The Best Thrash Metal Album
|
When Death Comes is the new Artillery album, after a decade of waiting. And well, this is a good album of very melodic thrash metal, full of catchy riffs and choruses. Mixing both an old-school feeling with a modern production, it's maybe not the most aggressive thrash release around, but as long as the songs are great, it's all that matters!

| Well hello there, good-looking. What's your sign? Extremely violent thrash? Ooh, I like that game. Who's your friend? Depression Tank? Nice name. I can be a steamroller too, if you catch my drift. So what's your poison? Never heard of a thrash till dead head cocktail before. Listen, me and my friends are thrashing a huge party later tonight, such a beauty like you just cannot be missing. Wanna come too? Only if I vote for you? What the effing hell does that mean? |

| Fans of the Irish thrashers Gama Bomb didn't have long to wait between albums with Tales From The Grave In Space hitting their ears only a year after their previous Citizen Brain release. A year was all that was needed too because Gama Bomb are still pumping out hard-hitting thrashy riffs with well varied vocals all at a fast pace. Tales From The Grave In Space was posted online free for all to hear as well (http://www.earache.com/gamabomb/) so there's no excuse not to thrash out this year to the 'Bomb! |

| Mustaine and company are back with a thrash throwback to their early years in a record rife with with high speed tracks, Dave's political and personal lyrics as well as venomous vocals. And solos. Lots of solos. The tracks "44 minutes" and "1,320" might appear to be about a bank heist and drag racing, respectively, but also sum up the blazing fretwork - this album is approximately 44 minutes long and has about 1,320 solos. Time to get yer shred on! |

| Melodic Thrashers Profane Omen have been in the game for a solid decade now and have delivered quite a few EP's and demo's already. One would say that that would've brought them a good amount of experience and maturity in song writing, and the one who would say that would be absolutely right. Inherit The Void is filled to the top with catchy grooves, neck-breaker-riffs and growls that'll send the boogeyman right back in your closet. |

| The Ones I Condemn marks Sacrifice's return to the scene after many years of absence. Though, this Canadian outfit still got it. Like the day it was yesterday, Sacrifice are still thrashing with a will. Nothing rusty to find here; only furious thrash. Headbangers beware, start stretching those neck muscles. |

| This is one impressive debut right here. This young band is among the frontrunners of the new wave of thrash metal. Savage Messiah's mission is fairly simple: tear the place up with catchy, high voltage thrash. Bring it! Definitely a band we haven't heard the last from. |

Short, ripping fast tracks? Check. Slower, creepy tracks devoted to the inner workings of serial killers? Check. Dave Lombardo abusing his kit? Check. An abundance of chaotic guitar solos that defy (and defile) musical theory? Check. Slayer are back. With balls of steel.

| In 2007, these Greek thrashers took the world by storm with their debut Eternal Domination. The band's sophomore release is more of the same old school flavored, razor-sharp thrash. Solid thrash to the core, enough said. Because seriously, what more could you possibly want? |
|
|
| After the hype generated with the band's first album, "Waking Into Nightmare" has once again surpassed all expectations and blows the band's first effort out of the water. Prepare for an album of pure, unadulterated thrash metal that is guaranteed to keep your head on the move. The band have grown as musicians and this album goes out as a clear message that Warbringer are a name to keep an eye on. |
