Thrash Metal

Thrash metal (sometimes referred to simply as thrash) is a subgenre of heavy metal music, one of the extreme metal subgenres that is characterised by high speed riffing and aggression. Thrash metal songs typically use fast, percussive and low-register guitar riffs, overlaid with shredding-style lead work. Thrash metal lyrics also often deal with social issues using visceral and blunt language, an approach which partially overlaps with the hardcore genre. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: Possessed

Thrash is quite the opposite to Emo! Instead of crying in a corner we thrash the place to pieces, and it's all about having a great time! Drinking my beer, feeling alright, let's thrash the place tonight!

"Personally i don't like thrash because it doesn't take any talent or creativity. " Just because you don´t see something it doesn´t means that it ´s not there, i don´t like rap and i don´t go around the rap charts saying that it doesn´t requires talent.For me is not talent,but for some are.Thrash actually requires a lot of talent AND creativity,i mean,you can be untalented and play thrash metal,but only the original and most talented bands stand the test of time.

Everytime I see Machine Head, Lamb Of God and Trivium in there tagged as thrash, I feel like killing someone.
