Hmm, I could point out one of my draft pick albums, the Gathering by
Testament.

Their newest album The Formation of Damnation is supposedly good too, haven't found the need to listen to it yet, as I don't actually listen to thrash that much. I also own the Ritual by the same band, it's not bad.
As another note, unrelated to thrash metal, I'd like to praise my latest metal discovery,
Madder Mortem. I have their two latest albums,
Desiderata and
Eight Ways, and it seems I can't listen to much anything else now.
I really like the vocalist Agnete Kirkegaad, it's way too rare to hear skillful female singers who are not afraid to go for the rough and "ugly" sounds too, and fronting a band that's actually worth mentioning.

Oh, and I guess I'll have to mention
Cantata Sangui too, because I found Madder Mortem because some critic compared Cantata to Madder, so I think if you like one there's a good chance you'll like the other too, that's how it went for me anyway.

(That's their only folk-metalish track, but it's a good one.)
