ITT: We post late 80's thrash/speed bands Eric probably hasn't heard...

[EricT]

I've been on a late 80's thrash/speed kick lately... craving some more shit I haven't heard yet. Don't state the obvious.

 

[Mephistophiliac]

Num Skull?

 

[Cat5Messiah]

Slayer?

Lawl. I don't listen to much Thrash/Speed metal. All that I listen to you're probably already familiar with (Slayer, Metal Church, Testament etc.).

 

[Psychonaut]

Agent Steel

 

[Nikki]

I'm probably the wrong person to ask, but I did you a favor and found some stuff you may or may not like.

I'll have to check out an album. Liked the track I listened to on Myspace.

That "Vulture" vid was pretty cool. Aura Noir is a definitive band to me, so yeah... And I have the Vesen full length and one of the demo's... decent death/black/thrash stuff they do. As for that Detente, that didn't catch me at all. BUT... I think I have one of their albums or a compilation with something from them (like, more than a few tracks) laying around somewhere. I'll have to give it a relisten.

KEEP EM COMING!

I live for thrash and I haven't heard of this... what is it? And where the hell can I get it. And by the way, Blind Illusion kicks ass, I have that album on vinyl.

 

[EricT]

Yeah, Blind Illusion was amazing. Love just turning my subwoofer all the way up and hearing the insane bass parts that Les put into some of that shit. Really hard to hear in the mix sometimes, but it's there.

There are a couple on that list I need to take a look at... adding them to my list.

the rest of their albums are pretty good but Idolatry is an amazingly heavy great album. check out some songs on their myspace, i think it just got re-released or something and they're on tour so it shouldn't be hard to find

I can't believe I forgot Evildead.

Surprised no one mentioned Demolition Hammer yet.

 

[Shapeless)))]

I approve of Stone despite the cringeworthy vocalstyle. The music however fucking rocks.

Stone Cold Soul

edit:
This song is on their 1990's album Colours, but whatever.

[EricT]

With the exception of Grim Reaper, those are some good examples of what not to post! Loudness and Keel are 2 reasons I tend to force myself to forget metal even existed in the 80's...

And none of the 3 are thrash or speed, dammit!

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Try Blind Guardian!!!

 

[EricT]

OMG WHERE WOULD I START WITH BLIND GUARDIAN? I HEARD THEY SING ABOUT HOBBITS I WANT AN ALBUM WITH HOBBITS!

 

[Calamitas1786]

LOCK AND LOLL CLAZY NIGHTS!! YOU AH DA HELO!!

 

[Enemy242]

I can't believe I forgot Evildead.

I would've but pretty much everyone knows Demolition Hammer and along with Exhorder and Epidemic they were more heavy and kinda groovy thrash, not what i would put in a thread for someone asking for speed/thrash. i do love the above mentioned bands very much so though.
