some punk crossover some metal. Dark Angel Metal Church Lethal Agression Impulse Manslaughter Hirax Zoetrope Venom Celtic Frost Possesed (well maybe their death metal but good 80's metal) Nuclear Assault, DRI, COC, Carnivore, Cro-mags, Sixty Nine, Septic Flesh, Exciter?(unveiling the wicked was kind of thrashy to me), Agnostic Front(thrashy hardcore), Suicidal Tendencies, Overkill, Heathen, Testament Flotsam and Jetsam etc.
damn I forgot about Whiplash and the great Canadian thrash masters Sacrifice! Would you consider Forbidden thrash? Agent Steele? Nasty Savage?
Forbidden - yes Agent Steele - no Nasty Savage - Nasty Ronny RULES !!! hahaha i think they were brutal enough to be considered thrash back then so yes.
I like wayne era too. They were good with both line-ups. As far as the early Powermad.... it sounds like it was recorded in a garage. It's really not that good. I think it has four or five songs on it. I have it somewhere, but trust me.... Absolute Power is the only one that matters. Bryant
Testament - The Legacy Death Angel - The Ultra Violence Dark Angel - Darkness Descends Kreator - Pleasure to Kill Sepultura - Arise Sabbat - History of a Time to Come Hobb's Angel of Death - Self Titled Exhorder - Slaughter in the Vatican Nuclear Assault - Handle With Care Sadus - Illusions
wow, aren't you lucky...I want spectrum of death so dam much best thrash ever...Only 500 pre release copies ever made
Some not mentioned thus far: Holy Moses - Finished with the dogs Incubus - Serpents Temptation (original recording, not the re-recorded ver.) Sacred Reich - Ignorance Evil Dead - Annihilation of Civilization
flotsam and jetsam - quatro flotsam and jetsam - high vio-lence - eternal nightmare overkill - the years of decay most of my favorite albums are made by the big four
Thrash is my least favourite Metal genre so far, but I still listen to lots of stuff from the 80s... well, I feel tempted to say that Anthrax's "Among The Living" is the best Thrash album ever made (and the only Anthrax album I actually enjoy), but as it has to be outside the big 4, I have to vote for PENTAGRAM (Chilean band, not the Turkish or American with the same name)... their self-title album was rather groundbreaking back in the years.
Vendetta - Go and Live...Stay and Die Vendetta - Brain Damage ^^^ two of my favorite thrash albums ever^^^ Testament - The Legacy Heathen - Breaking the Silence Flotsam & Jetsam - Doomsday for the Deceiver Flotsam & Jetsam - No Place For Disgrace Death Angel - The Ultra-Violence Overkill - Taking Over Overkill - Feel the Fire Metal Church - s/t Forbidden - Forbidden Evil Sacred Reich - Ignorance Exodus - Bonded by Blood Sacrifice - Forward to Termination Cities - Annihilation Absolute
The big 4? If thats the bands that i think then it would have to be 1)Testament 2)Exodus 3)Annihilator 4)Venom
Yeah Testament are very much Thrash, maybe with the exception of The Ritual. Certainly The Legacy is thrash and for me one of the best thrash albums of all time.
Except for Sepultura I will not call the rest South American I have to check those Darkness releases, I enjoyed the third album albeit I acknowledge the fact that was a change from it's predecessors. NP: Beyond Fear - 'Telling Lies'
Hallows Eve - Tales Of Terror - I wasnt impressed with that album beyond the track plunging into megadeath. Maybe i missed something?
1983-1989 TOP 5 FAVORITE THRASH RECORDS BESIDES THE BIG 4 1 pleasure to kill-kreator 2 tales of terror-hallows eve 3 beneath the remains-sepultura 4 bonded by blood by exodus 5 terrible certainty-kreator
