Vibrations Of Doom
This is a very cool website which offers real player files of a wide range of classic 80's bands, many of which belong to the thrash metal genre, and are listed here. You can listen to whole albums and EP's, and get to know many obscure acts. The sound quality is not high (32 Kbps), but is good enough for you to get a fairly good idea of the bands' music. All these albums can actually be purchased on a CD-R, from the person running the site, for a very reasonable price.
This is an extensive list of thrash metal bands featuring some very rare acts as well as all the "usual suspects". It hasn't been updated for a long time, but the number of bands you can find information about is considerable.
A cool website with a regularly updated Reviews/News/Interviews/Concert Pics sections as well as a small MP3 one where you can hear some young bands making their first steps into the metal realm.
A Rock/Metal Webzine based in the UK. It features a wide variety of Live Reviews, CD & DVD Reviews as well as many Interviews. This is not a strictly-for-thrash venture, but the competent and careful coverage of the metal scene it provides will keep the fan coming back to it more than just now and then.
A website dedicated entirely to the thrash metal genre. Apart from the obligatory Bands/Reviews/Interviews Sections, you can find interesting articles there about the Bay Area thrash metal scene, explanations and definitions of different metal genres as well as polls made by the creators of the website as well as a couple voted by the readers.
The name of this website would not make you guess what the name of the game is: it is entirely dedicated to the thrash metal genre consisting of various forums where the fans can discuss their favourite bands as well as promote other, more or less, known ones. Another valuable addition to it is the radio station where you can listen to your favourite bands all the year round. A compulsory site for thrash metal fans.
An excellent site with reviews of classic thrash metal albums which could serve as a very good reference point. The website covers all the famous thrash metal acts, but will also introduce you to a certain number of less known ones. You can learn a lot about the genre from there.
A cool webiste which concentrates on traditional, thrash, death, black and doom metal with pages and forums dedicated to those genres. There is a page which provides a brief definition for every existing metal genre. The site officially hosts bands among which one can recognize some big names from the thrash metal scene: past and present (Forbidden, Wrathchild America, Mastery).
Dedicated to the worldwide thrash metal scene, this site is built to promote all underground thrash metal bands around the world. The site works as a community project, so keep on sending your news, your music, pictures and more.
A good website, which mainly concentrates on the 80's US power/thrash metal scene, containing reviews and demotapes. It's a good resource for fans of the American retro sound, who will find both recommendations and actual music files to get better acquainted with this essential part of the thrash metal field. Please note that the site is written in German only.
Give a listen to this great idea: a thrash metal maniac has put together some of the most memorable riffs in thrash metal history to produce several riff-symphonies which will be a very good reminder about the past and present state of the genre with some of its most notable practitioners included, as well as quite a few not very known, but no less deserving, ones. There are 60 videos featuring 558 riffs, all of which have an album and a track name, played by 57 thrash metal bands, plus additional 18 bands not particularly belonging to the genre. There are altogether 9 hours of riffs here which will make you head bang well beyond the point of no return.
