I came across a Facebook post that rated 160 thrash albums last year. Only being familiar with some of those 160 bands, I searched for each on Spotify and started to create a playlist of them. I encourage you to play the playlist to likely discover many bands and albums you haven’t heard of.
Note: Not all of the albums are available on Spotify or available in every region (such as Pripjat’s Chain Reaction) so unfortunately not all 160 are present nor playable in your region.
