Crossover Thrash

Crossover Thrash is a subgenre of thrash metal that combines elements of hardcore punk and thrash metal. It is characterized by fast tempos, aggressive guitar riffs, and shouted vocals. The genre emerged in the mid-1980s, when bands such as D.R.I., Suicidal Tendencies, and Corrosion of Conformity began to mix elements of punk and metal. Crossover Thrash is often seen as a bridge between the two genres, and it has been influential in the development of other genres such as metalcore and nu metal.
