Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the quintessential thrash album. If you thought that Kill 'em All was relentless, then you obviously haven't heard this adrenaline-pumping masterpiece yet. Not even the pure speed and intensity of Reign in Blood can touch the fury of Vio-lence's 1988 debut album Eternal Nightmare. Led by present Machine Head guitarists Robb Flynn and Phil Demmel, along with the unique vocal contributions of Sean Killian, Eternal Nightmare is an album that will live on in thrash circles forever.

Rating: 10 Awesome stuff, one of the essential Bay Area classics

  Too bad about Machine Head lol... Violence was great still have the demo even ....
elekctric - 18.02.2010 at 17:37  
  Thanks btw now i gotta go get the two disc set

  Meh, I wasn't impressed by "Eternal Nightmare" at all! After hearing so much about it, I only felt great disappointment when I finally heard it. It's definitely not in the same league as other underrated thrash gems like "Forbidden Evil", "Pleasures Of The Flesh" or "Time Does Not Heal".

I just don't see what all the fuss is about. I found it incredibly generic thrash.

Rating: 8 This is one of the most underrated essential thrash albums. One of my favorites to say the least. I will say though that it is overly hyped by the underground fans. I can kind of see what Angelic Storm is saying but still, the riffs on this album just make you want to bang your head right off your neck.

..the riffs... the riffs..
Dangerboner - 03.05.2011 at 12:23  
Rating: 10 The best thing to do while listening to this album (other than drinking a beer or 4) is read along with the lyrics. Probably the only band other than King Diamond where I do this

  One of my favorite thrash albums. Riff after riff after riff of thrashing perfection. I also quite like the vocals, which seem to turn many off. Obligatory mention of how this shits over Machine Head.
R'Vannith - 04.05.2011 at 08:12  
Rating: 9 I have to admit I couldn't stand this album at first because of those vocals, but they eventually grew on me. Can't say I 'like' them though, I've heard much better.

  Honestly, I'll take Machine Head over this any day.

I absolutely would too. The first two MH albums, and the first Forbidden album (while Robb didn't perform on this one, 3 songs which he co-wrote are on it) are far, far, superior albums to this one.

Rating: 5 The ultimate example of hideous, atrocious vocals ruining otherwise decent-ish music.

I'm glad to know I'm not alone here in the opinion that I'd much rather listen to MH than this album. lol

Agreed about the vocals: they are atrocious. But I don't think the music is any good either.

Rating: 9 This album kicks ass. The vocals aren't that bad, but I don't think they're really that good either.
