Regional Scenes
Like many musical genres, thrash had its own regionally-based scenes, each of had a slightly different sound. The three most well known of these scenes are:
[edit] Bay Area thrash metal scene
Main article: Bay Area thrash metal
The Bay Area Thrash Scene scene was considered the most important of the three major thrash scenes, as it is essentially where thrash started. Bay Area thrash tends to be the most progressive and technical of the 3 major thrash scenes with flashy lead guitar work and progressive influenced song strucutures. Bay Area thrash bands also tended to have singers with high pitched, more epic vocal styles as opposed to European thrash bands such as Kreator who had generally more death metal style vocals or East Coast bands like S.O.D. who had more punk-influenced vocals. Some of the most popular bands on the Bay Area scene were Exodus, Vio-lence, Heathen, Testament and Metallica. Also, while actually based in Los Angeles, Megadeth and Slayer are sometimes grouped with Bay Area thrash due to being geographically close and musically similar.
[edit] East Coast (New York/New Jersey) Thrash Scene
The East Coast thrash scene was also important to thrash. The East Coast bands tended to be more punk and hardcore influenced than West Coast bands, with more emphasis on aggression and speed than technicality (although this is not to say that East Coast bands were technically limited, however). They also tended to be more melodic as a result of this. Anthrax, Nuclear Assault, Overkill and Whiplash were a few of the most successful bands to come from the East Coast thrash scene.
[edit] German thrash
The last major thrash scene was the German thrash metal scene. This scene was by far the most brutal and heaviest of the 3 major thrash scenes, with many bands being a heavy influence on death metal and some even bordering on death metal itself (particularly in the vocal style).[8] The most successful bands from this scene were Kreator, Destruction, and Sodom, who all hail from Germany. The sound quickly influenced other people from neighboring nations and the term Teutonic thrash was applied to this scene. Although the sound started in Germany, the Teutonic thrash metal scene are not just bands who are from Germany, but also bands from neighboring nations.
