I wouldn't consider myself a snob but the NY scene was mainly the 80's with Agnostic Front, Crumbsuckers, Leeway and Ludichrist leading the way whilst other bands emerged on the scene in other parts of the U.S such as Corrosion Of Conformity ( early stuff only) and D.R.I.
Some of these bands were lumped in with Thrash but that's only because they emerged at the same time as Thrash was making it big but they had far more in common with Punk than Metal and then merged to a certain degree into the metal scene either by being labelled with a Crossover tag or assimilating a metal sound.
D.R.I's Crossover is probably THE album that encapsulates this but this is hardly Metal or Punk but both.
