Getting into metal,recommend some bands

cedomination

Ok,I'mn into most forms of rock but only lately i've started listening to some metal and enjoying it.
At the moment im listening to some stuff like slayer,kreator,cannibal corpse and napalm death.
I'm enjoying thrash a lot so i'd appreciate it if anyone could suggest similar bands

smackbunnybaby

regardless of what people tell you otherwise, make sure you know Metallica's first 3/4 albums. , if you havnt already checked them out.

they arent the most famous metal band for nothing.

Karl Hungus

Carcass are a must.

Kess73

Sepultura.

Testament.

Anthrax.

cedomination

I like anthrax and i heard some sepultra which I thought was decent.
Metallica are alright but I find a lot of their songs really boring.

Edit: just youtubed carcass and they're brilliant! Thanks for that

Music4life

Megadeth!!

GhostInTheRuins

Start off with some Exodus, Destruction and Testament to satisify your thrash needs

Mushy

If you feel anyway inclined towards some stoner, Kyuss are a must.

noelob

Evile are a pretty good up and coming thrash band they kinda sound like early slayer stuff, saw them supporting Machinehead last year in the Ambassador.

Have a look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_thrash_metal_bands

if you've even vaguely heard of any of those bands look them up on youTube and see what you think.

Some other class bands you should consider are:
Possessed, Venom (Thrash)
In Flames, Arch Enemy, At the Gates, Kalmah, Dark Tranquillity, Children of Bodom, Carcass (Melodic Death Metal)
Shadows Fall, God Forbid, Lamb of God (Thrash / Metalcore)
Cavalera Conspiracy, Gojira, Death (Death / Thrash)
Exhorder, Throwdown (Groove)
Fear Factory (Industrial)

Since when are Mercyful Fate thrash?

cedomination

Thanks for all the replies guys,really appreciate it.
When I mentioned thrash I was just giving you something to work from,all suggestions are greatly appreciated:D

zaister

whatever happened to the christian metal bands like stryper and archangel?

Misanthropy

I highly recommend Rust in Peace by Megadeth, one of the best thrash albums that you can find

Sephiroth_dude

Decapitated for all your death metal needs :cool:

spiritcrusher

I highly recommend Demolition Hammer's Epidemic of Violence for top notch thrash, brilliant riffs the whole way through, catchy as hell at times, great drumming and a touch of the deathy stuff. Fantastic stuff.

StormWarrior

If you're just getting into metal, I really recommend listening to some power metal. Some suggestions - Lost Horizon (the best band EVER! You can hear clips of them in the media section of their website: www.oncelosthorizon.com), Manowar, Rhapsody, Hammerfall, and Stormwarrior, who rock so hard I named myself after them. I also HIGHLY recommend Children of Bodom's first 3 albums. Oh yeah, and Wintersun.

Glam metal rocks too: Europe, Def Leppard, Judas Priest, Skid Row, etc.

Wolfie474

This might not entirely meet the brief, but look into some Dream Theater. Theyre pretty amazing, though not exactly metal...more progressive than anything i guess.

Dark Artist

I think you'd enjoy Epica as well, their new stuff is pretty heavy and awesome.

Léan

If you're listening to Kreator and liking thrash then there's a load of class Teutonic Thrash bands to check out.

Destruction
Morbid Saint
Holy Moses
Living Death
Razor
Exhumer
Sodom


Similarly the Bay Area bands too.
Testament
Forbidden
Anthrax
Laaz Rockit
D.R.I. (Thrash/Punk Crossover, one of the first Crossover bands)
OverKill
EvilDead
Sacred Reich
Detente
Heathen
Vio-Lence
Blind Illusion
Nasty Savage
Toxik
Death Angel
Dark Angel
Cryptic Slaughter (Crossover)

More Technical stuff like
Watchtower (although the vocals realllly aren't everybodies cup of tea)
Coroner
Vovoid
Sadus

The British Wave of thrash worth a look at, a lot of the early stuff you can really hear the punk/Heavy metal influence

Xentrix
Onslaught
Acid Reign
Arcane
Artillary
D.A.M.

New Wave of stuff is really worth while too especially the Irish bands, check out their myspaces
Mass Extinction
Flatline
Nuclear Reign
Gama Bomb
Evile
Municipal Waste (not that new, but anyways)
Lich King
Warmoth
Mutant
Pityful Reign
SSS

Off the top of my head, that should get you going anyways Since you're liking Cannibal Corpse too then check out Rigor Mortis. Very early Death Thrash from Texas i think. Cool stuff. Oh and Tankard for fun

Hope that helped.

extraflavour

try a bit of mudvayne! if your getting into metal theyre a great metal band!

Eschatologist

Dude, Pantera! Vulgar display of power is a must for any metal fan. Rock in Peace Dimebag.

Jay P

Annihilator
Morbid Angel
Testament
Municipal Waste
Death
King Diamond

cournioni

Morbid Angel... Not thrash metal, but definately one of the best out there!

nacho libre

Believer
Progressive Thrash/Death Metal

stateofflux

Nuclear assault, nephilim, early metallica (Kill 'em all /ride the lightning / master of puppets etc), xyclon, slipknots last album (subliminal verses), Deicide, Storm troopers of death, Megadeth - rust in peace,
