Thrash Metal 

A Sub-Genre of Metal made popular during the 80's originally by bands such as Motorhead and Venom. Metallica then took the style and made it into a more popular and prominent style. Other bands through the Thrash ages are Overkill, Exodus, Testament, Megadeth, Sepultura, Vio-Lence, Dark Angel, Death Angel, Kreator and so forth.

Basically Thrash is a fast paced Metal style that usually includes lots of Palm Muting on the top E string and mega fast solo's.

Thrash Metal 

Thrash Metal is not Speed Metal. Many confuse the two genres. Thrash Metal started in the early 80's with bands like Metallica and Overkill. Thrash has a strong hardcore punk influence, while Speed Metal is mainly a faster version of traditional heavy metal. I read somewhere someone was saying Megadeth is speed metal. Not True! They are Thrash. Thrash Metal and Speed Metal are two completely different genres. Thrash has had influence on the more extreme genres and didn't show up until quite a few years after Speed Metal which started to surface in the late 70's.

Thrash Ballad 

A Thrash Ballad is a slower song done by bands that usually play aggressive thrash metal. Being a technical genre, when a Thrash Metal band writes a ballad or slower song they end up sounding different than most ballads as there is usually a very dominant use of powerchords which usually contain a melodic lead part over the chorus and/or verse, the vocals are usually clean and clear, and the solo's are usually long and melodic.
Good examples of thrash ballads would be
Return to Serenity - Testament
There Stood the Fence - Toxik
A Tout Le Monde - Megadeth
