I see a heavy "Overkill" influence in this THRASH METAL article. True, METALLICA was not probably the first thrash band, but they were among the first and by far the most succesful one. So much mention goes about bands like OVERKILL and HOBBS ANGEL OF DEATH while there's nothing on other VERY seminal bands like RAZOR (Canada) and the incredible ZNOWHITE (U.S.) who are also among the first "thrash" bands. Same goes to L.A.'s SAVAGE GRACE. One very important aspect that is crucially missing in the article is the mention of punk music and the major influence it had on Thrash Metal. Had it not been for the pioneering speed blasts of bands like MINOR THREAT, CIRCLE JERKS, DISCHARGE, BAD BRAINS and HUSKER DU, there wouldn't be any thrash. There is also a noticeable difference between conventional metal like JUDAS PRIEST and IRON MAIDEN and the thrash exploits of METALLICA and SLAYER. True, MAIDEN and PRIEST gave thrash the technical edge, but it was definitely punk and hardcore music that gave the genre its over the top sound. VENOM and MOTORHEAD are correctly mentioned but credit was due to the british hardcore scene, with bands like GBH and DISCHARGE. So intense were these bands that they actually made the diabolical VENOM sound positively tame! All in all, it the article is very consice and to the point. It's just that it gives off the impression that OVERKILL were THE first band. Back in the early 80's, there were probably MANY bands doing this stuff, but very few could afford to do a demo or a decent recording. History remembers those who actually put something out.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Kastas. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Kastas~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:51, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
