I like MC with both Wayne and Howe. I agree, BID should be remastered, teh production really doesn't sound very good. I think the first two "sound" better then it actually.

I seen that movie with Powermad. They did 'Slaughterhouse' in it, didn't they? To bad those guys didn't countinue on, they were really good. Never have been able to find the debut EP anywhere.

I like wayne era too. They were good with both line-ups.

As far as the early Powermad.... it sounds like it was recorded in a garage. It's really not that good. I think it has four or five songs on it. I have it somewhere, but trust me.... Absolute Power is the only one that matters.

flotsam and jetsam - quatro
flotsam and jetsam - high
vio-lence - eternal nightmare
overkill - the years of decay


most of my favorite albums are made by the big four

 

[Toad Lord]

Thrash is my least favourite Metal genre so far, but I still listen to lots of stuff from the 80s...
well, I feel tempted to say that Anthrax's "Among The Living" is the best Thrash album ever made (and the only Anthrax album I actually enjoy), but as it has to be outside the big 4, I have to vote for PENTAGRAM (Chilean band, not the Turkish or American with the same name)... their self-title album was rather groundbreaking back in the years.

 

[Platinum Maze]

Vendetta - Go and Live...Stay and Die
Vendetta - Brain Damage
^^^ two of my favorite thrash albums ever^^^
Testament - The Legacy
Heathen - Breaking the Silence
Flotsam & Jetsam - Doomsday for the Deceiver
Flotsam & Jetsam - No Place For Disgrace
Death Angel - The Ultra-Violence
Overkill - Taking Over
Overkill - Feel the Fire
Metal Church - s/t
Forbidden - Forbidden Evil
Sacred Reich - Ignorance
Exodus - Bonded by Blood
Sacrifice - Forward to Termination
Cities - Annihilation Absolute

 

[OfManAndMetal]

would testament fall under thrash? i always thought it was metal, not thrash metal?

 

[HateCrew666]

The big 4?

If thats the bands that i think

then it would have to be

1)Testament
2)Exodus
3)Annihilator
4)Venom

 

[Wyrd1]

would testament fall under thrash? i always thought it was metal, not thrash metal?

Yeah Testament are very much Thrash, maybe with the exception of The Ritual. Certainly The Legacy is thrash and for me one of the best thrash albums of all time.

 

[Höðr]

Destruction
Kreator
Dark Angel
Testament
Nuclear Assault
Annihilator
Overkill

 

[Wyvern]

What the hell, I forgot about the entire South American scene...

Darkness - Death Squad
Darkness - Defenders Of Justice
Deathrow - Raging Steel
Exodus - Bonded By Blood
Possessed - Seven Churches

Sepultura - Schizophrenia
Sepultura - Beneath The Remains
Again, a shitload more...

Except for Sepultura I will not call the rest South American

I have to check those Darkness releases, I enjoyed the third album albeit I acknowledge the fact that was a change from it's predecessors.

NP: Beyond Fear - 'Telling Lies'

 

[Priest of Evil]

Hallows Eve - Tales Of Terror - I wasnt impressed with that album beyond the track plunging into megadeath.
Maybe i missed something?
