idk if it really counts since it's a demo, but I think Mr. bungle's original 1986 demo, raging wrath of the Easter bunny, would've fit in the lo fi tier
For extreme thrash, I think an important note would be Repulsion. They definitely aren’t a thrash band, but their grind style is clearly heavily influenced by and heavily incorporates thrash, while most grind bands were pulling from hardcore more than thrash
Always happy when czech band is mentioned in any UA-cam video. Czech thrash metal bands to check: (early) Arakain, Debustrol, Törr, V.A.R., (early) Asmodeus, Kryptor, Sax, Crux, Assesor, Lahar, 1000 Bombě, Stolen Lives, Kaar, Laid to Waste, Murder Inc., Nahum, Bajonet, etc....
Power Trip was immensely popular in my local/regional hardcore scene. One time I went to a show about 120 miles away and there were FIVE guys who were not friends but all wearing the same outfit: Overalls with one suspender undone, Power Trip shirt, Vans shoes. I had multiple people tell me one of their favorite hardcore (?????) bands was POWER TRIP. I never wanted to lecture them on the differences between the genres because I was that dirty little metal head guy infiltrating the hardcore scene and didn't want to come off as a redditor. I have no clue why they were so popular in my local hardcore scene. I guess a lot of these kids (they were mostly 19-23 at the time) had never really HEARD Thrash before and didn't know what they were listening to, they just knew all their friends were listening to it too and assumed it was a faster offshoot of hardcore. Regardless, Power Trip is a killer band and when Riley passed I was just as distraught as anyone. I have to talk about Demolition Hammer, though. Easily my most listened to thrash band out there. Tortured Existence and Epidemic of Violence are just such solid albums. If you look at Time Bomb through an objective lens then it is also a really great album, but too groovy to be considered thrash. Still, every song is tight and well performed. The riffs and grooves are catchy as hell and their cover of Mongoloid is so fun to listen to and sing along to. Kinda disappointed that they announced their reunion and have done nothing but tour. I really wanna see what kind of new material they can produce and I think a new album from them would be well received. I can't listen to Voivod. I love Voivod, but just can't listen to them again yet. I had a friend who died from extreme alcoholism and months before he died we would hang out and cook food and listen to nothing but Voivod and Reverend Bizarre. It's been over three years but the memories are just too depressing to handle. Super hope I get over it soon because I miss Voivod's spooky vibes. Unrelated: I got banned from r/Metal and Black Metal Necroposting on Facebook because I was steadfast that Sarcofago is not black metal lol
I promise everyone you talked to knows the difference between thrash and hardcore. Power Trip is culturally a hardcore band. Best crossover of the last two decades, but culturally hardcore. The biggest Power Trip fans will be hardcore kids. They started playing hardcore shows in small venues, and they finished still doing that, never forgetting their roots. You seem to not be familiar with the scene they started in or their members. Perhaps it’s you who doesn’t totally understand the nuance of “hardcore.” Same goes for Iron Age.
Very good iceberg! When I saw that you mentioned working on a thrash metal iceberg, I was so hoping that you would add Morbid Saint to it. To my surprise you did, which I almost happen to find unbelievable because generally I've never heard anybody include them in any talk about extreme metal. Went through a bunch of thrash at the time and stumbled across them. Probably the most evil, menacing, deranged, sinister band out of every one of the bands I listened to. Just these groovy riffs, relentless drums, and insane, inhuman, demonic vocals.
I indirectly got into the Grindcore band "Gridlink" from this video since I loved Hayaino Daisuki that he mentioned cause I love that super abrasive fast shit and Gridlink is basically same singer same guitarist and a really fucking fast, tight drummer that I've known about for a little over a year now.
My Spotify library is about to be stacked. Some bands I didn't see mentioned that I enjoy include: Condition Critical, Nocturnal Fear, Excel, Korrosive, Sadus, and Tanator. I also came across the demo of Leviathan (their only release) and it kicks a lot of ass.
Have now found out something interesting about "Sadist" on Metal Archives. Sadist's guitarist used to play in a band called Checker Patrol with Euronymous.
Sabbat (Britain) definitely worthy of note too. "Dreamweaver" is a classic. Also an album I don't see mentioned too much is "Decameron" by Epidemic. Loved that album.
@@schillinger7814 oh nevermind then, just found it. By the way the British definitely deserved a mention but they're actually extremely hard to fit in the categories here, they're not quite complex, not quite speed metal but not extreme either. I'd put them with early Blind Guardian/Helloween or with the complex bands I guess
Great iceberg as usual! I'd add Depressive Age, Mekong Delta and Sieges Even to the second to last tier, all these bands are amazing. Will you do a Death Metal Lore iceberg ever?
Man you know it's a good list when I read the comments and I'd say the same thing as well. Have all the Depressive Age, Sieges Even and a good chunk of Mekong Delta discography
Definitely check out Poison from Germany from the mid 80’s. One of the best extreme thrash bands I’ve ever heard. Their demo (and album) called Into The Abyss has some vicious riffs and vocals
This was a great video! The only band I am most curious where you might rank in this iceberg would be Skeletonwitch. I love that band and they definitely melt a few different styles into their Thrash. Either way love this video and your content!
Awesome video! I've recently grown a bit tired of thrash and related subgenres but checked out some of the bands from the iceberg I wasn't familiar with nevertheless and I have to say: Syphilitic Vaginas, Hayaino Daisuki and Bad Acid Trip are some of the weirdest but also most fun metal bands I've listened to in a long time. Currently checking out Amboog-A-Lard and so far it also seems pretty solid. Would be awesome if you, or anyone reading this, could recommend some more hidden gems like these. If anyone is looking for more thrash here's a bonus tier - 2010s Thrash (my personal favourites from that decade): • Witches Hammer - Damnation Is My Salvation • Toxic Holocaust - Primal Future: 2019 • King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Infest the Rats' Nest • Mentor - Cults, Crypts and Corpses
I live in tier 5, you made my day with the last 3 bands there as those are among my fav releases ever. I lost a beautiful Syphilitic Vagina hoodie doing reserve tank training. Bands I expected to hear: Overkill, Bulldozer, Nocturnal (DE), Nailbomb. I'd say the entire Cogumelo catalog deserves a honorable mention. I have a good tier 7 band for you but I gotta watch the doom iceberg first, maybe you mention them there.
Tantara- Sum of Forces. What an album with great vocals and oh those riffs oooo the awesome riffs!! Headphones and ur left ear will be very happy with this short but killer album 🤘
Chile has a fantastic thrash scene. Quite technical and atmospheric whilst having that more brutal sound that Brazilian thrash is known for. I highly recommend demoniac and parkcrest if anyone hasn’t heard them.
It's more of just an album than a band really, but Deathrow - Deception Ignored for the technical stuff. Their other albums go different ways, but boy was this one attempt good.
Dude i love your videos I've watched almost all of them in the last 3 days and i discovered a lot of cool bands because of you. Keep doing what you're doing king
I'm glad to see Vektor on this list! They used to be my favorite band in the entire Metal genre (until I discovered Morbid Angel when I got more into Death Metal and then Dismember) and they for me have such a nice style to the Voivod sci-fi Thrash stuff that I think makes them unique, and I love them. I have all their full album cd's and Black Future and Terminal Redus t shirts. I love the vocals especially the whistle tone screams and man, they made F standard heavy!
the end of charging the void and recharging the void almost make me tear up because they’re so happy and beautiful, especially if you know what the story of terminal redux. just an amazing album one of my favorites. any metal band that includes genre switches or upbeat emotional sections makes them sit above the pack for me, probably why btbam is my favorite band check out colors if you haven’t.
@@corduroy3219 I'd say the best way of enjoying Terminal Redux is start to finish with the lyrics on the side. Impossible to miss the story. So yeah, I love them so much, bummer they didn't play Sweden on any recent EU tour. I was sorta able to vocal cover Recharging a few years back, but I ended up backing out and it's one of my biggest regrets cause today I've forgotten all the timing and it would take a long ass time to get it practiced again, but maybe that's a reason to actually go and do it simply for the challenge... I'm not really the biggest btbam fan, I'm much more of a Swedish Death Metal kinda guy, but I respect them as musicians.
Great list here! Thanks for making this video. Lich King's 'Born of the Bomb' album is a modern thrash classic. I don't care is they get silly with the lyrics, the music on that album is amazing. Another fantastic album that doesn't get enough attention is Guillotine's 2008 album 'Blood Money'. Absolutely brutal thrash metal.
Great also for some honorable mentions for this tier list: Tier 1: Annihilator Over Kill Sadus Artillery Mortal Sin Sacrifice Tier 2: Biohazard (Early) Agnostic Front Sworn Enemy Tier 3: Fueled By Fire HeXen Mortal Infinity Skeletonwitch Suicidal Angels Tier 4: Iron Angel Living Death SDI Tier 5: Witchery Deathhammer Power From Hell
What in God's name you did it again! Amboooogalard, it's like a boo sound. Dude haha, I used to live a few blocks from them, the first time I saw ANTHRAX at the button in Hallandale Florida, amboogalard opened. They were my south Florida underground metallica band. Love love love them, had their demo but lost it of course. They were so amazing live back in 90-91? They were like part of the big 4 but if you're from my area but I never found them anywhere and my demo is who knows where. Question, I'm grateful Spotify has two songs of them I just saw, but where did you find that album? I remember the demo was green but can't remember if it had a name other than amboogalard. So so so utterly impressed, thought industry was wild but you blew 😅 mind with amboogalard, my lost greatest band ever. Thanks for reviving them, and yes Manson was in this area too so the guitarist linked with them for a little and I believe that was the end for amboogalard, the underground south Florida version of metallica/ testament
Dude some of the best new Thrash Metal BANDS, mostly released in the new Millenium, that weren't in your video are: ARTILLERY [Denmark], BLISTERED EARTH [USA], HEXEN [USA] with especially their "State of Insurgency" & RAVAGE [USA)]and their album "The End of Tomorrow", Hallows Eve (USA) , HOLY TERROR (USA), PARADOX (Germany), INSANE [Italy], OVERKILL [USA], XENTRIX [U.K.], NEUROTOXIN [USA], MERCILESS [Sweden], REIGN OF FURY [U.K.], PIRANHA [Switzerland], REFORE [Czechia], DESULTORY [Sweden], HAZZERD [Canada], DEMONA [Chile], SURGICAL INVASION [Ukraine], TOXIC HOLOCAUST [USA], TRAITOR [Germany], S.D.I. [Germany], MORTAL SIN [Australia], TEUTONIC SLAUGHTER [Germany], ARMOR COLUMN [USA], POLLUTION [Serbia], WATCH THEM DIE [USA], ULYSSES SIREN [USA], SCANNER [Germany], DARK EMPIRE [USA], WARNING SIGN [USA], BLACK SEPTEMBER [USA], VECTOM [Germany], VENDETTA [Germany], AS HEART'S BLEEDING [Hungary], CONDUCTING FROM THE GRACE [USA], & DEATHBLADE [U.K.].
great list! do not forgot INFERNÄL MÄJESTY, VOOR and is NECRODEATH/GHOSTRIDER mentioned already? Also the very important is: POISON (GER), LIVING DEATH (HM Fanclub Velbert), etc...
sadist is dope as hell, I remember finding the 666 demo through a guy named "noise warfare" unfortunately I don't think his channel is around anymore but very cool
Oh nice you included Doom. I was on vacation in Japan the last 2 weeks and bought the "No More Pain" CD the moment I saw it. They also have a lot of Voivod in their sound.
Oh my goodness, never never never have I seen anyone shout out THOUGH INDUSTRY! saw them live about 5 years ago and wow so amazing and cool dudes. cheers for talking about them, I feel like they are the epitome of alternative extreme metal, especially on mods carve... duuuude when I start my channel after I get my therapy practice solid, I thought FOR SURE, I would be the person to mention thought industry first. Kudos Doctor Metal
Honestly being around the Cleveland and Akron metal and hardcore scene, I’m so disappointed I didn’t give Midnight a try especially since I don’t usually hear a lot of my friends talk about them. Great tier list
Another good mention alongside Ghoul would be Frightmare. It's basically the same sound, and they're very close to Impaled/Ghoul. Bringing Back the Bloodshed is an awesome album.
Cool video man, I'm digging the iceberg thing. One thing I will say as a person who grew up listening to like a lot of heavy metal, especially in the 80s and early 90s. I'm going off of when I got into this stuff. So please don't take it as if I'm pointing the finger at you in the wrong way.. First of all, a lot of those terms like black metal and even "death metal" were kind of used interchangeably within the confines of thrash metal At first, before it became a solidified sub genre , so even a band. Like venom or even early Slayer and sepultura may have been described as black metal or referred to themselves As that spme point before we got what we have today. Though a lot of that stuff was either known as thrash metal or speed metal. Back then, some of those descriptions have been described as the type of style that kind of metal was specifically by using such terms. Second , one thing i'm surprised that you didn't do was mentioned germany's Deathrow for the prog thrash section . They got even more complex in the 90s but their earlier stuff had the speed and changes as well. .the term Death trash was applied to bands like Slayer and Kreator back then as well. Because they were more darker than bands like anthrax or megadeth. Speaking of Death thrash bands , Sadus is awesome I love their pvet the top speed its brutal , relelentless, and full throttle - their later stuff was more on progressive style but still good. Come on man those guys kill haha anyways cool video.
Bottom of the ambient iceberg would be Un Chien by Vagina Dentata Organ or Schloss Tegal. Definitely would be a good concept though ambient is vague and vast
@@Jimmy-n6j you can't give a person a compliment on here, even on a metal channel without running into an imbecile commenting. Go back to the hole you came out of brother
I will never not love the low-quality EP artwork of underground thrash metal bands, where clearly one of the band members just picked up a pencil and started sketching random crossed and pentagrams etc
I love to see Cryptic Slaughter, Whiplash, Morbid Saint, Abigail and Syphilitic Vaginas on here. By the way, Toxic Holocaust and Abigail also have a crossover project called Tiger Junkies, who are excellent. I would add X Japan's Vanishing Vision and Blue Blood to tier 4 and Rosenfeld to tier 5. Rosenfeld is the most vicious thrash i've ever heard, they may need to be lower on the iceberg though, simply because of their image, which was actually ironic, but that was lost on a lot of people.
Yo, where's Pantera? We've had some crossover ad punk-influenced bands here - including Suicidal Tendencies, and I think it's impossible to have that discussion without 'Cowboys' and 'Vulgar Display'. I'm really curious why the band didn't make the list on the strength of these two albums alone :)
Kinda criminal you didnt bring up holy Moses when talking about the german scene. Also razor was only speed the first two albums the third was "speedthrash" but after that it was straight up thrash
Mad respect for talking about Aspid. It is worth noting that they formed and started writing it back in USSR time. It's a shame that people often compare them to US bands like Metallica or stuff like that, who at the time had Black album released, and these people say that Aspid were late for like 7-10 years. But in my opinion their music should better be compared to their prog contemporaries like Atheist, Cynic (demo days).
Pray tell, hast thou forgotten to recount the grand tale of Overkill hailing from the distant lands of New Jersey? Verily, they art oft dubbed amongst the ranks of the "big four that are not the big four."
Only thing missing are the basic bands like annihilator and overkill But this was an awesome deep dive into thrash and made me discover some new bands like doom Epic!
Riffobia, Grindpad, Warfect and Slaughtered Priest are my go tos! Vortex, Speedraiser, MindTaker, Hyades, Hazzerd and Toxic Holocaust are the shit as well!
Excel is a great crossover band, very punk influences like cro mags And for extreme thrash, Altar of sin from Spain would fit there perfectly, theyre deaththrash but the singer does these low growly vocals and the drummer does gravity blasts, wild shit. Also Chakal, sextrash, and Holocausto would fit there as well
other great "complex thrash" Bands are: Depressive Age Mekong Delta Antidote (the finnish band, best record imo is "Total") Flotsam and Jetsam (more like a mix between power/heavy/thrash and technical) Aftermath Obliveon

Sadus Chemical Exposure is by far the greatest thrash metal album I've ever heard. What a great video
I also would've put Morsure on here. Some really weird lofi drum machine thrash from the 1980s
Never heard of them

I think I like Illusions more

That album is right on the border between early death metal and early grindcore in my opinion, there are several parts that are almost straight OSDM.
It seems funny that you left out Overkill that would be a great addition to tier one but you would not have tier one with out venom
Always happy when czech band is mentioned in any UA-cam video.
Czech thrash metal bands to check: (early) Arakain, Debustrol, Törr, V.A.R., (early) Asmodeus, Kryptor, Sax, Crux, Assesor, Lahar, 1000 Bombě, Stolen Lives, Kaar, Laid to Waste, Murder Inc., Nahum, Bajonet, etc....

It's more of just an album than a band really, but Deathrow - Deception Ignored for the technical stuff. Their other albums go different ways, but boy was this one attempt good.
Was missing Deathrow, too! I also like their other, earlier stuff. Heavier but catchy
I been waiting for this since u started doing ice burgs
Dude i love your videos
I've watched almost all of them in the last 3 days and i discovered a lot of cool bands because of you.
Keep doing what you're doing king
Thanks for introducing me to some new thrash. I like a lot of these already but it's insane people sleep on some of these bands.
I'm glad to see Vektor on this list! They used to be my favorite band in the entire Metal genre (until I discovered Morbid Angel when I got more into Death Metal and then Dismember) and they for me have such a nice style to the Voivod sci-fi Thrash stuff that I think makes them unique, and I love them. I have all their full album cd's and Black Future and Terminal Redus t shirts. I love the vocals especially the whistle tone screams and man, they made F standard heavy!
the end of charging the void and recharging the void almost make me tear up because they’re so happy and beautiful, especially if you know what the story of terminal redux. just an amazing album one of my favorites. any metal band that includes genre switches or upbeat emotional sections makes them sit above the pack for me, probably why btbam is my favorite band check out colors if you haven’t.
@@corduroy3219 I'd say the best way of enjoying Terminal Redux is start to finish with the lyrics on the side. Impossible to miss the story. So yeah, I love them so much, bummer they didn't play Sweden on any recent EU tour. I was sorta able to vocal cover Recharging a few years back, but I ended up backing out and it's one of my biggest regrets cause today I've forgotten all the timing and it would take a long ass time to get it practiced again, but maybe that's a reason to actually go and do it simply for the challenge...
I'm not really the biggest btbam fan, I'm much more of a Swedish Death Metal kinda guy, but I respect them as musicians.
Hell yeah, my favorite subgenre of metal! Great video man!
so happy you included thought industry and demolition hammer, two very overlooked bands from the past
Great list here! Thanks for making this video. Lich King's 'Born of the Bomb' album is a modern thrash classic. I don't care is they get silly with the lyrics, the music on that album is amazing.
Another fantastic album that doesn't get enough attention is Guillotine's 2008 album 'Blood Money'. Absolutely brutal thrash metal.
Great also for some honorable mentions for this tier list:
Tier 1:
Annihilator
Over Kill
Sadus
Artillery
Mortal Sin
Sacrifice
Tier 2:
Biohazard (Early)
Agnostic Front
Sworn Enemy
Tier 3:
Fueled By Fire
HeXen
Mortal Infinity
Skeletonwitch
Suicidal Angels
Tier 4:
Iron Angel
Living Death
SDI
Tier 5:
Witchery
Deathhammer
Power From Hell
i feel like Anacrusis never gets enough love for how fucking good all their albums are
Its good to see you at your finest again its been a while my bro, much love
Still struggling to find anything that sounds like Epidemic of Violence by Demolition Hammer. The groove and aggression in the same time, damn
What in God's name you did it again! Amboooogalard, it's like a boo sound. Dude haha, I used to live a few blocks from them, the first time I saw ANTHRAX at the button in Hallandale Florida, amboogalard opened. They were my south Florida underground metallica band. Love love love them, had their demo but lost it of course. They were so amazing live back in 90-91? They were like part of the big 4 but if you're from my area but I never found them anywhere and my demo is who knows where. Question, I'm grateful Spotify has two songs of them I just saw, but where did you find that album? I remember the demo was green but can't remember if it had a name other than amboogalard. So so so utterly impressed, thought industry was wild but you blew 😅 mind with amboogalard, my lost greatest band ever. Thanks for reviving them, and yes Manson was in this area too so the guitarist linked with them for a little and I believe that was the end for amboogalard, the underground south Florida version of metallica/ testament
Dude some of the best new Thrash Metal BANDS, mostly released in the new Millenium, that weren't in your video are: ARTILLERY [Denmark], BLISTERED EARTH [USA], HEXEN [USA] with especially their "State of Insurgency" & RAVAGE [USA)]and their album "The End of Tomorrow", Hallows Eve (USA) , HOLY TERROR (USA), PARADOX (Germany), INSANE [Italy], OVERKILL [USA], XENTRIX [U.K.], NEUROTOXIN [USA], MERCILESS [Sweden], REIGN OF FURY [U.K.], PIRANHA [Switzerland], REFORE [Czechia], DESULTORY [Sweden], HAZZERD [Canada], DEMONA [Chile], SURGICAL INVASION [Ukraine], TOXIC HOLOCAUST [USA], TRAITOR [Germany], S.D.I.

great list! do not forgot INFERNÄL MÄJESTY, VOOR and is NECRODEATH/GHOSTRIDER mentioned already? Also the very important is: POISON (GER), LIVING DEATH (HM Fanclub Velbert), etc...
Great video dude! One tiny correction: Onslaught is a UK band, not a German one. Otherwise, great video!
That threw me off a little. I was hoping for a Vendetta shout out at that level. Their first two albums are top tier.
Was Living Death mentioned and I missed it?
Thx for turning me on to Vulture and Ranger btw.
I have been waiting for this
sadist is dope as hell, I remember finding the 666 demo through a guy named "noise warfare" unfortunately I don't think his channel is around anymore but very cool
Oh nice you included Doom. I was on vacation in Japan the last 2 weeks and bought the "No More Pain" CD the moment I saw it. They also have a lot of Voivod in their sound.
Because this is your latest video I'll say it here. Please make video on Les Legion Noires.
Oh my goodness, never never never have I seen anyone shout out THOUGH INDUSTRY! saw them live about 5 years ago and wow so amazing and cool dudes. cheers for talking about them, I feel like they are the epitome of alternative extreme metal, especially on mods carve... duuuude when I start my channel after I get my therapy practice solid, I thought FOR SURE, I would be the person to mention thought industry first. Kudos Doctor Metal
Honestly being around the Cleveland and Akron metal and hardcore scene, I’m so disappointed I didn’t give Midnight a try especially since I don’t usually hear a lot of my friends talk about them. Great tier list
Love the small extra shoutout to Solstice, their first two albums are such gems
Another good mention alongside Ghoul would be Frightmare. It's basically the same sound, and they're very close to Impaled/Ghoul. Bringing Back the Bloodshed is an awesome album.
You missed out two of the greatest Thrash records: "Artillery - By Inheritance" and "Heathen - Victims of Deception"
Terror squad by Artillery is also a great album
You should do a "Nu Metal" iceberg next!
Yay it’s here!!!!!!! Now we just need the hardcore punk iceberg😁😂🤘🏼🤘🏼
Without the goofy ass metalcore stuff? Yeah I agree
Cool video man, I'm digging the iceberg thing. One thing I will say as a person who grew up listening to like a lot of heavy metal, especially in the 80s and early 90s. I'm going off of when I got into this stuff. So please don't take it as if I'm pointing the finger at you in the wrong way.. First of all, a lot of those terms like black metal and even "death metal" were kind of used interchangeably within the confines of thrash metal At first, before it became a solidified sub genre , so even a band. Like venom or even early Slayer and sepultura may have been described as black metal or referred to themselves As that spme point before we got what we have today. Though a lot of that stuff was either known as thrash metal or speed metal. Back then, some of those descriptions have been described as the type of style that kind of metal was specifically by using such terms. Second , one thing i'm surprised that you didn't do was mentioned germany's Deathrow for the prog thrash section . They got even more complex in the 90s but their earlier stuff had the speed and changes as well. .the term Death trash was applied to bands like Slayer and Kreator back then as well. Because they were more darker than bands like anthrax or megadeth. Speaking of Death thrash bands , Sadus is awesome I love their pvet the top speed its brutal , relelentless, and full throttle - their later stuff was more on progressive style but still good. Come on man those guys kill haha anyways cool video.
Great content as always!
Was Overkill missed off this list? I swear I've looked and I just don't see them lol
Can we do Synth/Ambient Iceberg next?
Bottom of the ambient iceberg would be Un Chien by Vagina Dentata Organ or Schloss Tegal. Definitely would be a good concept though ambient is vague and vast
In that case,guess we’ll see emit in the bottom once again.
I’m sure it’s a fine genre but I can confidently say 99.999999999% of the world does not care.
Great work. What are your thoughts on Vader? Quite difficult to categorize. Extreme thrash?
death metal retard
You should do an iceberg about metal concerts or something similar, seems like an interesting iceberg idea
Great vid! I'll look into some of these bands.
Brother... you are so articulate and make metal sound so poetic, please write a book on it
alan you have some brown stuff on your nose Brother
@@Jimmy-n6j I appreciate your kindness in noticing the intricacies of my nose brother. I see you are preoccupied with it yes or yes?
@@Jimmy-n6j you can't give a person a compliment on here, even on a metal channel without running into an imbecile commenting. Go back to the hole you came out of brother
One thrash metal band you forgot on the big thrash iceberg is overkill
I was hoping you mention Sacrifice alongside Demolition Hammer too, nevertheless excellent picks
You missed Ratos de Porão in Crossover Thrash and Gangrena Gasosa in Saravá Thrash Metal 🇧🇷🔥
some of the best icebergs on youtube simply because he doesn't spend 3 minutes talking about how an iceberg works
props for mentioning crusty punk and DOOM, fucking love UK DOOM. Also worth mentioning with Crusty Punk, Misery, Nausea, Econochrist, Aus Rotten, etc.
Cryptic Slaughter mentioned 👍
First! Another great iceberg video. Also dope Giles Corey shirt.
Finally, somebody had to talk about аспид, another great Russian thrash band to add is Master. Unoriginal name but maniac party is a banger
I will never not love the low-quality EP artwork of underground thrash metal bands, where clearly one of the band members just picked up a pencil and started sketching random crossed and pentagrams etc
No More Color is the best tech thrash album ever composed
I love to see Cryptic Slaughter, Whiplash, Morbid Saint, Abigail and Syphilitic Vaginas on here. By the way, Toxic Holocaust and Abigail also have a crossover project called Tiger Junkies, who are excellent. I would add X Japan's Vanishing Vision and Blue Blood to tier 4 and Rosenfeld to tier 5. Rosenfeld is the most vicious thrash i've ever heard, they may need to be lower on the iceberg though, simply because of their image, which was actually ironic, but that was lost on a lot of people.
Yo, where's Pantera? We've had some crossover ad punk-influenced bands here - including Suicidal Tendencies, and I think it's impossible to have that discussion without 'Cowboys' and 'Vulgar Display'. I'm really curious why the band didn't make the list on the strength of these two albums alone :)
thrash is my favourite style of metal
one of my favorite thrash bands is slave to sirens and I would highly recommend them. the documentary “sirens” about them is also really good
One demo that really was pretty extreme to me was by the band Bloodspill. Gave me strong vibes of Sadus
Blood Spill Demonic Plague, so raw! One of my favorite Thrash demos, also Deranged - Place of Torment
Kinda criminal you didnt bring up holy Moses when talking about the german scene. Also razor was only speed the first two albums the third was "speedthrash" but after that it was straight up thrash
Great list. Just a few extras: Holy Terror, Sadus, Mekong Delta, Wargasm (US, not UK!!!), Sabbat (UK, not Japan)
Mad respect for talking about Aspid. It is worth noting that they formed and started writing it back in USSR time. It's a shame that people often compare them to US bands like Metallica or stuff like that, who at the time had Black album released, and these people say that Aspid were late for like 7-10 years. But in my opinion their music should better be compared to their prog contemporaries like Atheist, Cynic (demo days).
Mekong Delta and Sieges Even are also really great and important progressive/technical thrash metal bands that should have been mentioned here.
No mention of Iron Penis? Great vid like always either way
thrash is always my favorite genre of metal.
That first Watchtower album is basically Rush trying to do technical thrash metal on a demo tape.
Pray tell, hast thou forgotten to recount the grand tale of Overkill hailing from the distant lands of New Jersey? Verily, they art oft dubbed amongst the ranks of the "big four that are not the big four."
Only thing missing are the basic bands like annihilator and overkill
But this was an awesome deep dive into thrash and made me discover some new bands like doom
Epic!
Yes Overkill should be here!
Love the Sisters vinyl... how about a goth rock iceberg?
Gamma Ray is a BWoBHM as well. It was Gamma Bomb you were referring to
Riffobia, Grindpad, Warfect and Slaughtered Priest are my go tos! Vortex, Speedraiser, MindTaker, Hyades, Hazzerd and Toxic Holocaust are the shit as well!
What about vulvodonya's guitar player? He's awesome. Those guys are brutal!
people seem to forget about sadus and forced entry, which are some of the most impressive and talented bands in the genre
Glad Deceased gets a mention. One of the first Death Metal bands and they get no credit at all
wyatt!!!!! please do goregrind!!!!!!
Excel is a great crossover band, very punk influences like cro mags
And for extreme thrash, Altar of sin from Spain would fit there perfectly, theyre deaththrash but the singer does these low growly vocals and the drummer does gravity blasts, wild shit. Also Chakal, sextrash, and Holocausto would fit there as well
Im very late to finding this yet still happy it exists
What about Algebra? They are a great technical thrash metal band from Switzerland.
other great "complex thrash" Bands are:
Depressive Age
Mekong Delta
Antidote (the finnish band, best record imo is "Total")
Flotsam and Jetsam (more like a mix between power/heavy/thrash and technical)
Aftermath
Obliveon
