As of late I’ve been getting back into the thrash classics. Old slayer, Metallica, exhorder, kreator,…

And I notice a thing that I miss with a lot of newer material is a certain degree of rawness. In production, execution,…

Something about those slight tempo variations that you just can’t program into a click track spontaneously gives it that extra bit of bite to me.

And even a certain amount of sloppiness in playing sometimes. If it’s not too much I find it a plus for some styles.

So if you know any bands or albums that really stand out to scratch that itch, please share.

Addendum: thx for the feedback everyone! Looks like I’ll be needing another usb drive.

Damn this is my whole thing!!

Early Venom, Bulldozer, Bathory's self-titled, Sodom's In The Sign Of Evil EP, Celtic Frost, Schizophrenia (Colombia), Witchtrap - if you are after something with a blackened twist.

Znowhite, Exciter - for more of a speed metal vibe.

Cryptic Slaughter, Excel, D.R.I., Carnivore's Retaliation - for some crossover (thrash/hardcore punk fusion).

Whiplash, Hallows Eve, Sepultura's Morbid Visions, Onslaught, Razor, Sodom's Masquerade in Blood, Tankard's Zombie Attack, Voivod's War and Pain - if you are after some old-school goodness.

Violator, Lich King - newer, but stiff raw af and will kick your ass back to the 80s.

There's tons upon tons of shit I've uploaded to !thrashmetal@lemmy.world over the years. Let me know if you ever need any more recs, I'm a total fucking nerd when it comes to thrash 🤣! 🤘🤘

    Well a thing I’ve been looking for and have yet to find in particular as wel is albums like Exhorder’s slaughter and the law. Most people immediately refer to pantera but I find that comparison somewhat misplaced (even though very understandable, it’s def there).

    Pantera kind of tends to go for a bit more of a pentatonic/blues scale approach to their composition where Exhorder is very, let’s call it, a mixture of dissonance and “chromatic” things most of the time. Pantera is a bit more 50/50 and easier on the ear imo.

    But anyways you get the idea. (Thx btw loving the feedback here)
