Intro

There are two things in the overview at the beginning of the article that make no sense. One being the big four "simultaneously creating the genre" When you go farther down the article and see how far apart the dates that the bands began on or released their first albums you can see that that's not what happened. As far as I know the big four were the best selling thrash metal bands of the 80's but I'm not sure. It is however immediately aparent from reading further down in the article that they didn't simultaneously create the genre. The other thing is "extensive use of the snare drum". I understand what is trying to be said here but all music that uses a drum kit makes extensive use of the snare drum. I'm changing that part to say it uses skank beats. There is no article for skank beat and I don't have a source at the moment but it makes more sense than "extensive use of the snare drum" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.41.9.31 (talk) 16:05, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

These issues have now been resolved. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 13:56, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Number of major scenes

Under the Bay Area section it mentions that there are 5 major scenes, but only four are listed, and indeed, I can only think of those four. Anyone?Jasper420 03:43, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"thrashcore"

An editor has been persistently attempting to add thrashcore to the infobox and prose of the article, completely unsourced, despite multiple requests to discuss this attempted change beforehand. This change has been attempted in the past by other editors and has always been reverted. A quick look at the thrashcore article shows "Thrashcore is often confused with crossover thrash and sometimes thrash metal" and "The "-core" suffix is necessary to distinguish it from the thrash metal scene"; these statements are well sourced and do not support the inclusion of the genre addition here. Any thoughts on the merits of the inclusion of thrashcore to this article? ChakaKong^talk 17:07, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think the last phrase of the paragraph sums it up : "Still more confusingly, the term "thrashcore" is occasionally used by the music press to refer to thrash metal-inflected metalcore." I have to say that I too was more familiar with this use of the term. But it's clear that it should not be linked tu the punk subgenre. Perhaps pointing to metalcore ? zubrowka74 17:26, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My area of expertise is thrash metal and I don't claim to be knowledgeable about thrashcore at all; but everything I'm reading tells me that thrashcore is a form of hardcore punk and has little or nothing to do with heavy metal. ChakaKong^talk 19:29, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New Wave of Thrash metal

In nowadays many bands are trying to give rebirth to that genre that was about to be forgotten. And that attempt is called "New Wave of Thrash metal". That attempt is know on the Internet by EVERYONE SINCE THE EARLY 2000'S. And it's written on every site of the internet, exept here! It's not right that it's not mentioned here! Everyone shoud know about this! That is why Some People are trying to mention it HERE, on Wikipedia. But YOU People are recklessly preventing that information to be mentioned and read by the viewers! AND THAT IS UNFORGIVABLE!!

I say that the New Wave of Thrash metal should be mentioned here. DayKey (talk) 12:19, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. The "New wave" article you created does not meet notability guidelines and thus does not warrant a standalone article. It should have been left as a redirect. ChakaKong^talk 14:13, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article is pretty skinny. Nothing that can't be mentioned in a small section on the Thrash article. Perhaps if you'd find more sources ? Magazines or such ? Work on this and maybe we'll waive the conspiracy that's been keeping NWoTM in the dark for so long. zubrowka74 16:32, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Future discussion should take place here, as it pertains directly to that article and not this one. ChakaKong^talk 18:26, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What's with the ALL BOLDED CAPS?!

London Thrash Scene, New Wave of Thrash Metal

I second the above poster's proposal to create an article for the New London Thrash Scene, including Evile et al.

There should also be a category for bands like Havok, Municipal Waste, Tantara, Lost Society, Gama Bomb, HeXen, Vektor, Bolt Thrower and others.

I suggest for it to be titled New Wave of American Thrash Metal. Their defining features include a comic like, cartoon-like futuristic cover style, and a classic crossover style between hardcore punk and heavy metal, but it is exceptionally faster than precursors from the Bay Area and 80's Thrash Metal.

A London Area Thrash Metal Scene article is also suggested.

Death and Thrash are often indistinguishable.

e.g. The heaviest songs of Slayer with the ligher songs of Death are virtually the same genre. --89.210.3.234 (talk) 15:24, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

no, they're not, they both belong firmly in each respective genre... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.210.97.178 (talk) 14:34, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Death metal is the use of growled lyrics and often lyrics to growled or screamed to understand. While thrash bands such as Exodus, Sepultra and Slayer incorporate shouting or screaming lyrics, they are not death metal like Vader. Thrash metal is like the father of Death metal. They are similar and to the average bub sound the same (screamo), they ARE NOT the same genre.

New Wave of Thrash - Bands changing style

Shouldn't it be mentioned for modern popularity that many popular bands like Machine Head and Bullet For My Valentine are moving towards more of a Thrash style? Ganondox (talk) 18:23, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bay Area Thrash

Slayer are listed as a member of the Bay Area thrash scene, but they are from L.A.

See first sentence:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slayer — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.200.54.254 (talk) 16:41, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you read about Slayer on the Bay Area thrash article, it explains that although they did not originate from the area, they did take part in its scene by playing a lot of shows there etc. If you want, you can change the wording in this article to reflect the fact that they are not from the area.--MASHAUNIX 18:34, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I did not see the Bay Area thrash article. Thanks.
