Modern thrash songs/albums that will become classics

[Fabulousdisaster88]

Hello everyone, this thread is about songs/albums (modern thrash) that will become classics 20-30 years from now. Here is my list:

Dark roots of the earth-Testament album

Time is up-Havok album

Downfall-Exodus song

Children of a worthless God-Exodus song

Lying in state-Megadeth song 

Formation of damnation-Testament album

Phantom antichrist-Kreator album

Hordes of chaos-Kreator 

Enemy of God-Kreator

What do you guys think?

Anything by Vektor, the last few Overkill albums, Destruction's All Hell Breaks Loose, The Antichrist, and Inventor of Evil, King's Evil's Deletion of Humanoise, Exodus' Tempo of the Damned, Evil Army's self titles album, etc...

Haha?

I'll check back with this thread in 20-30 years then, shall I? 

[Fabulousdisaster88]

Totally!

It depends on how you're defining classic. Do you mean they will have the almost mainstream appeal of Metallica for example? Or do you mean they will be regarded by fans of the genre as essential listening?

 

I choose to adopt the latter interpretation and BAN has pretty much covered it honestly. Very little thrash these days will be remembered in five years let alone thirty. Since Morbid Saint's 'Spectrum Of Death' is both a classic and the only decent album they made I assume those kinds of one hit wonders may be counted?

 

Adding 'Every Nerve Alive' by Ritual Carnage to the mix seems like a good idea.

You're right, I forgot about Ritual Carnage. Strange, since I still managed to include King's Evil.

I know that there's more out there than this. I have a friend on another forum with some really excellent taste in thrash metal that has recommended some other new albums for me to listen to, I just haven't done my due diligence on tracking them down. Hopefully I'll have more to add to this at some point if I do run down his recommendations.

I was tempted to throw Mastery in there but Lethal Legacy being an EP and all doesn't fit the bill.

I mean fan credibility definitely not mainstream success.

Then we've pretty much covered it. Most thrash coming out these days isn't worth hearing. Far more interesting things happening in death and avant-garde metal along with black and doom to a lesser extent.

True.

Dust bolt, hatchet, and warbringer are all great new wave thrash bands.

I could just be really jaded and difficult to impress, but none of those bands have delivered anything worth writing home about IMO.

No, no you're not BAN, it seems that way because mediocrity is by definition not impressive.

I thought terminal redux by Vektor was incredible. Definitely my favorite album of the 21st century. Just got into them recently

[FatherAlabaster]

I just listened to that earlier, and it's a fantastic album. Might be wise to wait another 84 years before you really decide what your favorite album of the century is...

[Fabulousdisaster88]

Haha, yeah!
