The matches are only getting easier, especially as garbage like Sodom and Sepultura continue to survive.

Sodom never got anywhere close to Darkness Descends. Lately I wouldn't even take any of their individual albums over Leave Scars, except for maybe M-16.

love very early sodom way more than dark angel but i prefer dark angel's pure thrash stuff to sodom's. the other tricky one for me was overkill vs. razor, could've gone either way there.

i prefer dark angel's pure thrash stuff

umm i think you meant to say straightforward thrash? They've always been a "pure" thrash metal band ... regardless of how techy or progressive they got later on.
