Voivod are probably the one of the only bands that I WOULDN'T put into the Thrash genre. Sure they got noticed around the heyday of the best Thrash but their first two albums were ragged, unapologetic and almost Punk/Hardcore in their attitude (still great) and then they they just stuck a big finger up to everyone and started playing what they wanted and being magnificent at it too.
Sure they used angular, crunchy riffs but I can think of very few bands that sound like Voivod and in fact a lot of Thrash purists at the time just couldn't get into them at the time.
Good call on Anacrusis too whoever mentioned them. A decent band ahead of their time.
