The Big 4 of Metal

After a while of posting mainly of electronic and dance music with the exception of Taylor Swift, we decided to introduce the heavy and dark side of music. Metal, is one of the genres we highly praise and we are sure some of you also do it, so to decently introduce it to our blog we decided to dedicate a post to the Great 4 of Thrash Metal -Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax-
Thrash metal is a genre derived from heavy metal, characterized by insanely fast and heavy guitar riffs, loud mindblowing drums and dark lyrics. Out of the vast list of bands that can be mentioned, we can say 4 of them are really outstanding out of them, previously mentioned.

Metallica- Is one of the most succesful bands of the metal industry. it provided us with various moments of headbanging and made us wish we could play the guitar as well as  Kirk Hammett. Leaded by James Hetfield in vocals and rhythm guitar, Robert Trujillo in bass, Lars Ulrich in Drums and Kirk Hammett in the lead guitar. Some memorable songs: Master of Puppets, One, Enter Sandman, Nothing Else Matters, Fade To Black, Trapped Under Ice, The Day That Never Comes. *

Megadeth- What can be called the esssence of modern Thrash Metal. Maintaining its heavy, fast songs with ironical and sarcastic lyrics, praised by some, hated by others. Has achieved a high status among metal fans. Leaded by Dave Mustaine in vocals and rhythm guitar, Dave Ellefson in bass, Shawn Drover in drums and Chris Broderick in lead guitars. Memorable songs: Peace Sells, A Tout Le Monde, Symphony of Destruction, Tornado Of Souls, Sweating Bullets, This Day We Fight, Sudden Death. *

Slayer- The living image of pure hell, the way we see it. The band from which not one single album is considered anything but Thrash. One of the loudest, fastes and darkest bands in the whole industry. It is praised for their outstanding live shows and heavy records. Leaded by Tom Araya in bass and vocals, Jeff Hanneman in lead guitars, Kerry King in rhythm guitars and Dave Lombardo in drums. outstanding songs: Raining Blood, Angel of Death, Hell Awaits, Dittohead, South of Heaven, Stain of Mind, World Painted Blood.

Anthrax- An underated giant. A band known for its insane metal anthems which basically symbolized the whole Thrash movement. It is a decent carrier of the genre. Leaded by Joey Belladonna in vocals, Scott Ian in rhythmic guitar, Rob Caggiano in lead guitars, Frank Bello in bass and Carlie Benante in drums. Memorable songs: Madhouse, Indians, Caught in a Mosh, Antisocial, I Am The Law
