Thrash!

[darrkon]

Bonded By Blood or The Last Act Of Defiance.

 

[The Ozzman]

EVERYBODY'S DOIN' THE TOXIC WALTZ!

 

[no country for old wainds]

ha that album is so fucking stupid, i love the title track

my favourite exodus track is 'deliver us to evil' followed by 'piranha' though definitely, those are two of my favourite songs ever

 

[The Ozzman]

Nah, that album is pretty good.

 

[no country for old wainds]

albums can be stupid and good yknow

 

[no country for old wainds]

Shah is awesome. I've only heard Escape From Mind and Beware, with the first being the better of the two.

yeah i've only heard 'escape from mind', it'd make my top 10 thrash albums no problem

 

[rms]

definitely Exodus

KICK IN YOUR FACE, AND RAPE AND MURDER YOUR WIFE

 

[Slayed Necros]

'Exodus', 'A Lesson in Violence' and 'Deliver Us to Evil'.

Not a lot beats Baloff hysterically screaming the above quote or "GET ON YOUR KNEES AND BOW! OR LEARN A LESSON IN VIOLENCE!"

 

[sevag00]

"And then there were none" is my favorite.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

It's chemi-kill!

 

[Belligerent]

Somebody give me some thrash along the lines of Hatesphere and The Absence.

[DarkBliss]

I don't buy online.

Thanks for that download link, Mort.

edit: Nice.
Production and vocals are weird though. Maybe it'll grow on me.

 

[rms]

uh are you gay? its amazing


DUSKKKKKKK I RULE THE NIGHT AND I REST FOR THE LIGHT OF THE DAYYYYYYYYYYYYY

best intro song ever?

 

[DarkBliss]

It takes me a while to digest albums. Give me some time. I've listened to it 5 times in a row today without getting even lightly
annoyed or tired of it, so that's a good sign

 

[no country for old wainds]

nosferatu is consistently excellent and helstar's best, never have phantom of the opera style theatrics shredded so damn much. i'd like to see more love for 'remnants of war' though, it tends to get ignored in favour of the IMO inferior 'a distant thunder'

helstar are active with the remnants lineup incidentally, in the process of recording an album akin to 'nosferatu' according to MA

 

[DarkBliss]

Damn, Tom, you've almost managed to sway me with your enthusiasm, but I can't quite
share your sentiments. There's just something plastic about Nosferatu, whether it's the production or the vocals, or the combination of both-- there's definitely something off-putting about it. I can't fault the musicianship, it's really nice. Still something doesn't quite feel right.

 

[no country for old wainds]

it's definitely not an album to be taken at all seriously, it's contrived OTT theatrically ominous vampire nonsense at the end of the day, i think part of why i love it is the ridiculous silliness of it, and its faithfulness in spirit to the source material.

out of interest what do you think of atrocity's 'longing for death'? i've always suspected a helstar influence there.
