A long time ago, there was a popular music rock band called Queen.

Metallica, Slayer, Meagdeth and Anthrax- spotlight on the big four of thrash metal

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

With a current thash metal revival in full swing, lets looks at thrash big four bands- Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax.

  • Metallica. One of the first wave of thrash bands, Metallica gave us 'kill 'em all' in 1983 and 'Ride the Lightning' a year later, then stepped things up with 1986's Master of puppets -an album people claim is the pinnacle of the genre. After the technicality of 'And justice for all', Metallica were catapulted into rock stardom with the 'black' album, which cause many to level claims of 'sell out' at the band. After 'load' and 're-load', fighting napster and rehab, Metallica came back out with 'St Anger', which the making of was filmed for the movie documentary 'Some kind of monster'. Last year saw the release of 'Death Magnetic', hailed as the 'best' Metallica record in years. Better than Load? Definetly. Better than Master of Puppets? Never.
