Jesus Freaks? never heard of 'em.

Yeah, that first Jesus Freaks album was a "good" Metallica album. If ya like And Justice for All, etc, you should check 'em out, T-R.

Hmm, sounds cool.

Thanx for the hookup there Spec... been meaning to check these guys out for a long time but never found any of their stuff. Playing it right now thru my WMP and it does indeed sound like old Metallica. Nice find!

Thrash?

The Jesus Freaks singer was the only thing that sounded Metallica like. Their music was decent but nowhere near Metallica quality.

Faves:

1) Seventh Angel (wish they had more than 2 studio albums)
2) Believer (truly unique and awesome
3) Deliverance
4) Tourniquet
5) Extol
6) Vengeance Rising
7) Living Sacrifice
8. Mortification
9) The Crucified
10) Ultimatum (only know some songs, but they rock)

Seventh Angel is one of my favorite bands. They just wrote really good music with solid lyrics.

Believer - glad they are going to put out some new music. I've sorely missed their unique sound of symphonic thrash! The Trilogy of Knowledge and Dies Irae baby - yeah!

Tourniquet's first album is what got me into them - Ark of Suffering is a really good song. Guy's voice is great. 2nd album rocks, especially A Dog's Breakfast and Viento Borrasco. POD is a great album, especially with Pathogenic Occular Dissonance, Phantom Limb, The Skeezix Dilemma. Also cool are the two tracks on their greatest hits album - Perfect Night for a Hanging and The Hand Trembler.

Extol can play any style it seems and play it really well (see Synergy).

I have a soft spot for Living Sacrifice's first album - it just rocks.

Vengeance Rising - having the whole catalog, the first two albums are really really great. Human Sacrifice, Ascension, Warfare, etc.

Like I said before, really looking forward to hearing the whole Ultimatum catalog.

Long live thrash.

A few So. Calif Bands that didn't get much recognition back in the day were Martyr and Apostacy Denied. Poor recorded demos failed to emulate what they did onstage. Being that I saw Tourniquet , Deliverance, and Vengeance (Risng) so much, I appreciate some of the local bands that didn't get the attention.

For me ....... not in this order

Seventh angel
Tourniquet
Deliverance
and lastly Believer

ohhhh...

2. Ultimatum
3. Living Sacrifice(used to be my favorate)
4. Deliverance
5. Believer
6. Seventh Angel
7. Mortification
8. The Crucified
9. Detritus
10. Eternal Decision

1. Deliverance
2. Tourniquet
3. Living Sacrifice
4. Veangence Rising
5. Beleiver

i got allot of thrash metal uploads and playlist.

The only 2 bands who did it all perfectly for me -

Thresher
The Lead
Living Sacrifice
Sacrament
Deliverance
Tourniquet
Ultimatum
Consecrator
Temple Of Blood
Mortification

I USED TO love Believer .. first 2 LP's are still worthy of all metal heads/thrashers.

these are most of the christian thrash metal bands i know...

What would you classify demon hunter as cause they aren't straight up metal?
And don't even try to tell me they're screamo....
I was told they were thrash...

Woohoo! Newbie slap fight!

I found Demon Hunter sound kind of okay in small doses.
Some of it was kind of thrashy, but had the impression they were usually labelled screamo/metalcore.

for example, this tracks Fire To My Soul sounds exactly like SLIPKNOT / RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE to me

Demon Hunter's sound has not been the same on every album. I certainly would not call them thrash metal. Metalcore. Nu-metal perhaps? I don't know exactly, but not thrash metal.

I think metal core would describe it pretty accurately.

uh oh FF - the newbie just said:

I have been liking this band BETRAYER from Canada more and and more, over the last year or more..
https://www.facebook.com/betrayer1996
They released 3 albums, and are a cross between power, thrash, and heavy metal.
To my ears, BETRAYER sound closer to power metal for the really picky thrash listeners.

They broke up for quite awhile, but are back after replacing a guitarist I think.
I usually don't care for this type of wailing/singing.
