---

these are the Bands that influenced Thrash Metal like Megadeth, Metallica, and Slayer, Anthrax

A II Z
Angel Witch
Blitzkrieg
Bronz

Cloven Hoof

Def Leppard - yep they used to be the kings of this genre(listen to their first 2 albums youll be blown away how metal this band is), before they toned down to a mellodic metal that also influenced the Pop Metal genre such as Bon Jovi , Dokken, Warrant  etc.
Throughout 1979, the band won a loyal following among British hard rock/heavy metal fans, and were even initially considered the leaders of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (eventually losing that spot to Iron Maiden). This emerging popularity resulted in a major label record deal with Phonogram/Vertigo (Mercury Records in the US).

wa lagi na mention ang judas priest... wla diay to sila labot?

nahibong btaw ko bai, ngano wala sila maapil, kay bisan sa ila biography, na categorize cla as a Speed Metal band, basin sab kaha na nga 1968 sila na form so mas early sila kaysa Iron Maiden og Def Leppard.

Sa history pud mas daghan pa una sa Maiden og Def. ang reason pud ngano influencial kaayo ang duha kay sila ang first 2 bands ana nga genre ang na mainstream.
