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: Death Angel

v yeah, thrash metal fans can't face the fact that Slipknot is much better than any thrash band, it's better to keep them away from that torment.

Both Pantera and Metallica suck. You know why they suck? Because none of their members are fans of technical gothic metal. If you're a fan, then join the group to show your appreciation of this wonderful style of metal.

Don´t know man,don´t take it so seriously.It would have been better if you explained yourself instead of recommending new speakers.

Metallica's influence on Pantera isn't debatable so I didn't try. Was I supposed to act like those morons in Pantera's shoutbox and deny a fact or something?

It's funny to see a guy who takes part in a discussion, then advertising some group. I mean, OK, but usually those who are posting links to the groups, are forever alone of something. Hope you understood anything.
