Track Of The Day - The Pit Edition
A short, ball of crossover thrash energy from San Francisco, USA.
Japanese thrash metal for fans of Slayer, Kreator & Morbid Saint.
Thrashy stoner metal from Melbourne, Australia.
San Francisco Bay Area thrash at its finest.
I think some of you thrashers might enjoy this chunky Groove Metal number from Zakk Wylde-fronted Los Angeles Heavy Metal outfit Black Label Society.
A Slayer-inspired thrasher from Virginia-based stoner/heavy metallers Alabama Thunderpussy featuring Exhorder front man Kyle Thomas behind the microphone.
A Texas thrash metal anthem from my youth.

Interesting choice, Daniel. To me, it sounds fun yet forgettable, but what can I say? I'm not too fully immersed in this earlier groove/thrash, and my metal youth was much more recent. With that said though, this shred-tastic thrasher has made up for the album's mistakes:
One of the more hardcore punk-driven tracks from the Brazilian's sixth full-length.

This one helps the album become more interesting. The vocals and riffs are much better and worth listening to than a few other songs. Not the best home-run but a great step up.
A thrashier effort from this Boston-based stenchcore outfit.
A steroid-induced Motorhead cover version from this LA speed metal outfit.
Annihilator's Alice in Hell is a standout gem in their discography and thrash metal in general. Even though it has many classic songs (especially "Alison Hell"), the last track of this offering is its best example of full-on raging thrash:
Just like the previous album's closing track, this one closes the journey through Never, Neverland in a thrashy bang:
Absolutely vicious thrash filled with hatred and rage, just the way I like it. If you thought bands like Megadeth or Exodus made the most aggressive thrash songs you've heard, this will change your mind:
Even the switch to groove metal for Demolition Hammer can be very solid, especially in this long sludge-ish highlight:
I believe there's still some powerful thrash in this amazing album This Godless Endeavor, such as the kick-A opener:
A true keeper in grunge-ish groove metal:
Authentic groove and mood with riffing that I think is kinda like Godflesh without any of the industrial aspects:
One of only a few decent highlights in this album, with a beautiful soft bridge in the middle of the kick-A thrash:
A memorable speed metal highlight that ended up being the band's namesake:
Full-on deathly thrash metal which, as the title implies, is filled with anger and pure hate:
Aggressive speed metal that's like a more thrashy Accept:
