	Thrash metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thrash metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music, one of the extreme metal subgenres, that is characterised by its high speed and aggression.
		The origins of thrash metal are generally traced to the late 1970s and early 1980s, when a number of bands began incorporating the sound of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal[1] with elements of hardcore punk (in particular its drum tempoes), creating a new genre and developing into a separate movement from punk.
		Thrash guitar solos are almost exclusively played at high speed, as they are usually characterised as shredding, and use techniques such as sweep picking, legato phrasing, alternate picking, string skipping, and two-hand tapping.

		The origins of thrash metal are generally traced to the late 1970s and early 1980s, when a number of heavy metal bands began incorporating speed metal's extreme speed into traditional metal melody and riffs.
		Thrash metal developed in the mid 1980s to split into many subgenres and influence a lot of bands like Death and Possessed.
		Some bands combined speed metal and thrash metal, like the aforementioned Megadeth, and also Helstar, Testament, and Heathen were known for their flashy lead guitar work.

	Bay Area thrash metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bay Area thrash metal, or "Bay Area Thrash", referred to a steady following of heavy metal bands in the 1980s who formed and gained international status in the San Francisco Bay Area, California.
		Many have attributed this scene as the starting point of thrash metal and early-stage death metal.
		Oakland thrash metal band Vio-lence, for instance, would dissolve, leading guitarist Robb Flynn to form and front Machine Head, which would help popularize the groove metal genre (sometimes referred to as "neo-thrash", "half-thrash", or "post-thrash").

	Ultimate Metal Reviews - Returning To The Roots: Thrash Metal
		The '80s proved to be a glorious decade for metal, as many of these thrash metal bands were pushed in the spotlight and each released its share of classics.
		All three bands have something in common with the term "comeback", they were all at one point playing thrash metal and had gradually abandoned their style only to return to their roots eventually.
		However, be it the lack of metal exposure in the '90s or the fact that the line-up wasn't well received by the hardcore fans, this reincarnation didn't have much success.

	reviews on death and thrash metal albums and demos - from Metal Side Webzine
		Biogenesis music is a good blend of melodic thrash metal (the dominant style), doom metal and additional progressive elements, which are not easy to label.
		On the map of different thrash metal styles Ennuis' music would be located close to border with the land of death metal.
		The elements of that more violent form of metal aren't strong enough to wonder if Ennuis is still a thrash metal act, but they are audible and diversify the material.

		Speed metal: the fast, percussive, muffled-strum, hardedged slam music of the early eighties as a society died in its own lack of hope.
		Based on older metal both vocally and harmonically, speed mnetal nevertheless evolved to a structural understanding similar to 1970s progressive rock bands.
		Often called "thrash" or "thrash metal", speed metal music is defined by its percussive heavy metal roar.

	Metal Side - reviews - Death and Thrash Metal
		Aggressive and brutal Death Metal riffing is mixed with melodic passages that remind rather of Doom/Death Metal.
		Orthodox Death Metal fans will feel less comfortable hearing mid-paced and slow parts as well as the vocals which are traditionally Black Metal-oriented, so dark but not shrieking what unfortunately has become a standard for Scandinavian Black Metal.
		That’s one of the strangest Death/Black Metal releases of 2004.

	Thrash and "Thrash Metal" Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Madness of music turned against itself like the disintegration of sense into military industrial suicide in the 1980s, thrash churns up primal angst with short simple blasting songs and charged post-hardcore anticontrol emotion.
		Formed of blisteringly fast hardcore and metal riffs, this music resisted society and suggested through straightforward logic and basic songs that another way must be found.
		Thrash and its next generation carryover, grindcore, are more humanitarian than death or fl metal.

	Thrash metal - The Heavy Metal Scene
		The origins of thrash metal are generally traced to the late 1970s and early 1980s, when a number of bands began incorporating the sound of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal with elements of hardcore punk, creating a new genre.
		Some suggest that Motörhead's Overkill LP (1979) would give the name to a New York band that would write what is often considered the first thrash metal song in 1981: "Unleash the Beast Within".
		This release saw the band once again thrash metal territory (simmilarly to their two previous releases: Fistfull of Metal and Spreading the Disease) with fast and heavy guitars and punding drums.

		Speed and Thrash Metal were especially becoming highly popular amongst youngsters during the later half of the ´80s.
		That was a real pity for many Finnish Speed/Thrash Metal bands ´coz many of them deserved to record their full-length debut albums back in those ´good and old Speed/Thrash days´ as many of them had already more than proven to be very promising and talented bands on their demos.
		It was kind of cool to notice that some of those speed freaks and thrash bangers who happened to be members of some Speed/Thrash Metal bands in the later half of the ´80s, had also become members of some new Speed/Thrash bands during the new millennium.

	The Unsung Heroes Of Thrash Metal \| Guitar Columns @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
		Testament, the San Franciscan quintet, broke onto the thrash scene in 1987 with there debut The Legacy [The band were titled Legacy as they emerged from the Bay Area in the early 80’s but later changed name to Testament] which made waves among many metal fans, mainly due to its intense speeds.
		Some of the best thrash, by the way, came out during the Grunge era of the early nineties, but was ignored by radio because...well, thrashers have discovered that flannel is not good mosh pit wear.
		Thrash metal is basically playing metal fast, while speed metal retains the melody of heavy metal.

		METAL SIDE: You were one of the pioneers of Thrash Metal.
		Whereas the entire thrash and crossover genre was just steam rolling over all the classic stuff back then, these days it's only particular bands that seem to be poking through in their own direction.
		I gained a ton of respect for Cannibal Corpse watching their latest DVD where they were filmed while recording in the studio (I still am coming to terms with the vocals, heh heh).

		This is the type of metal that got me interested in Metal in the first place, which is a common occurrence.
		Since then they have changed styles of metal, from thrash to alternative in the mid 90s, to nu-metal on their 2003 album "St. Anger." James Hetfield, Dave Mustain, Lars Ulrich, and Cliff Burton made up the origonal linup.
		Metallica are generally known to continuously surprise fans, changing metal genres, and even playing with a full symphony in 1999, and not worrying what people will think of them because of it.

	Speed Metal and "Thrash Metal" Reviews
		Heavy metal grew up after hardcore and got faster, borrowing the more interesting ideas from the 1970s prog-rock explosion to make poetically convoluted song structures and thunderous, socially-abrasive riffing.
		While speed metal is not a focus of this site, we hail to the ancestors who brought structuralism and strumming technique to underground metal.
		In the collision of extreme hardcore and the NWOBHM riffmasters, speed metal was spawned and with it the rising death/fl metal family of techniques.

		A thrash band banging heads on the east coast of the United States during the late 80's, Oblivion released three demos and played a handful of live shows before breaking up in 1992.
		But circa 1988, Oblivion was pure thrash beholden to Slayer, with some hints of Suicidal Tendencies and even a bit of proto-death metal.
		And though they never forgo the galloping riffs and percussive attitudes of classic thrash, it is obvious that Oblivion were slowly evolving into something greater.

	Metallica Band: Thrash/Speed Metal
		Metallica must be considered one of the most well-known metal bands ever, with their work in the 80's in particular receiving accolades as amongst the finest metal works ever recorded.
		And it did not disappoint -- arguably one of the first true thrash albums, it jumpstarted a thrash scene that would last for years to come.
		With each succeeding release their popularity grew, and with the release of 1986's Master Of Puppets (one of the most popular thrash albums of all time), it was clear that it would only be a matter of time before true worldwide fame would be theirs.

	Metal Reviews - Metal Coven Webzine - Metal Reviews - Hokum - No Escape
		I don't know what it is, but lately there's been more than a few great Thrash bands that sound like they would have been at home making this music back in the mid to late 80's, and Hokum is no exception.
		The drums are beautifully played and fans of bands that like Metal albums that focus on the bass will be pleased to know that "No Escape" has quite a few breakdowns that involve the bass acting as the sole instrument being played.
		This Death vocal style blends amazingly well with the Thrash aspect of the rest of their music and actually adds a little more "punch" to the music that a Thrash vocal style probably could not accomplish.

		Malstrom focus all efforts on creating dark melodic thrash that recalls the greatest moments of new wave and the bay area sounds of the early 80s.
		With this new EP the band have really hit their stride, creating a wonderful blend of old and new, bringing to fruition a new thrash sensation that will hopefully be hitting the airwaves once the full length album is complete.
