If you ask me, from what I see, the genre of Thrash Metal took a small break, or leave of absence in the 90\u2032s. The bands took different musical directions, the albums that were coming out weren\u2019t exactly quality, that kind of thing. Bands were still around, but doing other stuff. Even what we call the \u201cBig 4\u2033 of Thrash was off. Metallica, (some call them the American Pioneers of Thrash Metal) ventured into the hard rock category after the 80\u2032s. Slayer, with the departure of Dave Lombardo in the early 90\u2032s, became very dragged in their music, and the energy lacked. Megadeth, though they tried to stay, also slowed down, and even ventured out of genre almost with some of their album \u201cRisk\u201d. And Anthrax also became more hard rock than thrash in the 90\u2032s after the departure of Joey. There are more examples, but let\u2019s open our eyes. In recent times\u2026all these bands, and more have in my eyes, came back to Thrash Metal, and ahve given us some terrific gems. If you\u2019re a Metal-head and say new music sucks, then I highly suggest you look at these Top Ten Thrash Metal Comebacks.

10. Ironbound \u2013 Overkill

\"\"
Overkill has not ceased to impress many Thrash Metal fans as of late, but when Ironbound was released in 2010, let\u2019s just say the numbers gave the fans even more reasons to celebrate. One of the sad factors of Metal today is that it\u2019s not recognized by too many people, as too many people like the mainstream genres of pop, rap and other similar genres. Rock and Metal are sadly, not in the majority anymore. It ain\u2019t dead, and never will be, don\u2019t get me wrong, but when you make the billboards as a Metal Band, that hasn\u2019t always been recognized as a big band (Example: Metallica), you know you\u2019ve put out one hell of an album. And Ironboud did just that. It was the first album by the band in nearly 20 years that made the Billboard 200, coming in at a strong 31. And if that fails to impress, well, the music on the album is nothing short of the mosh starting, running like hell, double kick energy that Thrash Metal is supposed to be.

9. Dead Heart in a Dead World \u2013 Nevermore

\"\"
The new millennium got a real gem out of Nevermore when they released this album. Covering subjects that are covered all around in Metal, such as religion, war, and politics, this album was anything a fan could expect out of Thrash Metal. Even if it did get a little weird. Let\u2019s just say that perhaps covering Simon and Garfunkel\u2019s \u201cThe Sound of Silence\u201d wasn\u2019t the band\u2019s brightest move (it\u2019s a really weird rendition), but never-the-less, they certainly made it their own, and made one of their better albums of the new music era.

8. Dark Roots of Earth \u2013 Testament

\"\"

Testament has been a little out of the loop with waiting 9 years to release anything after \u201cThe Gathering\u201d, but certainly made some heads rise with 2008\u2032s \u201cFormation of the Damned\u201d. Well, with their latest installment of their discography, let\u2019s just say the number of rising heads should rise tremendously. With new-found energy, and a wonderful addition of Gene Holgan behind the drum kit, Testament\u2019s energy has never been better it would seem (in this writer\u2019s humble opinion). Sure the classics of \u201cPractice what You Preach\u201d and other classic albums are likely going to be preferred, but with this addition, the fanbase if you ask me is only going to get stronger.


7. Death Magnetic \u2013 Metallica
\"\"

Okay. Let\u2019s face the sad truth. The way Metallica goes about their music, sound, and direction can sometimes be nothing more than infuriating. I do not understand how Bob Rock convinced them to let the production of St. Anger go the way it went. I do not understand why they think their latest work with Lou Reed was at all good. I do not understand why they left Thrash Metal at all in the first place. But I DO know that I am thankful they returned to it in 2008. Because after finding music savior, Rick Rubin, and after a very long journey of not so appealing albums, Metallica gave us their best album since 1988\u2032s \u201c\u2026And Justice for All\u201d. One of the longest albums they\u2019ve recorded, the riffs were energetic the beats were fast, and EVERYONE was praising the Lord when they were hearing Kirk doing solos again (a feat that was not at all present in St. Anger). Yes, it still wasn\u2019t everyone\u2019s cup of tea, and the loudness production could get annoying, but let\u2019s just say that most of Metallica\u2019s fanbase praised the return to Thrash Metal, and I hope they stay well in the area for their next album. As do we all. Because I am sure Metallica in the minds of a lot of people is very close to striking out, if they haven\u2019t struck out already.


6. The Blackening \u2013 Machine Head

\"\"
Machine Head is on it\u2019s own, a force to be reckoned with. They\u2019ve given us a number of albums that are nothing short of amazing. But the emotion and drive behind 2007\u2032s \u201cThe Blackening\u201d was just mind blowing. And I will go ahead and single out the song \u201cAesthetics of Hate\u201d, a song written as deliberate retaliation to a very infuriating article concerning the murder of Dimebag Darrell. In this article, the writer, gave praise to the murderer, Nathan Gale, showing no remorse, no sympathy, and no love for guitarist, Dimebag Darrell. Needless to say, this got under a LOT of Metal fans, especially Robert Flynn, vocalist to Machine Head. You can definitely hear the anger behind his voice in this song. Now just put that song in this album of more gems, and you got yourself, one hell of a thrash album.


5. The System Has Failed \u2013 Megadeth

\"\"
Megadeth, right before the Millenium hit, took a nasty trip in their musical direction. Ever since \u201cCountdown to Extinction\u201d, Dave Mustaine was just not as satisfied with the music. Countdown was so close to hitting number one on the billboard, and he just knew in himself it was only gonna get harder. And with his guitarist no longer wanting to work in the Metal genre, things were just getting grim for Megadeth\u2019s future. Well\u2026he got his game together and in 2004, he kicked back into Thrash Metal, with an album, one reviewer called \u201cDamn near perfect\u201d. And let\u2019s face it\u2026it was the best Megadeth had sounded since the good days, with songs like \u201cThe Scorpion\u201d and \u201cDie Dead Enough\u201d just blasting through the album. Hell, even the cartoon show \u201cDuck Dodgers\u201d featured a song from this album. And Megadeth has been sounding good ever since, releasing more gems like \u201cUnited Abominations\u201d, and \u201cEndgame\u201d in the later years. It\u2019s good to have Dave Mustaine back in the game. Even if his albums aren\u2019t going number one on the billboard. I don\u2019t think he cares anymore. Just look at what Billboard popularity did to Metallica\u2026


4. Tempo of the Damned \u2013 Exodus

\"\"
Remember that band from San Fransisco, that had the guitarist from Metallica, and kicked ass, even after the guitarist went to Metallica? Where the hell were they in the 90\u2032s? I\u2019ll tell you where they weren\u2019t. Around. After 1992, the band broke up, split. Reunions came and went. There wasn\u2019t new material in sight. Well\u20262004 saw a change to that. And damn\u2026it sounded wonderful. Sure, fans would likely still choose the earlier material over this, but it was a great triumph over their last studio work, \u201cForce of Habit\u201d. It was a great way to come back into the scene, and a great way to show the fans, \u201cWe\u2019re not dead yet.\u201d And they only went to work after 2004, giving us three more studio albums, and a re-recording of their first album. If you ask me none meet the quality of this album, but it just goes to show Thrash Metal is coming back baby\u2026


3. Omega Wave \u2013 Forbidden

\"\"
Speaking of new material from old bands, ever heard of Forbidden? Well I didn\u2019t until they came and played at a small metro tavern type thing. I guess they were around in the early 80\u2032s, and late 90\u2032s. And then disappeared. And sadly I wasn\u2019t actually in the concert. I just had someone get me a CD. A purchase to this day I don\u2019t at all regret making. \u201cOmega Wave\u201d was filled with triumph, after triumph, after triumph of full Thrash Metal energy. The vocals screamed, the drums blasted, the solos shredded, and you were just BEGGING for more. You know you got a good album if you\u2019re begging for more. I am desperately hoping these guys return to the studio again, because this album was mind-blowing. It\u2019s not often that a blind CD purchase I make gives me such thrill.


2. World Painted Blood \u2013 Slayer
\"\"

Let\u2019s face it. You CAN\u2019T have a Thrash Metal list without listing\u2026AT LEAST ONCE, the very masters of Thrash. Slayer is about as dark, as evil, and as perfect as Thrash Metal will ever get. And let\u2019s just say that though they returned to Thrash in 2001 with \u201cGod Hates Us All\u201d and 2006 with \u201cChrist Illusion\u201d, both those albums though great, lacked something. Well, whatever was lacking, was there in 2009\u2032s \u201cWorld Painted Blood\u201d, and marked yet another successful chapter in Slayer\u2019s long, controversial, and energetic career as one of the best, if not the best Thrash Metal band in the history of Metal. Hanneman and King, both shredded away. Araya was ranting and shouting as he always had before (regardless of his neck surgery). And with Lombardo\u2019s return, I think it was a full blown explosive re-entry from Slayer\u2019s trek through the desert. This album, shouted to fans, \u201cWe\u2019re back, and we are here to stay!\u201d And with a new album soon coming\u2026it\u2019s only questioning on how it could get any better.


1. Worship Music \u2013 Anthrax
\"\"
The return of Anthrax could not have gone any better. Years of unsuccessful albums and little energy cost Anthrax dearly. And to be honest, I did not at all have high expectations for their upcoming, and highly anticipated \u201cWorship Music\u201d. Well\u2026one can imagine my shock at to how beautiful it was. It opened perfectly. It played on, perfectly. And ended perfectly. And I wished it never ended because it quickly became my favorite Anthrax album, and my pick for 2011\u2032s album of the year. The return of Joey\u2019s voice was highly praised by the fanbase, and I don\u2019t hold any dislikes there. His voice easily doubled in power with his return. Some of the songs on this album were catchy as hell, and hearing the intense beats and riffs back in the band that made it big in the 80\u2032s was just awesome. If there is one album that defines Thrash Metal\u2019s comeback, this is it.<\/DIV><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
