This thread is dedicated to the 80's Thrash metal scene,primarily underdog groups.This thread isn't meant to decide who the greatest thrash group was or is. Just to talk about bands you are interested in,what albums you consider to be classics, and so forth.A very unnapreciated group with one of THE greatest thrash albums ever released is Dark Angel,"Darkness Descends" was an instant favorite when I heard the opening riff for the first song.One other group I really enjoy is from the late 80's,went by the name of Evildead,they were among the few that had originality in their music at the time,they weren't just another Thrash group.I have only heard their debut "Annihilation Of Civilization",but "Underworld" is also a classic from what i've heard.Viking,Sacred Reich, Whiplash,and Exciter also kick ass.

Warbringer are NOT Italian they are American and they sound like a cross between US thrash and German thrash and sound nothing like Bathory whatsoever.

But they don't play thrash, and this thread is about 80s thrash so stop bringing OFF-TOPIC bands into the discussion.

Not a comprehensive lsit for me, but faves would have to include:
Metallica - Master of Puppets (obvious choice)
Slayer - Reign in Blood (another obvious choice)
Exodus - Bonded by Blood
Kreator - Pleasure to Kill
Heathen - Victims of Deception
Annihilator - Alice in Hell
Sacred Reich - Ignorance
Sabbat - History of a Time to Come
Sadus - Illusions (later reissued as Chemical Exposure)

Also, for anyone interested, Anacrusis has made its back catalog available for free download via its webiste www.anacrusis.us. Also available is an outside project that some of the band members did recently called Cruel April, which was never released formally.

Holy Terror, Hallow's Eve, Blind Illusion, first couple of Sadus' but most of those aren't truly underground.
Atrophy? Wargasm? Aftermath? Hades?

Recently picked up Sadus' first album, Illusions (re-released under the name Chemical Exposure), and have to agree with this recommendation. The speed and the vocal style give it a proto-Death feel, but what really sets this one apart are the buzz-saw bass parts that play real tight with the guitar riffs. Truly worth checking out.

I saw Warbringer last night. I was really surprised. Their live show was awesome. They were a killer opener and made the headliner (Overkill) have to work for their money...Of course Overkill killed. Awesome show.

Lately I've been playing As Above, So Below by Forced Entry, which is sadly out of print. They're a thrash metal band from Seattle, but they have the bay area sound because, from my understanding, many musicians moved to and from the bay area to Seattle, and vice versa during the early nineties and late eighties. I guess there was some sort of "Pop Sound" label that fucked over a bunch of bands during that time, causing Forced Entry to break up after only two albums and one EP. I also heard that people thought they would be the next Metallica, but I'm pretty sure that's just speculation

Tony Benjamin, their bassist/vocalist, also played in Anthrax for a bit.

Another band thats got kind of forgotten about is some of the earlier works of Voivod. RRRoar,War and Pain, Killing Technology(my favorite) and Dimension Hatross are very good albums. A very jazzy thrash metal and takes some time getting used to. Killing Technology would be where I would start. That is a great album. Sepultura's Schizophrenia is also good. Hallow's Eve,Dead Horse,Cro-Mags "best Wishes",DRI "Crossover" are a few more.

I saw Forced Entry in Nashville open for Obituary and Sacred Reich. Was a very good show. Had a blast!!

I am in a generous mood, so I am helping you out...

Sindrome were a great thrash band that only released two demos which can be downloaded OFFICIALLY from their website here

Sacrilege BC Great California thrash band more info here

Yes he was talking about the Belgian Target and no they are nto bad they are GREAT, great technical thrash and can't be compared ot Annihilator at all for it is totally different thrash.


Channel Zero are also a Belgian thrash band that sound a bit like Pantera more info here

There was a band called Sacrilege (not to be confused with Sacrilege BC) that released 3 albums in the 80's. The first two, 'Behind the Realms of Madness' (1985) and 'Within the Prophecy' (1987) were great Thrash Metal offerings with hardcore/punk elements (relative to that time period) and both were reissued as one 2-album set in the mid/late 1990's. Well worth checking out. They were a British band, and had a female vocalist who sort of spoke/shouted, sounding kind of aggressive but in a feminine way, if that makes any sense..

Their third and final album was 'Turn Back Trilobite' in 1989, and apparently that was more Doom Metal orientated, but unfortunately I haven't heard that one.
