As for Sanctity, their style is unique and I don't think there are any really similar bands.

I am currently of the opinion that this might be the greatest thrash album ever made. Please suggest me other albums like it!

Antidote - The Truth

For epic thrash check out the Immaculate link I put in if you haven't yet. The harmonies in Angelus Apatrida and somewhat Aggression as well which I also mentioned have a slight epic feel.

Some more

Anger as Art. Annihilator anyone?

Savage Messiah. Power/thrash that can be quite epic. Excellent stuff.

Worwyk. Not sure what you will think of this band. Thrashy power/traditional metal, and quite underrated or unknown in my opinion. Only album I have heard is In Solitude and I enjoy it a lot.

Not epic but you may enjoy National Suicide. They clearly love Overkill. The best Blitz clone!

Mastery. Technical thrash that is a bit progressive in the songwriting department and purely instrumental on the debut EP. Listening to their album on youtube right now with Billy Milano on vocals and not a fan of the vocals too much as they are too coreish but maybe it will grow on me. I do love the riffing.

Shatter Messiah. Power/traditional thrash.

Biomcechanical. This is like a blend of a bunch of stuff. Quite technical and just awesome.

This question has probably been asked a thousand times already, but I'll ask it again. Any bands similar to Sodom or that have a heavy black metal influence in their music? I'm looking for blackened and gritty sounding thrash. Please and thanks.

My favorite thrash band is Overkill, any recommendations for the Overkill fan? And in general, any fun thrash bands doing things a bit different from the norm, with memorable songs? Thanks

Powermad is another one. I dig Revocation, but they're not quite the direction I'm looking for there for example.

Don't know if you guys heard of them, but Noisem is pretty good death thrash with some grindcore mixed in.

I've got a shitload.

Minotaur's Power of Darkness: Absolutely raw, gut-wrenching thrash with shades of early black metal. Listen to this if you dig early Sodom and Sepultura.

Aggression's The Full Treatment: A reviewer described this as Canada's answer to Darkness Descends, and he's not far off. I would even go as far as to say it surprasses that album in terms of rawness and intensity.

Holy Moses's Finishing With the Dogs: Teutonic thrash metal simply doesn't get better than this. Take the schizophrenic personality of Vio-Lence and combine it with the relentless thrashing of early Kreator and voila.

Num Skull's Ritually Abused: Another severely overlooked gem. What we have here is a total riff-fest, with the most the feral and caustic vocals I've ever heard on a thrash album.

Protector's A Shedding Of Skin: Pretty much the Beneath the Remains of their discography. A cornucopia of brutal riffs and pounding drums. If anyone wondered why I condemn modern thrash its because of albums like these.

Gammacide's Victims of Science: Heavy, rugged thrash metal that explodes with an intensity that never lets up. What really impresses me is the consistency and flow of this album. This band, Devastation and Rigor Mortis perfectly encapsulates the brilliance that was Texan thrash.

Necrodeath's Into the Macabre: A terrific slab of blackened Italian thrash metal. This album can be extremely chaotic in some parts, but there are also moments of moody, sinister doom.

Insanity's Death After Death: In my opinion the most overlooked death/thrash album ever. Death after Death is a frenetic whirlwind of an album with some of the wildest riffs ever recorded. Mandatory.

Assorted Heap's The Experience of Horror: The germans have an amazing track record when it comes to producing death/thrash. Assorted Heap is no exception. These guys were latecomers in the dissapearing thrash scene but they produced an album that could rival any of the classics.

Epidemic's Decameron: You can tell these guys were fond admirers of bands like Exhorder and Demolition Hammer. Some of these songs sound obscenely brutal, even by thrash metal standards. The production is rather muffled but doesn't detract much from an otherwise classic album.

Sacrificial's Forever Entangled: Quite similiar to Invocator's second album. A monstrously heavy album that's the musical equivalent of experiencing an avalanche.

Ripping Corpse's Dreaming With the Dead: Among the most morbid and unique combinations of death and thrash you're ever likely going to here. There's no other band that sounds like them. Their songs are extremely layered, ambitious and memorable.

Im looking for early Metallica worship especially similar to Kill em All. I know Kill em All was more or less Motorhead worship but it was different, faster, heavier, etc....

So I guess Im looking for stuff like pre-Kill em All and Ride the Lightning....

Is Whiplash too obvious?

I know of Whiplash but Im not real familiar with them. Any particular album(s)?
