[CiG]

What a garbage year for thrash, it’s comically bad

Yeah pretty dry year for thrash, but not a fan of Sodom's M-16 or Deceased's Behind the Mourner's Veil EP?

 

[no country for old wainds]

What a garbage year for thrash, it’s comically bad

Same applies for any year after 1994.

 

[Baroque]

I almost added Deceased, what the heck I'll add it since it's not at 10 yet. It's not their best work. Still have to relisten and rank these things. Not a fan of most Sodom, once in awhile it sounds ok

 

[CiG]

This is a killer year for death metal, but little else (maybe some grind).

I almost added Deceased, what the heck I'll add it since it's not at 10 yet. It's not their best work. Still have to relisten and rank these things. Not a fan of most Sodom, once in awhile it sounds ok

The Deceased EP probably would have made my top 20 if it had less covers and more OG tracks, but yeah it's still an absolute ripper.

People are sleeping on Funebrarum - Beneath the Columns of Abandoned Gods this year

 

[no country for old wainds]

it used to be very hyped around here back in the day. i always found them to have a cool sound but not much more than that. might revisit it for this though.

You dont even really listen to thrash man, so please stop showcasing your ignorance. Most good thrash from the last 20 years is better than most of the garbage black metal you wank it to.

edit: oh and btw you have a black/thrash album on your list too which makes your retarded statement even funnier
