Neo-Thrash is a tag given to modern thrash metal, which is not just a modern version of the old (1980's) thrash metal, but creates a new, modern sound. Neo-thrash is often associated with the so called "modern metal" (Mercenary, Scar Symmetry), thrash-influenced metalcore (Chimaira, Fear My Thoughts), and other, heavier metal styles (The Arcane Order, Hatesphere). .
