When I first heard the song Schizophrenic by Greek thrashers Mentally Defiled, so many of the riffs came out of nowhere and smacked me hard across the face.
If the chorus riff from this song does not make you stand attention and love this band, you have no metal soul.
Check it out.

Injury ROCKS!
My God, score another one for Reverbnation! Just a few clicks and I am neck-deep into thrash bands I never would know exist.
Which brings me to Itay's own Injury. These guys play some punishing thrash -catchy, harsh and ruthless.
Here is what their bio says on YouTube:
Injury was born on September 2008, from the collaboration of four musicians friends from their local scene, with several live acts performed. The quartet immediately got known for a sound made of sharp and granitic riffs, that never make one forget the '80/'90 attitude of the old style thrash. Injury's music combines the immediacy of the "anthems" of the genre with the constant research of the sound power of the last modern productions, getting ispired by bands like Anthrax, Megadeth, Exodus, Heathen, Testament, etc.
Check out their tune Denying My Soul.
I love it! Check them out at MySpace and Reverbnation.

Warbeast ROCKS!
Warbeast's Krush the Enemy has been out for nearly one year. I could have waited a month to post this as a happy one year anniversary, but I couldn't get the main riff from "Stalker" out of my head, so here it is.
For those of you who are not familiar with either this band or their past, let me offer the following: Fans of Gammacide and/or Rigor Mortis should check out the full Warbeast album. Fans of Warbeast should check out Gammacide and Rigor Mortis. Why? Because they all have band members in common. Woo-HOO! 'Nuff said.
Check out Warbeast here and here.

Blunt Force Trauma ROCKS!
Blunt Force Trauma plays hardcore crossover with so much intensity, you can feel the mosh pit sweat and bruises as the music thunders from your speakers.
This Austin, Texas band has been thrashin' on and off since 1999. Since then, they have gone through a few member changes, and in 2007 they snagged up legendary D.R.I. drummer Felix Griffin.
Man, their music is a welcome kick to the gut. Check out this tune from their Hatred for the State release.

Kublai Kahn ROCKS!
I love doing research on old school thrash bands because it is inevitable that I will find something of which I've never heard. It's a bonus if I love the music as well.
Well, I just came across the band Kublai Kahn on one of the various metal blogs and I want to slightly injure myself for never hearing them before.
After streaming a few Kublai Kahn tunes on YouTube, I had to hit my blog and post this vid:
From their one and only album Annihilation (1987). Killer speed/thrash in the Kill 'Em All/Killing's My Business vein. Plus, their vocalist Greg Handevidt has some of the absolute best pipes for this type of music.
Nothing much more to say except KAAAAAAAAHHHHN!!!!!

Diamond Plate ROCKS!
I've just recently been turned on to Diamond Plate, a thrash band consisting of some extremely talented guys in their late teens!
As I searched online for their website and vids, I learned they were recently signed to Earache! What a break! These guys deserve it and I can't wait until their debut.
Check out their MySpace page here.

Top 100 Thrash Albums
The Thrash Unlimited forum held a vote for the top 100 thrash metal albums (find it here on this thread).
Well, now you can hear a riff off of every album on the list thanks to the Thrash til Death channel on YouTube!
The 10 vids are quite an impressive endeavor. The poster named ThrashMetalRiffs, who compiled these, said these videos are "Great for new thrashers wanting to be introduced to new bands."
Agreed!
Check out video #1 here and move through the list.

Toxik Society ROCKS!
Man, do I love to discover new bands that tear my head clean off. Toxik Society, a thrash band out of Spain, did just that with their latest demo.
The three-song demo that I was able to download here, is a ferocious thrash attack with quick riff-rock undertones.
Here is one of my faves, titled Human War.
Check them out on their MySpace page.

Dr. Living Dead rocks
For those of you who haven't heard of Dr. Living Dead (and who like a little humor in their thrash) are in for a treat. These guys like to mix a little SOD and Slayer with their Suicidal Tendencies to produce something that crushes!
Unbelievably, as of this post, they are unsigned, but you can download their latest demo for free at their web site here.
