Whos the best in thrash metal?

Is there such a thing as prog thrash?

Master of Puppets is kinda prog thrash. How about Victims of Deception by Heathen? That's kinda prog thrash. Were Watchtower thrash enough to be included? Probably not.

Siegbran mentions Impiety upthread. What's a good Impiety album? The metal show on our local college station played a great track by them the other night, can't remember what it was called or even really what it sounded like, just remember one really cool riff and me telling myself "remember Impiety."

Dark Angel's Time Does Not Heal to me is one of the epitomes of brutal thrash. Relentless from start to finish.

Also, Darkane seconded. Probably the best modern thrash around.

Skullfucking Armageddon is the Impiety album to get, the debut (from 96) isn't very good and the later ones are great but a lot more death metal.

While their discography is less extensive than a lot of the others, Death Angel have never put out a bad album, and most of their records are great or pretty damn close.

Not the best by any means, but I've really enjoyed this new and young Metal Blade act called Hatchet. They're from the Bay Area and totally sound like it. http://www.myspace.com/hatchet2006

anyone interested in a guide to polish thrash metal? http://www.thrashunlimited.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8487&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=0

How about Victims of Deception by Heathen?

I somehow missed the boat on Evile, but I like them more than most of the retro-thrash of today than I've heard.

this to me sounds like stuff Metallica coulda done after Justice had they not soiled themselves.

Yeah. I can hear that

new Mekong Delta is good as well but it's kinda James Horner-y at points

This is pretty old now, but I've really been digging the Hypnosia album Extreme Hatred originally released in 2000. I guess it's retro-thrash but it doesn't really sound like any other thrash I've heard. It's pretty fast but also kinda raw and crude with over-the-top evil vocals.

I could just listen to this on repeat.

why does every form of extreme metal (esp thrash/death) that is Brazilian just rule?

Nervosa
Sarcofago
Grave Desecrator
Vulcano
Sepultura
Holocausto
Raebelliun
Krisiun

who else?

idk what it is but it's like the St Bernardus Abt 12 of metal for me

Disagree with your general statement but agree that Sepultura, Nervosa, and Krisiun all rule. Listening to the new Nervosa album right now and it kicks ass. I've been a fan all along, and even though they're down to one original member, she's clearly got a vision, because there have been no radical changes to their sound, which is good.

I agree that Brazilian thrash is awesome, and it'd be a steady part of my metal diet if I wasn't fonder of other subgenres.
