I want to know the answer to the following question:
What are some thrash metal bands?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The creation of thrash metal, which mixed heavy metal with elements of hardcore punk from about 1982, particularly by Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer, helped to create extreme metal and further remove the style from hard rock, although a number of these bands or their members would continue to record some songs closer to a hard rock sound.". Is that enough to answer the question?
