)
Venom-Invalid Link Removed Were the first to start yelling about Satan at break neck speeds, even if live they sounded like their instruments were wild animals they were barely keeping under control. Thank them for everything from Slayer to Obscura. Respect
Wintersun-beyond the dark sun the only band to come close to touching the awesomeness of Children of Bodoms style of rockin, shreddin, melodic blackened death metal.
Yngwie fookin Malmsteen-Trilogy sweet opus 5FEEL DA FOORY!
