| prelude
to agony - https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=196835 | | 1 |  | Atrophy
Socialized Hate
1988, USA-NZ, straightforward
FFO: Evildead, Sacred Reich, Toxik, Whiplash, Vio-Lence | | 2 |  | Heathen
Breaking the Silence
1987, USA-CA, straightforward
Victims of Deception may be more popular but for my money this one's more consistent and less meandering. | | 3 |  | Whiplash
Insult to Injury
1989, USA-NJ, straightforward
Their most interesting and ambitious album. FFO: Forbidden, Overkill, Razor, Toxik | | 4 |  | Torture
Storm Alert
1989, USA-TX, straightforward
FFO: Slayer, Razor, Infernal Majesty | | 5 |  | Defiance (USA-CA)
Beyond Recognition
1992, USA-CA, straightforward
Their best and most well-written album. FFO: late 80s Testament, Forbidden, Atrophy, Evildead | | 6 |  | Wrathchild America
3-D
1991, USA-MD, proggy/vaguely alternative
If you want to hear a thrash band doing weird unexpected shit, try this. FFO: Stone, Omintron, Forced Entry | | 7 |  | Wehrmacht
Shark Attack
1987, USA-OR, crossover
Cryptic Slaughter's drummer involved in another lightning fast act, this one a bit more tongue-in-cheek as crossover tends to be. FFO: D.R.I., S.O.D., Cryptic Slaughter obviously | | 8 |  | Evildead
The Underworld
1990, USA-CA, straightforward
Guitarist Juan Garcia's best band? It sure ain't Agent Steel I can tell you that much. This album is just as good as the first. FFO: Atrophy, Forbidden, Sacred Reich, Nuclear Assault | | 9 |  | Opprobrium
Beyond The Unknown
1990, USA-LA, intense
Morrissound deathrash FFO: Demolition Hammer, Solstice, Num Skull | | 10 |  | Forced Entry
As Above, So Below
1991, USA-WA, proggy/groovy
If Cyclone Temple was actually good this is what they could have sounded like. FFO: Forbidden, Stone, Wrathchild America, Atrophy | | 11 |  | Black Fast
Starving Out the Light
2010, USA-MO, technical/progressive
Bite-sized classic Vektor style without any bloat and with a less plasticy overproduced sound. Shame they only got worse from here. | | 12 |  | Poison (DE)
Into the Abyss
1986, Germany, intense
Their demos might sound like absolute dogshit but this album is neat. FFO: Morbid, Protector, Merciless, Necrovore, Tormentor | | 13 |  | Necrodeath
Into the Macabre
1987, Italy, intense
I'm almost convinced these guys' 1985 demo must have circulated in the Brazilian scene. The similarities are too strong. FFO: Schizo, Sarcofago, Vulcano, Poison, Morbid etc. | | 14 |  | Hobbs' Angel of Death
Hobbs' Angel of Death
1988, Australia, straightforward
The name is silly, the cover art is silly, but the music is actually good?! FFO: Slayer, Razor, Dark Angel, Rigor Mortis etc. | | 15 |  | Sacrosanct
Recesses for the Depraved
1991, Netherlands, proggy
FFO: Despair, Deathrow, Assorted Heap, Paralysis | | 16 |  | Altered Moves Two

Escalation
1988, Germany, straightforward
FFO: Living Death, Exumer, Assassin | | 20 |  | Vectom
Rules Of Mystery
1986, Germany, straightforward
If you like Agent Steel you will like this, they are probably better. Also FFO: Living Death, Necronomicon, Violent Force, Exumer, Razor (early-mid 80s era) | | 21 |  | Parkcrest
...And That Blue Will Turn To Red
2019, Chile, straightforward
The first couple tracks got me hyped but overall I think this album is not super consistent. Still, I reckon many would be more into it than me. FFO: Hypnosia, Ripper, Critical Defiance, Rigor Mortis, Infernal Majesty | | 22 |  | The Krixhjalters
Evilution
1988, Sweden, crossover/?
Before Omnitron did their bizarro alt/prog/thrash business, they were a weird crossover band. Worth a try | | 23 |  | The Hirvi
Demo 1989
1989, Finland, technical
While Finland is mostly known for its weirdo death metal, this little cassette is a good example of weirdo Voivod-worshipping thrash. | | 24 |  | Sacrilege B.C.
Party with God
1986, USA-CA, crossover/straightforward
Bay Area band yet they have a bit of East Coast crossover, a bit of Texas crossover and even a bit of teutonic thrash (Exumer, early Kreator etc) in their sound. | | 25 |  | Why? (ITA)
Natura Morta Con Panneggio A Sinistra...
1991, Italy, proggy/techy/sporkcore
Italy's Thought Industry except a million times more obscure, also FFO DOOM (JPN) | | 26 |  | Exocosm
Spiral of Decay
2012, Finland, progressive/technical
Like a softer, better produced, more melodic Vektor.
FFO: Droid, Obliveon's From This Day Forward, Cynic, Atheist, Cryptic Shift, anything else like those

08.03.21 | What the hell is sporkcore | parksungjoon
08.03.21 | mr bungle | DePlazz
08.04.21 | Sporkcore is a genre title created in the late 00's/early 10's by the racist image board known as 4chan. Named as a reference to the "Katy t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m" copypasta being spread around at the time, the term was originally used as a derogatory term for artists and groups who see being purposefully random or unpredictable as being clever or humourous, frequently slamming as many styles or genres into one section as possible for no apparent reason, with ska, punk, and alternative metal being frequently in the roster. Sporkcore as a concept is also inherently tied to the "scene" subculture of the 2000's. It stuck for a while as a dead meme on 4chan until some asshole named "creakyboardz" on rym discovered the term in 2019, realized she loved both sporkcore as a term and the music being called it, and decided to "reclaim" the term by making a guide to sporkcore on rym that got mildly popular.
