In the 80s and early 90s, thrash metal was king! Defined by fast, aggressive rhythms, chunky guitar grooves, and socially conscious lyrics, thrash metal was propelled into the mainstream by bands like Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth. Modern thrash metal bands still draw heavily from these early influences, but also incorporate elements of other subgenres like progressive metal, death metal, power metal, or metalcore. Notably, thrash metal bands continue to use predominately standard guitar tunings in contrast to many other metal genres which have gravitated towards lower and lower tunings over time. Are you digging the new wave of thrash metal bands, or are you stuck on the classics? Let me know in the comments! Tunings Used: Slayer - Angel of Death - Eb Standard Vektor - LCD - F Standard (half step up) Metallica - Blackened - E Standard Havok - Betrayed by Technology - Eb Standard Testament - Souls of Black - E Standard Warbringer - Silhouettes - Eb Standard
