Top Ten Heaviest Thrash Metal Albums

The Top Ten
1 Reign In Blood - Slayer

It's fast, brutal, pushed the limits, just all around heavy. When you listen to this album, by the time it's over, you have no idea what just hit you.

2 Black Metal - Venom

Created Black Metal... This is 1 hour and 6 minutes of brutal, satanic lyrics and crazy guitar riffs.

It's not even a thrash metal album, only the self titled song is thrash

3 Obsessed by Cruelty - Sodom

Sodom was an influential Black Metal act. Their early work was Black Thrash, scary, crazy, dark music while still being Thrash.

4 Pleasure to Kill - Kreator

This should definitely be #1. While Reign in Blood is a landmark album and it's amazing as well, you can't really get any heavier than the legendary KREATOR! enough said.

Haha, people say bands like Metallica influenced extreme metal. Metallica are awesome in their own right, but Creeping Death and Pleasure to Kill are to COMPLETELY different sides of thrash.

This should be number one. Reign in Blood is heavy too, but this album is a little bit heavier!

How is Obsessed by Cruelty and Show No Mercy above this? Have people even listened to this?

5 Seven Churches - Possessed

Possessed is credited with being the first band to use Death Metal vocals, although they are still pure thrash from the Bay Area scene.

6 Schizophrenia - Sepultura

Sepultura was Thrash as Thrash can be, but they had the Death Metal vocals in their music which made them the greatest Brazilian Thrash Band ever.

7 Persecution Mania - Sodom
8 Show No Mercy - Slayer

Slayer's debut scared everyone! About 30 years later, they are still as brutal as ever.

Isn't this Slayer's softest album?

9 Beneath the Remains - Sepultura
10 Welcome to Hell - Venom

Venom's debut is crazy. They aren't actually satanic, but people did not know that back then, they were scared of Venom

The Contenders
11 Darkness Descends - Dark Angel
12 Epidemic of Violence - Demolition Hammer

Can't get heavier thrash than this

13 Agent Orange - Sodom
14 Hell Awaits - Slayer
15 Arise - Sepultura
16 Tapping the Vein - Sodom

Death-infused thrash. Can't get any heavier than this

17 Far Beyond Driven - Pantera
18 Kill 'Em All - Metallica

Heavy for Metallica standards, but not as heavy as the very heavy thrash albums.

19 Christ Illusion - Slayer
20 God Hates Us All - Slayer
21 Spectrum of Death - Morbid Saint
22 M-16 - Sodom

If you didn't vote for this you must not have heard it.

23 Coma of Souls - Kreator
24 World Painted Blood - Slayer
25 Ironbound - Overkill
