Underrated Thrash V: Unholy Crappoly
It’s been a while since I made one of these, I’ve had lots of bands backed up on my thrash google doc and I noticed there have been some really good thrash lists being made lately so I thought I’d pitch in with some stuff that I found over the course of the last few years or so. I don’t normally like to make lists this long but we’ll see how it goes. I don’t have a working computer at the moment so this will all be typed on my phone…this is gonna suck. |
