Metal Hammer has been running editorials throughout 2018 looking at the 10 best thrash songs from certain decades. The PRP has now compiled them into one completely comprehensive list, which you can find below. I'd say for the most part Metal Hammer nails it, but I feel like they stick a little too close to the classics in the 2000 – 2018 portion.
No Revocation? No Havok? No Vektor? I'm sure I'm missing a ton, but those three right off the bat are obvious misses to me. So what do you think? Is Metal Hammer on the mark or did they screw this one up completely?
