Time for 1999.

Sodom - Code Red


Hypnosia - Violent Intensity


Denied Existence - The Futures Past (prog thrash)


Cronic Disorder - Dead To The World (thrash/death)

Sion - Reflexiones (has some prog thrash moments..)

Yeah that was one of my favorites of that year.

When this is all done I plan on going back and listening to the 'best' albums more in depth, and maybe I'll write a Top 5 of every year type post. I'd also like to add some commentary about the 'graph' of thrash quality. It's interesting so far, seems to be like a sine wave after 1993, where odd years are the high points and even years are the low points. We'll see if that trend continues.

I'll probably keep this going until 2008 or 2009ish. Whenever the NWOTM really kicks in. At that point there will be too many albums to list. It would be nice to get kind of a year when NWOTM begins, similar to how 1993 is sort of the year when the majority of the first wave ended.

Anyone have something to add for 1998 or 1999?
 
Ok added those, people can always add more stuff later. Going to focus on 2000 now.

Abstract - Conrete Visions


Hypnosia - Extreme Hatred


Audiopain - 1986


Nocturnal Breed - The Tools of the Trade


Hirax - The New Age of Terror

^good stuff. I looked for their 2000 album and youtube didn't have it. Actually youtube doesn't have the majority of albums I'm looking for from 2000.

I found one more though, with Shawn Drover (ex-Megadeth)

Eidolon - Nightmare World


The vocals in this one remind me of Megadeth - Of Mice and Men
Tourniquet - Microscopic View

2000 has been full of dead ends, and bands labeled thrash that are not actually thrash.

Moving on to 2001. A lot of the big names decided to come back to thrash in 2001, (coincidentally?).

Megadeth - The World Needs A Hero (love the song return to hangar, up there with Rust In Peace material)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdAhJkmUAKg

Sodom - M-16
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKqpiFfs-kI

Destruction - The Antichrist
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TrFwFs11Jo

Kreator - Violent Revolution
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLBjolpmD2Q

Hirax - Barrage of Noise
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pluqGTPBXig

Holy Moses - Master of Disaster
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh_NumAUR9g

This is probably the best song Gargoyle ever released:
Gargoyle - Future Drug


Municipal Waste had their first release in 2001.
Municipal Waste - s/t


It seems like the underground scene was drying up at the same time as the big names were coming back to thrash. I found a couple relatively unknowns though:

Blood Red Angel - The State of Insanity


Immortal Cringe - Undying Fear


Crucial Unit - Premium Iced Tea


Moon of Soul - Égforrás

2000
one of my faves from the 00s.
shits on the majority of nuthrash and comeback albums from the 00s.
their albums after Every Nerve Alive are more original, but i prefer the style they used on ENA, so it's my fave by them

classicthrash.com
"Every Nerve Alive has everything that The Highest Law only hinted at, and more. After the lengthy intro, Ritual Carnage's sophomore effort reveals a full pack of killer thrashers like End Of An Ace and World Wide War that are short, sharp shocks with hardly any time left for breathing in between. When the third track from the beginning starts running with exactly the same kind of relentless beat and precision as both the previous pieces, you know that it will take time to recover after this one. This is an example of traditional thrash metal taken to an extreme level, an intense performance that is decorated with some very tasteful guitar leads. It is still not really the most varied presentation full of rich artistic nuances, but the result makes the strongest possible impression. While The Highest Law was not too remarkable, Every Nerve Alive is actually better than most older albums in the genre - and that is an awfully lot."

'Ash to ashes, dust to dust, all I ever wanted was power of the blood' :kickass:
First time I heard Chuck growling that line were the moment I really started to respect him as a vocalist for some reason..

Also a question. Have their been a list here for favorite release each year between (for example) '85 -> now? Would be interesting, funny and more or less impossible to name it.

Nonetheless I'm working on it, heh. I've got a playlist for every year going back to '81.

What, no Anacrusis, Hexenhaus and Znowhite in the list of 1988? OK, musical tastes are different - or haven't you simply heard any of these releases yet? (Though I've already posted some links here before.)

By the way, Battlefield's "We Come To Fight" definitely doesn't belong into 1987 (even though it says so on metal archives and in the German wikipedia-entry). On the label of my vinyl-copy and on the backside of the album-cover - it's the catalogue-ID mentioned on metal archives - it says "(C) + (P) 1988", which means it was recorded in 1988. It was reviewed in the February 1989-issue of the German Metal Hammer magazine (which came out at the end of January 1989) and in the January/February 1989-issue of the German Rock Hard magazine (which came out eihter at the end of December 1988 or the beginning of January 1989) - I just checked my copies. Albums usually were/are reviewed either the month they are released or a bit earlier, but since this EP was released on a small record label, it might have taken some time until it was reviewed by bigger magazines, thus it might have already been released in 1988, but not in 1987. All I can say is that the EP was definitely available at the end of January 1989, because that's when I bought it.
