Nice, yeah I saw them live back when they were still in Phoenix too. But that was post-Black Future. That demo is probably worth something now.
I've thought about that. I still have it.
For Evile I'd say start with the Enter the Grave album. There's a possibility you might like it if you dig Hatchet and Warbringer.
Exmortus is one of my current favorite bands. Most people would say to start with In Hatred's Flame, but I like Slave to the Sword or Ride Forth a bit better. Really you can't go wrong with any of their albums imo.
Aspid - Extravasation if you haven't yet. One of the best tech thrash albums.
Lazarus A.D. (since you mentioned groove), Ripper, Deathraiser, Hexen, Fueled by Fire
Extravasation is great, but hard to find other than OMGEVILDOWNLOADER copies or absurdly priced variants. Just like Invocator - Weave the Apocalypse.I'd love for someone to just gift me those 2 albums.
I love Lazarus - A.D.'s The Onslaught. It's also on my Run playlist. Unfortunately the album after that was a significant downgrade iirc. Fueled by Fire is alright but that's it if I'm thinking of the right band. Hexen was also a little meh. Can't remember if I checked out Ripper/Deathraiser or not. Edit: I like Power Trip, Toxic Holocaust, Nucleator, Sylosis, and Eliminator also btw.
I saw Death Angel live in Phoenix as well and even shook hands with them in the restaurant next to the venue at the time.Great live and on the albums. This was after Killing Season but right before Relentless Retribution dropped. Cool bunch of guys.
