I'm not sure if the puritans accept this as full on thrash metal, but it's fast, furious and fun.

Yep, memory is worrying thing as we get older, the scratches get deeper, lol.
Sacred Reich's debut Ignorance was awesome along with Forbiddens Forbidden Evil. Incubus' Serpents Temptation kicked heaps of ass too, steer clear of the re-recording though!
I always got alot of love for Holy Moses (particularly Finished with the Dogs) and the early Tankard records...

DEATH ANGEL is a given for thrash

 

[kittybeast]

now I've nicked Wyverns list I need to check out Angel Dust I almost picked something from then last year but opted for another cd.

Zeotrope definately. Never hear enough folks who liked that band.

 

[rokk]

How about Gothic Slam? I've been trying to get their debut for a long time now.

Look on Ebay.. i seen it there once in awhile.... I saw the band live a few times back in the day here in NY at Sundance, Bayshore... they went to a house party or two of a ex best friend of mine back then also... so met them...

 

[Jordan]

Are Exodus better than Testament?

 

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

Are Exodus better than Testament?

it's a matter of opinion and personal taste... to me Exodus was always the more Heavier/Violent band of the two... Testament at least when Alex Skolnick was in the band was the more technical... Practice what you Preach is still one of my fave albums... but have to give kudos to Exodus for Bonded by Blood, Fabulous Disaster and Temp of the Damned...

 

[Wyvern]

now I've nicked Wyverns list I need to check out Angel Dust I almost picked something from then last year but opted for another cd.

Careful sweetheart. The first two Angel Dust albums are thrash "Into The Dark Past" (1986) and "To Dust You Will Decay" (1988). Both are very difficult to find and basically OOP.

Now from 1998-2002 the band played basically the most astounding prog power metal money can buy. If a band should have been at PPUSA it would have to be them, sadly semi-disbanded and on hold right now

I'm sure Bryant will back up me

I have to add Nasty Savage to the list

NP: Nasty Savage - 'Dungeon Of Pleasure'
