Currently on sale in MP3 format at Amazon for $6. So is Coroner - Mental Vortex btw.
I've never seen Eliminator for sale in disc form, and any Coroner is expensive as hell.

I seem to remember some distro having that eliminator album for ten bucks a while back and thumbing past it because I'm not big on thrash.

I know a czech distro carrying Breaking the Wheel on vinyl, but the shipping would probably ruin it for you.

Yeah euro shipping to the states is either expensive and/or takes forever + I do not currently mess with vinyl. Eliminator is solid new thrash and Coroner needs no introduction.

That Fueled by Fire album is cool. It only has one speed though. 
The new Onslaught album has been kicking my ass. One of this year's top thrash albums.

It's true, that's one thing some bands understand better than others. Slow moments make the fast moments more effective.
There's a ton of bands that only have 1 speed: Overkill, Forbidden, Hatchet...
I can only listen to so much of them.

I really like Overkill but their last couple of albums have had songs that are too damn long. Thrash songs shouldn't be longer than 3:30 to 4:00 minutes long. Anything exceeding 5 or 6 minutes becomes monotonous and boring. Exodus is also guilty of this on their last couple of albums.

Fueled By Fire actually took their foot of the pedal quite a bit on their new album .... much slower and less aggresive than Plunging Into Darkness.

Ironbound actually did the longer songs very well imo, although with The Electric Age they managed to make 4 minute songs feel overlong. I definitely wouldn't set a hard limit like that (see: Deliver Us to Evil, At Dawn They Sleep, Morbid Saint's Assassin, etc).
EDIT: And Horrorscope definitely isn't a "one-speed" thrash album. It all basically still fits into the standard thrash category, of course (with a few more traditional and even groove oriented exceptions) but there's a very nice range of songs there.

Check out their last two, Plunging Into Darkness is my favorite .... just make sure to stay away from their first album.

End Times - OMG, awesome crossover/thrash

Hope these guys put out a physical copy, I'm not buying fucking mp3s.

Between this and that Power Trip album, I feel like "crossover" today is just another way of saying "thrash with more hardcore vocals and mid-tempo sections" because neither sound much like the 80's stuff I think of when I hear "crossover". And that's not to be an anti-new thrash elitist, because both also kick the ass of any DRI I've listened to. I just don't get how they're supposed to be any more "crossover" than Exodus or Sacred Reich.

Yeah, you have a fair point - I just feel the punk vibe and throw out the label - maybe not 100% accurately, but I dig the album regardless.
New Toxic Holocaust is meant to be really good - i'll check that out.
