so what are your views on this period of american underground music in the mid 80's? i think bands like the cro mags and suicidal tendencies were great but a lot of the hardcore bands such as agnostic front really sucked during this era.
the crossover period of thrash and hardcore

stampin' ground are an excellent thrash/hardcore crossover band, yes granted they're not from the 80's, but still...
I love the Cro-Mags and their brand of metal/hardcore. Anyone seen that We Gotta Know video by them? Their singer looks pretty 
if you know what I mean.

Actually, Agnostic Front's crossover stuff from Cause For Alarm was pretty good. But it wasn't very metallic, thy just added some double bass.
Liberty And Justice For All was also good.
Agnostc front now isn't that good, though.
The Crumbsuckers, Gang Green & Ludichrist were good crossover bands.

Man that is tough. I'm not big into hardcore, but I love late 80's thrash. So many bands were on the border. Suicidal Tendencies etc.

Fuck that, Venom's first album sounded more punk than metal. Bands like Amebix, Broken Bones, Discharge, and Antisect were playing punk with a lot of metal influences way before S.O.D. Maybe 1985 was when punk crept into metal, but punk bands were adding metal elements way before that.Thrashard said:

IMO "Animosity" set the standard for what would soon come to be called 'crossover', way back in 1985. An absolutely brilliant album (unless you're a guitar snob, you'll hate it then!)!!schindlers_fist said:
