Day 95: Thrash Metal



Trying to tackle a metal genre tour is fun. Because, there are so many different sub-genres within heavy metal music, and, furthermore, there are typically just a handful of good bands within each category. What adds the icing on the cake, is that so many people LOVE LOVE LOVE these certain sub-genres to the point that they get upset if their favorite song isn't on the list. LOL metalheads.

For this genre tour I put together my definitive track list of thrash, a genre borne of the Second Wave of British Metal and the hardcore punk underground that emerged in the 1980s.

The genre is characterized by speed and brutality. Punk beats, grinding guitars, wailing solos and spitfire vocals. So brutal.

02. Pantera - Suicide Note Pt. 2
03. Slayer - Evil Has No Boundaries
