One of the more unknown Thrash bands, who definatly deserve a mention among the classics! They are legendary in my eyes, for their only full-length album: Spectrum Of Death. That was a piece of very aggressive and extreme Thrash metal which should be mentioned in one breath among the well-known classics. But they are not. I still don't have a clue why.
I really hope this thread will get some replies, cause I know a fair amount of people like them on this forum. So post away and discuss Morbid Saint!

08.08.2007 - 13:01 Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 08.08.2007 at 08:30 Really that expensive? Then it must be the album in my collection that is worth most. I thought that'd be Lurker Of Chalice or Alcest.

Written by Lucas on 08.08.2007 at 13:37 Jeez, that's weird. Okay it is decent but not brilliant or ultra rare. Okay back on topic Morbid Saint are a good band with one good (not great or classic IMO cause for the era it was recorded in it was quite generic) release but 75$ it isn't worth cause as Destruction System shows that release would already have been a step down from Spectrum Of Death

08.08.2007 - 13:54 Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 08.08.2007 at 13:46 Well, I do think it is a great release and a classic. But of course, lots of that 75$ tag is caused by cult and fame and the limitation of the release of course.

Account deleted Written by Lucas on 08.08.2007 at 13:54 I'd certainly rate it as a classic. It's got a rare, very genuine raw and aggressive feeling that just doesn't come across on that many albums, at least not for me. Although I'm glad it's underrated and not so well known, compared to certain other thrash bands of that era who are overrated and really arn't that great.

09.08.2007 - 17:31 Written by Guest on 09.08.2007 at 14:14 A bit off-topicness... so which bands of that era (so around 1988) would you call overrated> I am just curious.

I would also consider it a classic. About The Big Four and their fame, you need to keep in mind they had several albums out already so would almost be bound to have more exposure. Also probably something to do with the labels... *adds to favourite threads*

Hell no!! I already own the re-release with the EP, and am perfectly fine with that. Can't believe they also limited the re-release though.. By the way, I don't think I'd ever send 60$ to an e-bayer that has no score just yet. Could just as well be a rip-off.

Account deleted Written by Guest on 04.11.2007 at 00:33 i read this everywhere and I can't agree at all. even back in the days when possessed and slaughter started this new thing called "death metal" they sounded different then most of the thrash metal bands from that time. morbid saint doesn't have any death metal influences. the riffs, the basslines and the drumming, everything is thrash metal here, especially the vocals. they remind me on num skull, also a lost and forgotten thrash-classic from the 80's.

Don't agree with you here. To me they are just very fast, aggresive and rough produced Thrash.
