(New Wave Of British Heavy Metal) adding more aggressiveness taken from Punk Rock and Hardcore Punk. Bands such as Motorhead, Misfits, Judas Priest, Angel Witch, Discharge, Diamond Head, Venom are cited among the main influences for the creation of the genre, musically characterized by accelerated drum rhythms with aggressive but at the same time technical riffs, lyrically they are mostly emphasized in criticism about society, religion and politics.

@@ΧρηστοςΡηγας-ζ3σ Nice Top!! 👌🤘
Nice ranking. I would say that there are still some missing but even so it could be fine. Metal Forever 🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻🎸
Thank you so much!! 🤟🤟
Back again in my century. Great time, great bands, great living
@@torstenhubener3805 That's right... Greetings! 🤘
I would have picked the same without CelticFrost and Pantera (Holy Terror and Violent Force in my list). The order is personal matter... However: great taste and knowledge! And beautiful photos!
@@g.v.pag.8400 Pantera and Celtic Frost are The controversial point in this Top and almost out, anyway i glad You like the another ones and The Photos, Thank You very much and thanks for your comment, greetings!!
Your #1 choice made me smile, Overkill are too often overlooked. Definitely one of the best.
Fantastic list, though I would have found space for Venom, and Mortal Sin. (1980’s Mortal Sin, not their modern reincarnation)
@@koputai Thanks for your comments, Overkill one of the best bands in Metal, Mortal Sin are excellent too, there are many bands it's hard to pick just 35 i could have chosen 100 bands
I have met the members of Overkill like 20 years ago - they were easily the biggest assholes in real life that i have ever met. The singer was a cool dude, but not the rest of them.
Nice list. Mine would have mostly the same bands, except Pantera and Celtic Frost for example as they don't seem thrash in my opinion. I would pick in my list some bands which are not here like Hirax, Toxik, maybe Pyracanda, Attomica and Korzus.
I thought the same way and those bands almost out from my Top but at the last minute changed my Mind, Pantera came from Glam era to a Groove band in between those times it was Thrash. Besides Celtic Frost is considered a strong influence in The birth of Black and Death Metal but for me they were in the Thrash movement too in my opinion
Good choice ! I would add Sadus, Demolition hammer and Incubus (Opprobrium) !! 😈😈🤘🤘 And Hirax, Zoetrope, Acid Reign and Holy Moses !!
@@Jerome-xk6nr There are so many bands to include, it could be a Top 100 easily... Thanks for comment!!
Incubus aren't thrash. They're nu-metal.
@@michaellazor5667 I think we don't speak about the same band : the serpent temptation (1989) and beyond the unknown (1990) from Incubus were really thrash (with death metal elements) ! The band splited and they had to change their name (Opprobrium) later because a new band was called incubus too...
Sepultura 👌👌👌👍👍👍
@@petrlips1284 The Best from Brazil!!
Glad Sepultura was in the mix but top 5 for sure (max and Igor)🤘
Nice list mate 👍I have Destruction as my #1 then Slayer then take ya pick
Thanks man!! Destruction and Slayer are killer bands!! Thanks for comment!
I agree
Great list my 10 favorite bands In no particular order would be
Exodus
Dark Angel
Sodom
Kreator
Destruction
Sadus
Slayer
Sepultura
Sacrifice
Demolition Hammer
Nice Top, Thanks for comment!!
Nice list, I went to highschool with sadus and autopsy (not on your list) 😮
Some of these bands are nothing to do with actual THRASH METAL!!
But, some will always be part!
@@christianjackson9360 I like the classic Thrash more!! 🔥 Thanks for comment!!
Absolutely solid list. Great reference material for any thrash lovers and new fans to explore.

Шикарная подборка 🤘
I love Xentrix and Exhorder! Two of my favourites.
@@hancock1934 excelent bands!! Xentrix is on My honorable mentions list, thanks for comment!!
Was gonna say Where's Xentirx!? 🤣👀
@@ehdrootofbeard4411 is in My honorable mentions list
I totally agree with OVERKILL in that number one slot. Atrophy, forbidden, razor, and artillery would all be in my top ten. Viking, sentinel beast, znowhite, sanctuary, demolition hammer and detente would also be on my list.
@@chrisbrewer47 Thanks!! The bands you mention are awesome too!! Greetings! 🤘
Rad list of heavyness! Also check out these coupla of Alberta,Canada thrash bands.WMD(when minds develop) and Hazzerd,both OG Calgary’s finest.
@@kelseyadams7987 Thanks for comment!! And i'll check the Canadian bands you recommend!! 🤘🤘
You mean in Calgary???really wow.
I know Montreal number one,Toronto,Vancouver well to some extend.
But the cow field town i had no clue that even one guy was actually playing guitar there that knew more than 3 chords.
My cousin lives there and work at concert venues King Diamond had to cancel his concert with""Overkill""as opener because it sold 437 tickets only.
Very nice list, Overkill and Metallica are on their right place. I put Flotsam in the first ten, their latest album is supergreat.
Flotsam is excellent!! Thanks for comment!!
From Central and Eastern Europe: Bedlam, Beyond, Slogan, Moby Dick, Atomic, Barbed Wire, Remorse (Hungary), Wolf Spider, Acid Drinkers (Poland), Masztyer, Shah (Russia). Massacra and Aggressor from France, Evil Sinner from Belgium, Poltergeist and Calhoun Conquer from Switzerland, Mekong Delta, Paradox, Holy Moses, Living Death, Accuser, Necronomicon and Vendetta from Germany, Dorsal Atlantica from Brazil.
There are so many good bands, definitely material to do a Top 100... Thanks For Comment!!
I love Hallows Eve's Death and Insanity I absolutely love the sound totally different and original and I also like Monument! After that they went back to their sound one their first album.
@@Ronald-mo3zp Good appreciation!! Thanks for comment!!
Metallica 🤘
They are our Lords of THRASH METAL!!
Without them, all we'd have then would be GRANITE ROCK music!
👍👏💪🤟❗🌝🤘@@christianjackson9360
@@christianjackson9360 Way overrated! They put out 4 great albums in the 80's and haven't released a thrash album since 1988.
Metallica the worst band of all
Grinder!!!🔥🔥🔥
Sacrifice from Canada constantly gets overlooked. They're better and just as good as a lot of these bands on this list imo.
And Sacrifice from Japan is good too
DBC, The Disciples of Power 🤘🏻Canada ay! Take off hoser
Good list. I'd have had Sabbat on there - best band I ever saw live.
I put Sabbat on my honorable mentions list! Great Band! Thanks for comment!!
Kreator,Sodom,👍👍👍

Slayer
Kreator
Testament
Sepultura
Exodus
great music we grew up to
@@rebeccarose8786 That's right!! 🤘
Nice list! I would put Metallica at Number one - Without them, Thrash Metal, or even Extreme Metal in general (if it existed) would be very different, at most, Thrash Metal bands would probably sounds more like Motorhead, Venom, or Accept, only -
And I would put Exodus at number two. But Overkill really deserves a special mention because besides being one of the pioneers, it is also the oldest.
I just wanted to add that some bands here In this list were never 100% totally Thrash Metal, but that's ok. Some were Thrash in some way but also something else, and others were something like almost Thrash. There are some bands here that were more Speed Metal, others besides Speed were even American Power Metal at the same time (!), others early Black/Death Metal, and others Crossover Thrash (which ok, were Thrash Metal, but ended up being part of the Punk movement too), and Pantera is Groove Metal, which had its origins mostly coming from Thrash. But that's ok, I'm not criticizing, just an observation and complementing the subject. Anyway, all the bands here have something of Thrash in one way or another, so it's not something "out of place".
@@danielwildeboer1382 You're right...Thank You very much for your appreciation, and i have in Mind to do a Speed Metal Top soon, thanks for comment, and check My Chanel for more... Greetings! 🤘🤘

@@marston4110 Pantera was the controversial in this top, i put it on that list at last minute cause in my initial top i didn't have it but for the relevance from Cowboys from hell i decide to put it, thanks for comment!! 🤘
pantera is not thrash

They play HARD ROCK COUNTRY music!!
The song hostile has trash elements
Yea someone allways mentions that, it's all metal and Pantera have lots of thrashy songs so let it be
@@Rocksemberactually Pantera are groove metal
Overkill is such an overlooked band … been a fan from the beginning …. Better than most … rotten to the core fucker !!!!

Почти всё было на виниле))) Согласен на 99%)))) 1 оставлю на расстановку позиций (если это имеет значение)
OVERfuknKILL!!!🤘
No Venom, who practically invented thrash metal? Anthrax went way down in my estimation when I heard 2 members made a cameo appearance in "Mama Mia"
@@mikedickens7957 Venom is a strong influence for The birth of Thrash but i don't considere it Thrash for me is more Speed and NWOBHM, anyway thanks for comment!!
Venom is motorhead darker.
In the 80s we had Wasp then Metallica Kill em All,then Megadeth,Exodus,Overkill,Sodom,Destruction,Kreator,ect.
Anthrax no one cares much because of the too hard rock vocalist plus that bunch of midgets dressed in bermudas jumping around.
They were still openers in their heydays.
1990 opening for Maiden.
Now they are big because teens too lazy and suck at creating bands so the old timers get a second career and Anthrax can finally headline their concerts at 60 years old
SACRED REICH American way 🤘🤟🔥🔥
@@dwikydarmawan7093 🤘
I'm from Indonesia.
Suicidal Tendencies i like most until their album camera revolutions.. they have a great formation of band at the time i think.
@@aribabaTriCahyadi me too the classic ST is better, i invite You to check My Channel there is a ST Top i made a few days ago
Lights camera revolution was their best album.

@@martinjonas3069 Nice Top!!
Mordred!!!🔥🔥🔥
Good and underrated Band
@@Rocksember 💯💯💯
FYI Pantera and suicidal tendencies aren't thrash.
Correct
Pantera and Sepultura are thrash metal bands. Groove metal is one of the most extreme thrash metal subgenres.
I would have Flots , Suicidal, and Pantera higher. Not sure if Pantera qualifies as thrash though.
Pantera more Groove but influential in Thrash
No mention of Mortal Sin.
I mention it on my honorable mentions list!!
Good list
Some are hardly HARD ROCK music instead of actual THRASH METAL!!
Demolition Hammer!!!🔥🔥🔥
Excellent Band!!
Assassin, Deathrow, Accuser , Acrophet, Demolition Hammer
@@laszloberzeviczi6976 there are so many bands that i could easily do a Top 100
@@laszloberzeviczi6976 Demolition Hammer!!!!🔥🔥🔥
Slayer with makeup and Bobby Blitz with blonde hair. Both of those pics freak me out.
+Metal Church
I never saw Metal Church as a thrash metal band. They are just straight out Metal.
@@foreverunsaved6661 D.R.I. and ST are not thrash metal bands too.
