    After re thinking about consistency Slayer would make it to S due to the first 6 killer albums 🤟 (yes divine is great too)
  • Honestly think Testament's magnus opus album will be the next one. They have The Gathering line up together now but with Skolnick on lead guitar, which is all that was missing from that album for me. Super promising, can't wait to hear it.
  • @sadboi7537
    Power Trip was on the way to becoming absolutely massive. RIP Riley.
  • S: Megadeth, Sodom, Testament A: Death Angel, Forbidden, Heathen, Sepultura, Metallica, Power Trip B: Anthrax, Destruction, Flotsam and Jetsam, Kreator, Soulfly, Suicidal Tendencies, Toxic Holocaust C: Annihilator, DRI, Exodus, Slayer, Overkill D: Tankard, Lich King, Municipal Waste
  • @reducetheatoms
    yes I will scream in the comments dude THANK YOU FOR PUTTING MEGADETH FIRST DUDE YOU ROCK
  • @loganc1158
    Good list but there is a lot missing off lol. Could’ve had Vektor, Dark Angel, Razor, Sacrifice, Voivod and more. My favorite thrash bands are Kreator, Sepultura, Testament, Megadeth, and Metallica
  • @simongordon9239
    Apart from your shocking ranking of Flotsam, I pretty much share your sentiments. I’d strongly recommend listening to Flotsam’s last album again Blood in the water. It’s a thrash masterpiece
  • Awesome ranking Questy! I reckon mine would look pretty similar to yours, although personally, I would rank Flotsam and Jetsam a bit higher. By the way, I was wondering if you are considering making a sequel to that "Metal Bands as Video Games" video, as that was a video I really enjoyed watching from your channel.
  • In my humble opinion Testament should be S tier, they are just so good. For me they are my second favorite thrash band after Metallica!
  • @nonserviam7723
    I can't really disagree with the rankings. Mine would be pretty close to the same. Though the list gets an F for not having Whiplash and a few others like Dark Angel and Razor as well.
  • @leomorax412
    Sad how many bands are missing.. Vektor, Voivod, Suicidal Angels, Havok, Morbid Saint, Vio-Lence, Warbringer, Pripjat, Evile, Demolition Hammer, Sacrifice, Razor, Exumer, Xentrix, Nuclear Assault, maybe Exmortus, Skeletonwitch, Dark Angel, Carnivore... Fuck there are too many 😂 someone needs to create a remake of the tier list with more bands
  • @pvrecarnage6661
    Theres no Rust in Peace, Master of Puppets, Agent Orange, Pleasure to Kill The New Order: exist
  • Death Angel is underrated, I’d agree. Dark Angel is underrated as well I’d say. Nice to see some love for Overkill.
  • @lucatjoe
    Been loving these ranking videos. Would love to see some on blackened thrash or early death or some more albums, maybe even all songs from *band*. Keep em up!
  • @EmrahUncu
    Two words for Testament: The Legacy.
  • @thevomit5851
    Generally Testament's magnum opus is considered to be The New Order. Personally I'd say Souls of Black is the magnum opus and I'd put it ALMOST on par with Rust in Peace.
