I read about this band on one of the Skateboarding Web Mags and I spent months looking for their music. I guess I assumed that they were so obscure that they wouldn't be on eMusic but sho' 'nuff they were there right under my nose.
Nihilist cranks out no-holds-barred thrash metal that is in line with the campy styles of Municipal Waste and Austrian Death Machine. Their songs are about leather, beer, bitches and dead shit. What more is there?

Gama Bomb - Tales From The Grave In Space (2009)

I fucking love Thrash Metal!!  I present to you Gama Bomb, a new(ish) thrash metal band throwing down some old school thrash metal.  Spaceships, aliens, ninjas, witches, skeletons, ghosts, mummies and among other things Mussolini.  "Tales from the Grave in Space" is a combination of Anthrax moshing, Iron Maiden screaming and Slayer's speed.

Here's a sample of the song "New Eliminators Of Atlantis BC":

Municipal Waste - Massive Aggressive (2009)

Municipal Waste is another one of my favorite "young" bands kicking out some old school style Thrash Metal.  By "young" I mean that they were probably being conceived in the back-seat of a car when Anthrax released "Among the Living".  Municipal Waste's two previous albums have a campy, poke fun at metal themes but on "Massive Aggressive" they seem to have taken a more serious approach.  I wouldn't surprised if these guys started out as a D.R.I. cover band, shit you could probably fool someone into thinking this is a "new" D.R.I. album it so dead on.
Here's a clip of the song "The Wrath of the Severed Head":

Lazarus A.D. - The Onslaught (2007)

Here's some kick ass old school thrash metal for ya.  Lazarus A.D.'s 2007 release "The Onslaught" could have easily been released 20 years ago.  And if it were it would have been passed over due to the massive amount of thrash and speed metal bands being pumped out.  As an old school metal head I find it reassuring that there are some kids out there that have embraced metal without ruining it.

President Evil – Thrash’n’ Roll Asshole Show (2006)

Ok why am I just now becoming aware of these guys?  WTF!   I have been missing out on some kick ass thrash metal.  Tight riffs, pounding drums that sound like a combination of Megadeth and Slayer with a healthy dose of hardcore on top.
