Thrash metal vs NWOBHM/Traditional Heavy metal?

Russian, Teutonic Thrash pretty much. And progressive thrash regardless of origin.
Heavy Metal just not my thing. Especially "Iron Maiden" one with it's 9-20 minutes operas of repeated riffs. The one exception and really enjoyable one is Judas Priest.

Also I think Vektor and Warbringer are pretty good for progressive thrash.

I guess Limp Bizkit is a phase, that everyone of us simply had to go trough.

DJ Lethal who is the DJ of Limp Bizkit is from Lithuania, he's pretty good. He used to be in House of Pain the hiphop-band. Wes Borland is a good guitarist. Nu-metal is at least an attempt to do something else with the heavy metal - genre outside of growing the hair longer or adding more mascara/corpse paint.

But anyway, Teutonic Thrash, Sodom especially that my avatar pic is from one of their records, is what I like. Sodom made a good cover of Motörhead's Ace of Spades.





Ps. I wish somebody would like this post. :(

I don't get people who listen exclusively to Metal. Or any genre, really. I do like to blast some early Metallica and Slayer on occasion.
I also like that Metal without distortion is basically surf rock, which I love. (The drums don't really fit and there should be more drippy reverb but guitar-wise it's a match)

Thrash was in a way heavy influenced by NWOBHM.

Slayer's best disc (for me haha) "Show no mercy" is a proof of beeing heavy influenced by Iron Maiden.


I am more in the road of Thrash and future derivations of the genre, but I consider both to be very very influencing subgenres.

Show No Mercy in my book is Judas Priest on crack.

Thrash is really flexible genre. So flexible, Death and Black derived from it. Mostly Kreator blamed for showing it in the 90s and it's really biased blame. And progressive thrash doesn't take most of your time to for great complex song, they're mostly 3-4 minutes long while Dream Threatre and other most mainstream 'progressive metal "bands"' not only shit but boring shit.

While Death and Black Metal may have been birthed from thrash. Let's not forget, Speed metal and power metal were birthed from the NWOBHM as well. Well thrash was too, but I think speed and power tend to stick to more of what the NWOBHM established.
