Aren't all those bands just considered Heavy Metal? Why break it up further?

That's what I wondered. Wiki classifies them as such.

Thrash is quite a bit different. It has definite punk influences in it's riffs with the high use of power chords. Riffs are usually defined by staccato and palm muting to create chugging and the solos are generally shredding and high register. Also the drumming usually uses snare.

Or not.

Why? Thrash metal has clear specifications that set it apart.

I still just say "Metal", but like black and death, there are reasons, legitimate, technical reasons for it.

Don't really care for most of it.

Thrash metal's kool...

Megadeth and Metallica are awesome! (Love Four Horsemen and Hangar 18)

And I also have a spot for Anthrax because they worked with one of the only good rap groups, Public Enemy, and for Madhouse...

Slayer, I only really like Raining Blood, other than that, don't really care for them...

Testament is kool too...

Post-thrash (groove metal) is also really kool... Pantera rocks!

Yah me too on Slayer. Well, actually Raining Blood and Seasons and the Abyss. Other than that they tended to suck imo.

Reign in Blood is the greatest thrash album ever.

Motorhead's Overkill and Anthrax's Among the Living are very close runners-up.

Hahaha.

As if Reign in Blood is better than Master of Puppets.

Master of Puppets is a fantastic thrash album, too. I would place it in my top 5.

Angel of Death jams harder than Battery, though. evillaugh

Well obviously the better music is opinion, but thrash metal from a technical stance was defined by Master of Puppets.
