Need more stuff like Rust in Peace, Alice in Hell, or Never Neverland

Have you heard that Death Angel? If not, you interested in a track?

This is a little off topic, but are you a fan of Metal Church's Blessing in Disguise? It doesn't really fit the bill here, but at any rate, it has clean vocals and lots of melody. I listen to it more than either of their first two.

Edit: Agreed, the Heathen seems like a sure bet.
 
I've been sucking Ulysses Siren's cocks for about three years now and they're pretty much the greatest thrash band nobody's ever heard of. Get Above the Ashes, like, YESTERDAY.

Definitely Heathen, very similar stuff. Also check out Imagika, relatively recent SF power/thrashers, kind of an early Iced Earth-meets-Grave Digger feel. And Agent Steel, please tell me you listen to Agent Steel.
 
Imagika and Agent Steel kick large amounts of ass.

Ulysses Siren is actually a bit new for me, can't remember exactly how I got into them, someone suggested them a while ago but I never went through the with suggestion till a bit ago... And I regretted not jumping right on this shit right away.
 
Ulysses Siren is good, noting amazing, to be honest. The second demo is much better than the first. I think they could've put out a great full-length.
 
I've never heard 'Insanity', but I do suspect it'll end up being pretty unnecessary, having exhausted this realm now for the most part.

After posting that, I realized that while I&G is the thrashiest Gamma Ray album, it's not the thrashiest Kai Hansen album. That would be Helloween's 'Walls of Jericho', which fits your criteria pretty darn well, I think.

Especially after checking that Ulysses Siren (which, yeah, is quite good!) Somehow it really reminded me of 'Walls of Jericho', with WoJ trading a little technicality for some more melody.

I'm checking out the Heathen now. Never listened to them before, but I've heard plenty about them from smart people, and figured that they *would* be one of those rare "thrash" bands that I like. Unfortunately, no, they sound much closer to the Forbidden style, which I don't like at all. The riffing/licks aren't terribly melodic, and then the vocals are mostly a bunch of shouting. They're just too deliberate.

I'd like to explore Rage further. I have "Trapped!" but I find it to be a really exhausting listen. I can't find anything that hooks me into a particular song or chorus line.

Damn, and here I thought we were bonding. Well, fuck you!!!!

But seriously, are you sure you have "Trapped!", by Rage? The German band? Because that's the exact opposite of what I say about that album! The first seven tracks are possibly the seven most hooky tracks to lead off any album in the history of albums! Every one of them could be the leadoff track. The only thing that keeps it from being the best Rage album is that it tails off a bit after that. Of course, I do think that Rage is the best band in the history of all bands, so I don't quite expect you to love that album as much as me, but it's gotta be better than you think it is right now!

Yeah, well obviously the Gothenburg scene tapped into it the style, but the death vocals tip the scales. There seems to be a void here, otherwise I'd have shelves stacked with Annihilators and Megadeths.

Agreed. I guess I already posted my theory here on why that is, right? (hmm...would 'Gallows Gallery' fit here in a really bizarre way?)

I thought of branching out from Arch Enemy, but instead of going backwards through one Amott to Caracass, what about forwards with the other Amott to Armageddon? Especially since my brother always compared the brilliant 'Crossing the Rubicon' to Megadeth. Unfortunately, the clean-vocaled albums, while good, are a bit too prog-metal-sounding.

Hey Doomsphincter, what was that band with the green cover liek Thunderforce III but with a sword on it, Doomsword?

JayK would like them.

Other than that, fuckin' A just keep listening to Heartwork. 13 years and counting, it still gives rise to my mizenmast.
 
god fucking dammit, you had their album as an avatar for awhile, sent me their shit and I liked but didn't love it.

Long stonerish songs with WICKED guitar solos.

The album cover was green like a rosegarden, but with a big god damn shitcunting sword in the center.

FUCK! ASS!

EDIT: shit yo're right, not Doomsword. WTF was their name??!!??
