Thrash!

Some more good ones from '93:

Lethal - Maza
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTk1Lmw3O2Q

Section Brain - Hospital of Death
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL1caGTpgsc

Spiralsea - Essence
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSCb5IbGNHU

Thanks. Listening to those next.

[EDIT] Yeah I liked all 3 of those. Butcher especially. Isn't Valkyria power/speed metal? Still good.

Another one:
Eldritch - Blood Breed Calls My Name (I'd call this speed metal but Metallum calls it thrash)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2KBKG0QoA0

Suiciety (Ger) - The Strategy of Hate
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQBe8fDvXwM

Ok, I'm satisfied. Thrash didn't completely crash in 1993. I'll save 1994 for tomorrow.

Antagonist's S/T EP, Butcher's Astral Karma, Sacrifice's Apocalypse Inside, and Valkyria's S/T are all good/great albums imo, and aside from the Sacrifice also fall roughly in the tech-thrash region. You may especially like Astral Karma since you like the neoclassical thing.

had like 3 copies of antagonist at one point(1 for me and 2 for tradebait), ended up selling them all
great riffs, but those vocals :mad:
total deal breakers for me..what a shame.
 
I wouldn't say I love the Antagonist vocalist, but I like how he's such a snarly and sorta typical thrash vocalist over such quality riffing, comes off like a tech-y Exodus or something. Black Sands of Time in particular is one of my all-time favorite thrash songs.

Also, regarding Valkyria, that was the only song from the album I could find on YouTube excluding their 1990 demo. Some songs are much thrashier, closest reference point being Mekong Delta. But yeah, there's a strong speed/power thing going for them too.

I've only heard their first and third. Both were excellent. I'm going to have to check that out!

Do you have any 1993 recs? I'm taking a shotgun approach at the moment.

apocalypse faithless- if you can get over the genericness, youll like it. contains some of the slickest production EVER for a thrash album(you need to download it at a high quality, the youtube version should be avoided). the first half is a bit weaker than the 2nd half, iirc. worth listening, just for the production alone.

anacrusis - screams and whisper(u prolly know this one already)


In.Si.Dia - Istinto e Rabbia(ditto apocalypse)

gladiator - made of pain - half great/half shit. still worthy of a listen


crionic different - if you like sepultura, youll like this quite a bit.
same label as hospital of death

sacrificial - forever entangled - i don't care for this album, but it might be up your alley.

there's a couple more interesting albums, but my memory is too shot to remember the names right now. i'll add them to the thread if i can ever remember.

edit: if you havent checked it out yet, go check out the thethrashmetalguide.com
even tho the author refuses to criticize anything, it's still one of the best sources on the net.
 
Forgot about that Crionic album. Even though I don't like 89-91 Sepultura very much and see the comparison all the time, for some reason I like that album quite a bit, and definitely more than Sep themselves.

EDIT: And I had no idea that Agony started as a d-beat/hardcore band. Not my area of expertise so I don't have any recs for similar crossover to that, but that's pretty cool considering how different it is from The Last Defiance (which I always thought was boring).

it's mainly with the vocalist
he sounds like a dead ringer for max :tickled:
the music is everywhere and isn't worshiping one band, which def makes things more interesting
 
That Crionic song was cool, and I had heard Gladiator before, it's decent.

Time for 1994. What you got?

So far it's pretty difficult. Faff-Bey went the same direction as Megadeth with more mid-paced thrash. I do recall liking this album, and I still do:

A Punto - Popular Poder (death/thrash)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6uHJIIjCiM

A lot of the stuff listed under thrash for 1994 isn't even thrash. Mortification = death metal, Chemical Breath's Values probably is too. A lot of mid-paced thrash which borders on heavy/trad/speed metal instead of thrash.

Man, even Demolition Hammer kind of sucked in 1994.
 
The second Chemical Breath, Skeptic Sense's Presence of Mind, and Rosicrucian's No Cause for Celebration for more tech-y thrashing.
 
1994 thrash....

^I liked it.

Rosicrucian is quality.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZIdEC5kdhY

Chemical Breath, love their stuff, but I'm not sure I'd call it thrash. More death than thrash I think, but there are influences. I liked Skeptic Sense too, more experimental, decent vocalist. That's one I'll have to sit and listen to. For now, the search continues.

Anxiety - Voices of Pain (eh, at least it's thrash and not some slow speed/trad metal, it's like most bands were trying to copy Countdown to Extinction in '94)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElOuoc-OGUg

Iceland - Iceland
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZtvV6E3M2E

Epidemic - Industrial (this one is actually cool)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2Ukz1DQ4qs
 
More '94:

Anonymus - Ni Vu, Ni Connu (A couple Metallica wannabe parts, but decent)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6swUcwkvOjQ

Tankard - Two Faced
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiiFVH6YesE

Antidote - Total (Nowhere near as good as The Truth, but there are some gems on this album)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XkzoENIsMM

Degradation - Revelation in Blood (full speed, full aggression thrash. refreshing to find this in 1994)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhCC6HHzJ7c

Definitely finding a higher percentage of crap in '94 compared to '93. '94 is probably the year it crashed. I'll keep this going though. 1995 thrash coming soon, tomorrow or the next day.
 
Based on what we found, top 5 thrash albums of 1994 imo:

Degradation - Revelation in Blood
Rosicrucian - No Cause for Celebration
Epidemic - Industrial
Skeptic Sense - Presence of Mind
Antidote - Total
 
Fear of God's "Toxic Voodoo" was the only thrash metal album I bought in 1994, but compared to their debut "Within The Veil", the music was far less original (sometimes leaning more towards death metal) - maybe also because vocalist Dawn Crosby was the only remaining member of the original line-up -, the vocals were less varied and the unique atmosphere of "WTV" was more or less completely gone. Possibly the best song on "Toxic Voodoo":

not bad at all
 
While most of the music on Youthanasia wouldn't be classified as thrash, it's still one of my favorite metal albums from the mid 90's. It's just so well written and executed.

None were pure thrash, but Low from Testament wasn't bad ... same can be said for Chaos AD, and Divine Intervention.

Man i still need to sit down for a good half-hour or so and go through the last 2 pages of this thread.
