What are good thrash metal bands recommendations?

Hi guys. As a Christian (follower of Christ Jesus) myself, I've just wanted to ask any spiritual mature Christians this. What are some good thrash metal bands recommendations? So far, I've listened to some speed metal (by Deep Purple, Judas Priest), progressive metal (by Dream Theater, Symphony X), and a few power metal (by Blind Guardian, DragonForce), nu metal (by Deftones, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Linkin Park), and metalcore (by Killswitch Engage, Avenged Sevenfold). Anyways, I would like to know what are the good thrash metal bands recommendations? Thank you.

Ok, I looked up what Temple Of Blood is and they're a Christian thrash metal band. I haven't listened to them yet though. As much as I'm fine with Christian metal in general, I was asking and looking for good thrash metal bands recommendations (both non-Christian and Christian ones, but mostly non-Christian ones in general).

Tourniquet and Adorned Graves are easily the best Christian thrash bands I am familiar with, although the latter mixes thrash with traditional and doom metal rather than being pure thrash. These two are often better than any secular thrash I am familiar with. As for secular, early Metallica and Megadeth are pretty essential if you’re getting into thrash

I'll throw some lesser knowns your way. Some dark themes but nothing too objectionable.

Metal Church - Metal Church & The Dark
Wargasm - Why Play Around
Whiplash - Insult to Injury
Flotsam and Jetsam - Doomsday for the Deceiver
Laaz Rockit - Know Your Enemy & Annihilation Principle
Forbidden - Forbidden Evil
Exciter - The Dark Command
End Amen - Your Last Orison

Not true.

"Beth" and "Shandi" are two of the greatest thrash songs ever written.
