Metal 2013

The new Metal Church is great. Kinda like Overkill's The Electric Age in that it's surprisingly consistent in its old-school speed metal aggression, but the difference being that the songs are actually good.

I need to get around to listening to that. I liked the single that came out before the release.
 
New Onslaught kills them all and takes 'thrash album of the year' hands down, for me.

I was just talking about Oct 29th albums, but ok. The new Onslaught is good but I wouldn't put it ahead of:

Fueled by Fire - Trapped in Perdition
Hatchet - Dawn of the End
Havok - Unnatural Selection
Black Fast - Starving Out the Light
Power Trip - Manifest Decimation
or the new Skeletonwitch honestly.

Oh right, sorry, I had no idea they all came out on the same day.

And ouch. If that's the case then I guess we'll just agree to disagree.
 
My thrash album of the year ...
EXECUTION-Blasphemy-and-Perversion.jpg

... and i just dont see it getting topped.
 
Not sure I could choose just one. So many good thrash albums this year. Violator, Fueled by Fire, Black Fast are probably my top 3. If I have to choose.. maybe:

1) Fueled by Fire
2) Violator
3) Black Fast
4) Hatchet

Just read that the No Escape-era Hexx line-up has reunited and recorded a recent demo. Considering the quality of some recent three-decades-gone reunions, I'm looking forward to this. :kickass:
 
Hey guys, I've been completely out of the loop since RIITIIR and Incurso, has anything really good happened? I'm up for anything, but mostly black and death. I like crossovers with thrash too, I see that Skeltonwitch and Toxic Holocaust (are releasing, my bad)* albums, I'll be sure to check them out. But anything else I should know about?

Check out the new Autopsy, Deeds of Flesh, Defeated Sanity and Suffocation albums. New Carcass is pretty good too. Also check out Perversions and Blasphemy by Execution, it's thrash but you might dig it.

Oh, and Colored Sands which is my AOTY by far.

*Forgot about Vorum...
