I want to discuss German thrash trio. Which Sodom, Destruction, Kreator albums do you all like best? I think when it comes to Kreator Pleasure to Kill is their finest, but I don't know why people think Extreme Aggression is so good. I admit only heard a few songs from the other 2 bands but I prefer Sodom over Destruction.

 

[skeptik]

Sodom is the best of the bunch. In The Sign Of Evil is one of the best things to ever come out of Germany. Basically, the earlier the recording, the better is the general rule of thumb for German Thrash as far as I'm concerned.

 

[LieToPurify]

Pantera- cowboys from hell
pantera- vulgar display of power

Thrash?

 

[~L~]

Sodom - Persecution Mania
Tankard - All of it, fuckers. Underrated music, this.
Kreator - Pleasure to Kill

 

[Killbot]

Endless Pain is my favourite Kreator album.

Don't hurt me.

 

[skeptik]

Endless Pain is my favourite Kreator album.

Don't hurt me.

My favorite fluctuates between Endless Pain and Pleasure To Kill regarding full-lengths, but honestly I think their strongest material overall is the Flag Of Hate EP.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

My favorite fluctuates between Endless Pain and Pleasure To Kill regarding full-lengths

+1

Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Slayer - Show no Mercy
King Diamond - Abigail, Them
