How about Flotsam and Jetsam? Newsted used to play with those guys.
There is also Sacred Reich.
Grip Inc. is a great band featuring Slayer's drummer (Dave Lombardo).
What about COC (Corrision of Conformity)? They sure aren't thrash but if you like the Load-St. Anger era you'd prbably dig them too. Pepper (guitar, vox) and Het influenced either other quite a bit.
The later Sentenced albums (Down - Funeral Album) sound a lot like metallica from the Black Album and on.
