Thrash!

[Burkhard]

They definitely stole it from Morbid Angel.

The other way round. "A Tribute To Insanity" was released at the end of 1988.

I can't even put my finger on what it is I like about this album, I'll just sitting there relaxing and listening to it and be like "Wow this is so good" but I don't know why.

It's also still one of my overall favourite thrash metal albums. Some songs have been posted on youtube. My three favourite songs are "As Darkness Falls...", "Incubus" and "Death Walks Among Us". Here's the clip of the latter:

Way to miss the sarcasm, dude. Neither band actually stole it, since both of them legally used an existing painting as album art, Hexenhaus being the first, of course.

oh Derek...

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Destruction - Infernal Overkill

FINALLY! Someone put this on their list. Jesus Christ its about time someone got it right.

 

[AchrisK]

^That is the best Destruction album ever, and just plain ol' one of the best albums ever.

 

[Onder]

oh Derek...

Anyone else realize the more they listen to watchtower the better they get? Energetic assembly just ducking rules and probably a top 5 for me. I still need an essential black/thrash list

 

[sarkain]

Yes, Watchtower is indeed awesome. Too bad they made only two albums. However the Jarzombek brothers have put out pretty good music with their own bands since the end of Watchtower. Especially Blotted Science, Ron's new project. Awesome prog metal, definitely worth checking.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Energetic Disassembly is an insane album, top 3 material. If Tyrants in Distress didn't sound like Jacob's Ladder v2 it would rank higher.

Black/thrash? I don't have a list, but listen to Messiah's Hymn to Abramelin and Extreme Cold Weather if you haven't yet.

[Rumpole]

Great album, perfect blend of Show No Mercy and Hell Awaits.

 

[youdontknowme]

I might be purchasing that album soon.

 

[no country for old wainds]

tis good

 

[Koude Haat]

the new minotaur album is killer.

 

[AchrisK]

Got ahold of Forbidden - Forbidden Evil recently. Good album!

 

[skeptik]

Good, though inconsistent. Do you have their second album? I prefer it because it's more consistent, though the first album probably has their best individual songs.

 

[AchrisK]

Twisted Into Form? I do have that, and like it, but it's been a while so I can't remember how it compares. I will likely dig it out soon, though, based on my enjoyment of this.

 

[no country for old wainds]

yeah it's better

 

[rms]

I like twisted into form better to, but I think best forbidden song is follow me. Really great way to close the disc imo
