In the 1980's and Metallica was one of the first bands to invent it and i think they did. They are one of the Big Four of Thrash Metal among Anthrax Megadeth and Slayer.
Great Thrash...check out Bonded By Blood, then Pleasures of the Flesh...just go in order and avoid Force of Habit. I didn't like their new album...dunno if you would.
