The Cross

First full length record of this old-schooler band. Doom at its finest: melancholic, slow and lots of beautiful, guitar driven riffs.

Brazilian Thrash Metal scene

I've been into some underground Thrash Metal bands lately. Bands still active which haven't yet achieved the cult status (or stardom). They're worth a check.

• Whipstriker (RJ) - Crude, dirt and distorted Thrash/Speed
• Cerberus Attack (SP) - Thrash Metal. 

Svatan

New band from veteran musicians. Straight forward Black Metal.

Cathedral

Doom!

New Thrash Metal Bands

I must confess at first I didn't like this new - by now, not so new - Thrash Metal wave. Yeah, I am a hater, I know. But I've found so many good records lately. Here are some:

• HeXen - Being and Nothingness (2012): Unfortunately the band split in 2012. It reads in their Metal-Archive's that they play "Melodic Thrash Metal with Progressive influences". If I had read this before actually listening, I probably wouldn't have given this a try.
• Warbringer - Woe to the Vanquished (2017): I knew their first two records and they are killer! With time they begun to develop their own sound, expanding their musical variety.
