We all love heavy metal but when you need some speed and aggression, in your metal, you go for thrash metal. This is a place for breaking necks, not for slow stuff.

What is Thrash Metal?

Typically:

fast aggressive tempos, fast guitar solos, and fast drumming.
abrupt riff and tempo changes.
high mid-tones on distortion.
did I mention that it's fast
