Favorite 80's thrash album[views:6795][posts:26]__________________________________ [Jan 23,2005 8:47am - malettey ""] i'm trying to decide between Testament "the legacy", Slayer "reign in blood", or Bathory "blood fire death" |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 23,2005 10:36am - th3rdknuckle ""] Exodus/Bonded By Blood Better than Kill 'em All, except for the truely bad vocals Voivod/Killing Technology The only band doing anything 'different' at the time Nuclear Assault/Game Over Guilty plaesure; kind of sloppy-but-fun, like an old AC/DC album Whiplash/Ticket to Mayhem All three guys in the band were named Tony; great album |

| ______________________________________ [Jan 23,2005 2:46pm - th3rdknuckle ""] i also LOVED that band from Canada, DBC (Dead Brain Cells)... both albums are KILLER (1st one is better). I strongly urge anyone into this thread who hasn't heard it to try to find it. good luck, though... |

It's the original recording of the testament album when they were still called "The Legacy" and had the singer from Exodus. I actually liked it a lot better than the other version with Chuck Billy, but I'm glad they changed the name to Testament. Pretty much all the songs were identical, except the singing. You can even hear on "the legacy" how chuck billy kinda tries to sound a little like the dude from exodus. |

| __________________________________ [Jan 23,2005 3:40pm - litacore ""] if I HAD to pick a top ten: 1.) Slayer 'Reign in Blood' (the standard by which I judge everything that walks the Earth) 2.) Venom 'Black Metal' (dark production, evil riffs, unbelievable vocals for its time. Still my favorite band ever, supplanted ONLY by The Who) 3.) Celtic Frost 'To Mega Therion' (French horns and that opera lady behind that distorted guitar. I so wish they'd kept it up; they BLEW after this.) 4.) Coroner 'R.I.P.' (so fucking technical, such atmosphere. This needs to be on our radar constantly) 5.) Wargasm 'Why Play Around' (one of the best thrash bands to come out of Massachusetts, bar none. Perfectly indicative that anything is possible. I want to strangle that label, though, for taking what--TWO YEARS to release the fucker?) 6.) Bathory 'Under the Sign of the Black Mark' (technically BM, but whatever--my favorite slab of Bathory. Like Venom's 'Black Metal' in its dark production, AND proof positive that keyboards can work well in extreme metal) 7.) Whiplash 'Power and Pain' (That's right, they were all named Tony, hahaha! Great rapid-fire guitar. Slayer listened to this album and picked T.J. Scaglione to replace Dave Lombardo. That's how good it is.) 8.) Voivod 'Killing Technology' (man, this band was so interesting. One of the first guitarists I heard back then putting diminished and augmented chords to such good use. One of the most underrated guitarists ever. And Blacky's bass tone/playing is (was) THE SHIT. 'Dimension Hatross' was also great, but THIS puppy is fucking unbelievable.) 9.) Kreator 'Pleasure to Kill' (the most extreme for its time, except for Sodom perhaps, but I only heard Sodom for the first time this past year, we're talkin' about our impressions of these bands, growing up BACK THEN and first cutting our teeth on our instruments. 'Terrible Certainty' was also a great fucking album, but the songs didn't quite match the momentum of brutality that this one assaulted us with.) 10.) and finally, DEATH 'LEPROSY'--you would listen to it and be like, "am I supposed to be liking this? it's so fucking disgusting! . . . will I be asked to the prom? . . . will this zit pop, already? . . . what is this thing on my body? . . . shit, this band is the nastiest thing I've ever heard. TURN IT THE FUCK UP." HONORABLE MENTION: Detente 'Recognize No Authority', I dunno what happened to this band, they kind of imploded after this one release, but the vocals are so nasty for a girl and the guitar work is also pretty sick. Dawn Crosby (the singer) died sometime in the early 90's, and guitarist Ross Robinson went on to be a Nu-Metal producer for Slipknot and Korn. Ghey. But this CD was great. I very much doubt it's in print anymore. I had to e-bay a bootleg copy. |

| __________________________________ [Jan 24,2005 9:00pm - litacore ""] I like how 'Plaster of Muppets' isn't on many lists. they hadn't victimized us with the Black Album back then--but THRASH? in light of all that's happened to Metallica, that's debatable. |
