An acquired ability to decipher the lyrics of Metal singers without any trouble at all. Some Metalheads never acquire this ability, having to either resort to searching up the lyrics or making up their own. If you ask what the lyrics to a song are near a person with Metal Ear, you'll likely be regarded with disgust and maybe an exasperated answer.
Guy: Why are you even listening to this crap? I can't make out a word of it.
Metalhead: That's because you never listen to it, and you obviously don't have the Metal Ear.
Guy: You're lying, I bet you don't even know what they're saying.
Metalhead: Get out of my car. Now.

A subgenre of metal music, considered by many to be the original extreme metal genre. It essentially began as a derivative of speed metal, played by bands like Motorhead and Overkill. Thrash metal took the high speed aspect of such bands, and added NWOBHM influenced melodies, and more progressive elements to the music.
Thrash metal's origins trace back to the early 1980's, and San Fransisco is considered the birthplace of most of the thrash greats. Thrash metal bands include Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, Exodus, Kreator, etc. It has proved to be very influential to almost every metal style that has come about since it's inception, and has experienced somewhat of a popularity revival in recent years.
