I wouldnt say Pantera are much of a thrashband. They went from glam metal --> plain and simple heavy metal. thats the way i see it anyhow.
true, i actually don't consider Pantera and Sepultura as thrash metal because they're a bit heavier. but they definitely have thrash metal roots so it's easier to just lump them in. heavy metal is so broad these days.
yeah i know Pantera started off glam but Phil used to roadie for Exhorder and that's where the thrash influence came in for Cowboys from Hell onwards. if you listen to Exhorder and Pantera you'll notice a similarity.
Voivod is one of those bands, like Sabbat, that sound different on each album. i guess you could say Testament too. the early stuff is much different from later albums. for Voivod the real thrash albums are War & Pain and Rrroooaaarrr.
