Thrash binge
Reference list for my thrash binge. Will go through the discog of most of these (already did for a select few, but years ago). Looking primarily into the more brutal, death-infused area of thrash metal, but some other picks too. Recs welcome |
| 1 |  | Demolition Hammer
Epidemic of Violence
Done.
Their demos were really fun, but in terms of full-lengths Epidemic is the only one I'll come back to - the rest was pretty much a disappoint.
Time Bomb 1.6
Epidemic of Violence 4.2
Tortured Existence 3.74
Necrology Demo 4.1
Skull Fracturing Nightmare Demo 3.7 |
| 2 |  | Hypnosia
Extreme Hatred
Done.
The EP got me excited but the LP was a disappoint. Not much I'll come back to.
Extreme Hatred 2.5
Violent Intensity 3.65 |
| 3 |  | Sadus
A Vision of Misery
Done.
From the first demo I knew this would be a band I like. I owe their first two LPs a second listen because they were really fun. The third LP changes direction a fair bit and was a bit of a disappoint, so I feel justified in no listening to what came after and is rated low anyway. Also I dig the art of the first two LPs aye
A Vision of Misery 3.2
Swallowed in Black 3.95
Illusions 3.6
Death to Posers Demo 3.6 |
| 4 |  | Dark Angel
Darkness Descends
Done.
Another band which I found thoroughly unimpressive, mostly annoying, and with only scarce tracks that I enjoyed - e.g. Time Does Not Heal t/t. Glad to be done with it really.
Time Does Not Heal 2.0
Leave Scars 2.2
Darkness Descends 2.0
We Have Arrived 2.1 |
| 5 |  | Razor
Violent Restitution |
| 6 |  | Destruction
Release from Agony
Done
Improved a whole lot on the last album I checked, but they never overcame neither the outdatedness and quirkiness of the vox not the wankeriness of some sections/solos on nearly every track. The last album I did enjoy with its darker fuller production and fatter riffage, but before that it was all very meh.
Cracked Brain 2.8
Release from Agony 3.35
Eternal Devastation 2.8
Infernal Overkill 2.8
Sentence of Death EP 2.4

| 14 |  | Possessed

| 15 |  | Stormtroopers of Death
Speak English or Die
Lol @ that band name |
| 16 |  | Forbidden
Twisted into Form
Done
Looks like I forgot to blub this one at the time, but basically the first album had a strong mid section that gave me hope that the wankeriness runining the rest might disappear, but the album after that didn't really verify this so I did not go further.
Twisted Into Form 2.7
Forbidden Evil 3.6 |
| 17 |  | HellHammer
Satanic Rites
Done
Huge disappoint with this one. I enjoyed the crass punk-ish vibe of the first demo, but after that the band just bored me on every record. Not something I'll come back to.
Apocalyptic Raids 2.1
Demon Entrails demo 1.4
Apocalyptic Raids 1990 AD 1.9
Satanic Rites demo 2.0
Triumph of Death demo 1.8
Death Fiend demo 3.4 |
| 18 |  | Voivod
Nothingface |
| 19 |  | Pestilence
Consuming Impulse
Done
I'm not going past the first album post-hiatus in 2009 because they changed style and I didn't sign up for a deathcore binge. Nice couple first albums but they fail to have a fully consistenly good, non wankery and non quirky record. Even their magnum opus Consuming Impulse felt not entirely convincing although it has plenty of jams.
Resurrection Macabre 2.0
Spheres 3.1
Testimony of the Ancients 2.4
Consuming Impulse 4.0
Malleus Maleficarum 4.05
Dysentery Demo 3.5
The Penance Demo 3.0 |

| 22 |  | Sepultura
Arise |

Terminal Redux
Ye about damn time |
| 24 |  | Anacrusis
Screams and Whispers
Done.
They didn't really convince me as a band. I see how their differ from your regular thrash, but it is not in a way I enjoy.
Screams and Whispers 3.4
Manic Impressions 3.2
Reason 3.1
Suffering Hour 2.65 |

Alice in Hell
Done
Absolutely not my thing this band, it has everything I dislike and very little of what I enjoy in thrash: solos, grandiose vocals that often border the ridicule, and only scarce riffage here and there. I'm not going to go past their first two albums given how little I enjoyed those already.
Never, Neverland 2.3
Alice in Hell 2.2 |
| 36 |  | Exhorder
Slaughter in the Vatican
Done.
I really dig their old style and this is an awesome find on my thrash journey. Really did not enjoy their musical turn with the latest album though.
Mourn the Southern Skies 1.8
The Law 3.7
Slaughter in the Vatican 4.1 |
| 37 |  | Devastation
Idolatry
Done.
I can't stand that band, especially the vocals. And the instrumentals are good and brutal at times, but rarely enough to make the listen worthwhile. Crucify me but I didn't enjoy their stuff at all.
Idolatry 1.4
Signs of life 3.15
Violent Termination 1.5 |
| 38 |  | Protector
Misanthropy
Done
Didn't quite click with this band, their EPs are cool but not perfect, and their LPs did not resonate with me at all.
The Heritage 2.7
A Shedding of Skin 2.2
Leviathan's Desire EP 3.2
Urm the Mad 1.9
