2. Metal Church - Same
3. Arch Enemy - Black Earth
4. Dark Tranquillity - Mind's I
5. At the Gates - Slaughter of The Soul
6. Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
7. The Haunted - ...Made me Do it

It may sound funny, but I think I began listening to death-metal before thrash-metal, maybe Napalm Death before Metallica or Slayer. Even nowadays, I'm more interested in death-metal than in thrash-metal. Well, at least, I would rather listen to tech-death than retro-thrash!

I agree with Hughes, much better to call it the extreme metal thread. Most "heavy metal" fans don't dig these genres too much except the more accessible side of thrash and doom. I am a big fan of thrash metal and late 80s- mid 90s death metal. There may be others here who can put me to shame with how much they have explored these genres but for all it's worth, here are some thrash gems that anybody who likes thrash should check out if they haven't already:

Rigor Mortis - Rigor Mortis

Forbidden - Forbidden Evil

Hypnosia - Extreme Hatred

Torture Squad - Pandemonium

Fastkill - Infernal Thrashing Holocaust

Torture - Storm Alert

Artillery - By Inheritance

I would mention Morbid Saint but their popularity in internet circles has shot up so much recently that it seems redundant to talk them up anymore.

Turning to death metal now,

Gorement - The Ending Quest

Seance - Saltrubbed Eyes

Bloodstone - Hour of The Gate

Nunslaughter - Hell's Unholy Fire

Deathevokation - The Chalice of Ages

Massacra - Final Holocaust

It's possible you are aware of these albums already, in that case I don't in any case claim to be a know-it-all. Please note that the recommendations are not given from the point of view of "Prog" but from the point of view of "extreme metal". So, many of these albums will be raw, visceral and not high on technicality or even differentiation but a hardcore fan of extreme metal will doubtless dig these albums. Smile

Rename it the "Extreme Metal Appreciation Thread" Smile

Oddly enough, we don't think there ever was a big thread about all, just topics on particular bands.

I think many regulars here are well aware of me being a metal fan... never been big on power metal (probably only about 1 or 2 bands in the genre I regularly listen too) and the more more melodic metal genres, but always more of a fan of the extreme metal genres.

I love listening to the stuff, and playing it on guitar too, and hopefully I will start my own/join an extreme metal band a few years down the track.

Well i see many threads of certain prog specific genres and when i start to hear (again) Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness i decide to start a thread of this wonderful, great music.

Maybe the mayority of PA fellow members will dislike this kind of music, but that's the reason to be here in General Music Discussions.

So, i will start with mi first Thrash and recently rename maybe prog metal, album and that is Metallica, Ride The Lighting, a great album by all means.

The tracks that use to hear in those days (1984-88) was the fastest ones like Fight fire with fire and Trapped under Ice, with special mention to Creeping Death.

And then a whole world open when, along with Prog (my main music like), i found many heavy as hell bands, like Nuclear Assault, Venom, Sodom, Kreator, Destruction, Overkill, Anthrax, Slayer,Megadeth, Acid Reign, Sacred Reich, Exodus, Testament, Suicidal Tendencies, Death Angel, Dark Angel, Morbid Angel, etc.

So, please opinions and share of this kind of music. Wink
