There are a lot of bands I've been meaning to check out, like Sabbat (UK), Sacrifice, and Holy Terror, but their CDs are hard as hell to find.

Sabbat (UK) is really easy to find nowadays because History Of A Time To Come and Dreamweaver have just been remastered and rereleased with bonus tracks. Btw Andy Sneap's guitar work is ace on those two albums.
Toxik - World Circus and Think This have also just been remastered and rereleased with bonus tracks.
Holy Terror - El Revengo is quite easy to get hold of, check otu my review of it here http://www.metalstorm.ee/pub/review.php?review_id=3424
Sacrifice is a bitch to fin as original cd or vinyl nowadays, I am still looking for those (only have them as original cassette)

Can someone recommend me which Hirax album I seriously should get?

Can someone recommend me which Hirax album I seriously should get?

I find the following the best:
Raging Violence
Hate, Fear And Power

so their first two albums.

They have been re-released together on one cd.
Hate, Fear and Power is considered a full-length but is only about 15 minutes long.
And Raging Violence is only about 30 minutes long

80s thrash is very close to me! Mainly Bay-Area thrash:

Exodus - Bonded by Blood
Metallica - Kill 'em All
Testament - The Legacy
S.O.D. - Speak English or Die (or my all time favorit:)
Slayer - Reign in Blood

But there were so many good bands: Overkill, Realm, Artillery, Kreator, Destruction, Mekong Delta, Coroner
And there was a band called Paradox. Anybody heard about them? It's a german power/thash band, their second album (Heresy) was a concept album about the crusades. Very solid!

As far as Coroner go I recommend albums 'Grin' and 'No More Color' superb albums.

Then you should check it! It's totally classic! Thrash with punk/hardcore influences, and very humorous lyrics.

k7, some of their more well known songs are "Speak English or Die", "Kill Yourself", "Sargent D", "The Ballad of Jimi Hendrix"...

So euhm, Hirax rules!!
I've been listening to "Raging Violence", "Hate, Fear And Power", "The New Age Of Terror" and "Assassins Of War" all day, and I instantly loved this band. Highly recommended!

Plus I read they'll be touring again. A European tour is expected in autumn. Count me in, I'll be there for sure.

Sorry but I havnt hear that band
It still prooves some bands are unknow for me

About 80ties thrash and metal IMO those who live in those days how you, dismaeleuphony, Marcel, hellish Star, Richard thay had more expearience and thay can tell more about bands no metters famouse, one demo or album bands

ok here is mine favorite albums from 80's thrash



1st Possessed - Seven Churches
2nd Dark Angel - Darkness Descends
3rd Morbid Saint - Spectrum Of Death
4th Kreator - Pleasure To Kill
5th Slayer Reign In Blood
6th Annihilator - Alice In Hell
7th Crimson Glory - Crimson Glory
8th Metallica - Master Of Puppets
9th Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?
10th Razor - Executioner's Song


S.O.D. would be the 11 on this list

*Shamelessly copys orathac *

My faves are (currently) as follows:

1. Artillery - By Inheritance
2. Heathen - Victims of Deception
3. Megadeth - Rust in Peace
4. Testament - The New Order
5. Annihilator - Alice In Hell
6. Exodus - Bonded By Blood
7. Toxik - Think This
8. Exhorder - Slaughter in the Vatican
9. Artillery - Terror Squad
10. Coroner - No More Color

The things trailing behind this would be Metallica - RTL, Toxik - Think This, Laaz Rockit - Know Your Enemy, Slayer - RiB, Vio-Lence - Eternal Nightmare... etc

...As I read this no1 seems to remember bands such as Sadus? perhaps they are more death to be considered thrash? but hey its funny to see only 4 votes to classic albums among extreme thrasher such as Illusions Chemical Exposure a perfect 10 album in my opinion.

...for extreme thrash fans check this band out from Chile "Criminal" see video below:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q6I2VGOAttw

this is really a band to be respected among thrashers.

Anthrax - Spreading The Desease
Exodus - Bounded By Blood
Slayer - Show No Mercy
Annihilator - Alice In Hell
Annihilator - Never Neverland
Testament - The New Order
Megadeth - Killing Is My Business
Metallica - Kill'em All

and once again, there's no doubt about the influence by metallica to the other thrash metal bands nowadays, u must recognize they were one of the best by that time, specially with the K'eA album, wich shows an amazing job, puere thrarsh; and also good so far, not as great as they used to be, but still good;
and what about blind guardian, a good thrash too, altough there's a discussion if they're power metal or something like that, but they have some thrash and they're good at it; another good thrash and classical bands, slayer, even though it's not exactly one of my fave band, i gotta say they good, and sometimes great ; and last but not least, megadeth, it's indisputable what this band has also contribute to this genre; * there must be a lot of thrash bands out there but i dont know all of them, i hope to know other bands as good as metallica ( )or better than them so i can add another one to my fave list

btw, why some fans keep comparin' megadeth with metallica? i mean mustaine made a great contributions to metallica, but man, just give it up, for those whom says dave was the 'man', metallica proved they could make masterpieces without him; both bands have their own style, they both make music, so just choose wich one u like and listenin' to it; i personally dont like dave's style too much, but it doesnt mean i hate him or his band or his music, i just dont enjoy listenin' to it, that's damn it
...but maybe this stuff aint gonna stop because all the story they had ..:devil:

My favorite's list would consist of a little of all of the albums you guys mentioned, great choices.

A few days ago I heard Soul Collecter By Destruction On DeanGuitars.com and loved it But I don't Know where to start with guys or if i should even take them seriously with albums called "Mad Butcher". I Need some suggestions.

Check out Infernal Overkill; it's by far their best! I would even consider it a classic...

It was rereleased with the Sentence of Death EP, I believe, so I'd say buy that.

I need to get some Destruction, I have only heard a track off of "Release From Agony". I think I am going to order "Infernal Overkill" tomorrow, as well as Massacra's "Final Holocaust".

it is totally worth its 19.99 euro price tag with all the pics included and the liner notes and the band being frank on the heavy slayer influences on Ignorance.
But why I already got it is because of the Live show dvd of the Dynamo Open Air set in 1989 which I attended. I am not sure but I think I finally could make myself out in the crowd.

anyone with an inkling of thrash in their blood should buy this release.

Don't think so, since that is what it says on the slipcase. The slipcase contains two jewelcases one with the 2 audio cds and one with the dvd. Btw Metal Blade released it.

Overkill and Destruction were also very kickass, but I wasn't much into them during the time I posted the post above
