Thrash metal is a extreme, subgenre of heavy metal that is characterized usually by its fast tempo and aggression. Songs of the genre typically use fast percussive and low-register guitar riffs, overlaid with shredding-style lead work. Lyrics of thrash metal songs often deal with social issues, often using direct and denunciatory language, an approach which partially overlaps with the hardcore genre. The "Big Four" bands of thrash metal are Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax who simultaneously created and popularized the genre in the early 1980s.
Some common characteristics of thrash metal are fast guitar riffs with aggressive picking styles and lightning fast solos. Drums in thrash metal songs feature the extensive use of the snare drum and double bass drumming .
The origins of thrash metal are generally traced to the late 1970s and early 1980s, when a number of bands began incorporating the sound of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, creating a new genre and developing into a separate movement from punk rock and hardcore. This genre is more aggressive compared to its relative, speed metal, and can be seen in part to be a reaction to the lighter, more widely acceptable sounds and themes of glam metal.
I will fill your life with darkness, pain and chaos.
I will lead you straight into the grave
Enter now a world of despair, grief, and sorrow.
Everything once colorful will now turn grey
Like a drug you can't resist, I'm in charge, I'm in control.
Grinding teeth, clenching fist,
the time has come to let my wrath unfold
I've got vengeance on my mind
Revenge will soon be mine
Obliterate, Annihilate - kill crush, destroy
Everything you care for,
Everyone you love,
Everything you cherish I will destroy
Everything you care for,
everyone you love,
everything will perish, I Will Destroy
I will turn your life into a wide awake nightmare,
throw you into a void of insanity
I will crush all your future hopes, dreams, and wishes.
Happiness will forever be replaced with misery
Like a drug you can't resist, I'm in charge, I'm in control.
Grinding teeth, clenching fist,
the time has come to let my wrath unfold
I've got vengeance on my mind
Revenge will soon be mine
Obliterate, Annihilate - kill crush, destroy
Everything you care for,
Everyone you love,
Everything you cherish I will destroy
Everything you care for,
everyone you love,
everything will perish, I Will Destroy
Your misery is my mission in life
