== Shred ==
With thrash already concerned with speed and shredding guitar solos already popular in the Hair Metal scene, thrash had to take things even faster and flashier. Song structures were adjusted to incorporate more solos and/or with longer length.
== Downpicked Palm Mutes ==
Although thrash was often focused on speed, many prefered to downpick all palm mutes to get them more of a repetitive and percussive sound. This didn't mean that tempos were lowered, but that large amounts of practice went into getting rhythmically-consistent, fast, consecutively-downpicked notes. This requirement was often relaxed for unmuted notes or subdivisions of the normal rhythm.
