I thought that most of them are pretty unknown, and for the sake of simplicity I didn't bother with any of the REALLY obscure stuff

ooops that's a really big list sorrrrrrry

I'm not talking about all the stuff that's being referenced in the new wave of thrash these days (Sodom, CF, Voivod etc) but rather the bands that no one seems to be talking about.

incase anyone missed it

Yeah, but I'm not listing every album by all those bands

it was just a list of bands that I've heard who are relatively/completely unknown, who are all quite good!!!! Feel free to ask me what individual bands/albums are like

Ban.

Why are people trying to revive discussion based on Thrash?

Shut up Iain and just get back to arguing with me about how shit bond is.

Running all the way.

This seems to be turning more into list Thrash bands other than Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth, Exodus, Slayer or Testament than "forgotten gems"

Yeah that is what i was thinking, we need some real kvlt and gr1m stuff.

Thrash is 10 per cent music, 90 per cent name-dropping.

Anyone who doesn't realise that is a poseur.

Watchtower really took thrash to new levels with their technicality yet they always seem to be overshadowed by the other bands.

i agree with what Tom said in another thread, most underground stuff is underground for a reason. I only listen to about 10 thrash bands at all now, if that.

It's "poser" Iain,as in "Wimps and posers,leave the hall"
only posers spell it "poseur"

"poser"'s the american spelling isnt it?
