my friends and I are trying to come up with some classic thrash bands from 1986-1994. can ya list some? Looking for some obscure ones.
An example how about this band Confessor? Back in 1991 they put out a killer album that was technical and weird. Can't find it anymore but i see they are back together and released something new? anyone have it?
[Jan 12,2006 10:56am - wacko ""]
oh and anyone remember that NJ band Blood Feast? Chopping Block Blues!
[Jan 12,2006 11:02am - ichabod ""]
Gotta check out Razor (from Canada), and oh,shit, I could go on for days being the old geezer I am...I'll be selling a lot of classic and obscure hardcore and thrash metal from the 80's on cassette soon. I'll post when the sale is organized. Hell, I used to play Blood Feast on my radio show!!!
[Jan 12,2006 12:12pm - mark fucking richards ""]
check out forbidden if you haven't heard them already; awesome thrash band
[Jan 12,2006 12:14pm - wacko ""]
yeah twisted into form, i have the old CD, haven't listened to it in at least 12 years. wow.
hey ichabod name some cool obscure thrash acts. i'm really into the stuff from the late 80's early 90's that no one gave a chance because the grunge scene took over.

I can't account for this guy's tastes (or anyone who would give Artillery "By Inheritance" a mediocre score), but check out:
http://www.classicthrash.com
He has some reviews and notes about a whole bunch of obscure bands from the time period you are looking for.
You could also look through my music list, I write very short (and sometimes funny) blurbs for each CD, although you'll have to fish through to find the thrash stuff.
http://www.geocities.com/otterwaldi/music.html
Hope those help get you started, there are 100s of bands worth checking out that match the description you are looking for.
Two of the best thrash albums ever, both extremly technical and far beyond their time (and riffwise, ahead of our own time).
Deathrow - Deception Ignored (1989)
Artillery - By Inheritance (1990)
Some of my favorite metal ever.

awesome! thanks guys.
I hear a lot about TANKARD, what are they like?
Defiance Void Terra Ferma, yup use to own that CD and I actually didn't think they were that great.
I also had a tape back in the day by Assassin Interstellar something. I just remember they crushed. Also a band from Britain called Virus weren't bad, another tape I have. ANACRUSIS i wanted to like but never got into them...
Keep em coming and yeah someone has suggested Artillery's By Inheritance to me. Heard of them but never checked them out back then.
that classicthrash.com is a really cool page. pretty informative.

Blood Feast kicked ass but that album bites the big one.

to list the obvious...Anthrax, Sacred Reich, Exodus, (bonded by blood) Vio-lence

why did chopping block bite? that was the only one i had i think and i remember lovin it. Lyrics sucked big time but musically the drumming was pretty cool... i may have had an older tape from one of their shows from back in the day but i'm sure its long gone...
Aggression The Full Treatment was a cool tape but I remember the recording wasn't as good. Canadian thrash! :skull:
[Jan 12,2006 3:14pm - Dissector ""]
For bands that haven't been listed yet
Death Strike (death/thrash with member of Master)
Exorcist (black metal style lyrics and vocals with thrash music)
Fastkill (Kreator styled)
Gammacide (fast thrash)
Mace ( Heavy metal/power metal/punk/ thrash)
Wehrmacht (Crossover)
Num Skull (black/death styled thrash)
Onslaught (black/death thrash)
Sadus (sorta Kreator styled)
That's all I can think of on the top of my head besides the ones that everybody knows. I have a bunch of other thrash cds but I don't feel like going through my whole collection right now.

If that's the only one you heard then that kinda explains why you liked it. Listen to their first cd and their mini-cd. It's godly.

Exorcist is really amazing, especially because it's the guy from Virgin Steele who actually finished that record.
I'm not really a fan of Wehrmacht, they are a terrible band and Tankard are similar and far better musically. All the others Dissector listed are cool though.
[Jan 12,2006 3:28pm - wacko ""]
sadus swallowed in black was a great one but they were more speedy metal than thrash i guess. ah its all the same!
Yes I had a Blood Feast tape that had like 4 songs on it i recall. I can't remember what it sounded like though.

It was probably Face Fate then. That one shreds.
[Jan 12,2006 3:37pm - Dissector ""]
and also some of the best thrash I've ever heard came from an old punk band, English Dogs. Check out:
English Dogs - Forward Into Battle
English Dogs - Where Legend Began
English Dogs - Metalmorphosis
They used to be a punk band then changed full out metal. Not even corssover hardcore metal stuff.
[Jan 12,2006 3:40pm - wacko ""]
DAMN, i bought that tape at a show they played at back in 1990 when i was in 9th grade! I no longer have it, but i do remember it only had 4 songs. Then I bought that Chopping Block Blues CD shortly after. maybe i'll try to search for that on P2P if possible. I know its been long OOP
[Jan 12,2006 3:59pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""]
English dogs were one of the few punk bands to cross over successfully into metal. But even their punk is good.
[Jan 12,2006 5:35pm - ichabod ""]
Oh shit!!! Wermacht! Tankard! Y'all ar ticklin' my nostalgia bones here! how about Jersey Dogs, Cryptic Slaughter, Piledriver, the Broken Bones crossover stuff (Bonecrusher, etc.), oh my god I'm gonna have to dust off the LP's...I sold a bunch of shirts from these bands on ebay and made a ton o' $
That's how I came to know the Abhorred fellas too, they listed Possessed as a favorite ( saw 'em with Dark Angel at the Paradise)...fucking brilliant. Love Thrash..."When Thrash is Dead You'll Be Gone"..truer words I never spoke.[Jan 12,2006 5:59pm - BlackoutRick ""]

Oh shit!! Good one with fuckin Sadus!! Where was my head at? Steve Digeorgio is brilliant. Love those guys. Dissection is very thrash but they are tagged as black.
Dissection
Sadus
Overkill (another big duh)
Exhorder is by far the best (Then Pantera took their steam. But I still love Pantera.)
[Jan 12,2006 7:20pm - Anthony nli ""]
Some obscure ones I love are
Heathen
Toxik
Realm
Artillery (already mentioned, but I should add that their first two records are also great, as well as BACK from 97.)
[Jan 12,2006 7:21pm - Anthony nli ""]
It's a crime that more people haven't heard Realm - Suiciety
What a killer record.

Broken Bones and Cryptic Slaughter are fucking amazing. I figured they were too on the punk side to mention here but I'm glad somebody else did.
[Jan 12,2006 10:55pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""]
Suicity is a great album, but Endless War is fucking amazing (by Realm).
[Jan 12,2006 11:09pm - Good ol days ""]
wow a lot of blasts from the pasts going on here, makes me cry, I AM OLD!!!! 1988-1992 was the high point for thrash. i mean when was the last time you went to a local thrash metal show??? 1992 for me before hardcore took over the scene in full force 1993. I've seen Blood Feast, Demolition Hammer, MOD, Overkill, Nuclear Assault a ton of times in CT back in 1990. They were considered "local" back then. Also got to see Dark Angel, Atrophy, Sadus, Death Angel, Dead Horse, Believer, Rigor Mortis, tankard, Exorder, and tons more roll through CT back then.
brings a tear to my eye. those were the good ol days

nice guys, i'm kinda trying to find this stuff on P2P but no luck. I see a lot of the stuff on ebay and I won a few auctions.
Dark Angel - Time does not heal for 99 cents + shipping. Can't beat that!
Artillery - By Inheritence for $8
Blood Feast - Face Fate for $10 and ya only get 4 songs but I'm very curious to hear what "they use to" sound like pre Chopping Block Blues
Tankard I honestly do not like. Aw well. I'm going to continue my quest for the past!!!

which dead horse album? The one with "Rock Lobster"!? I can't remember what they sounded like. Wargasm wasn't a personal fave of mine...

Kill For Pleasure is the best Blood Feast album in my opinion but a lot of people say Face Fate.
[Jan 13,2006 10:39am - wacko ""]
i know when i saw them play they played more songs from chopping block blues. i remember people telling me that chopping was a more polished tame blood feast and that their 1st album on LP! was more speed evil thrash metal. I just remember everyone complaining about the recording of that album and how much it sucked.

Yeah it's way more polished. Their first LP was extreme as fuck.
[Jan 13,2006 11:54am - AUTOPSY_666 ""]
WARGASM - Why Play Around is really the only worthy CD, and yes, the DEAD HORSE - Peaceful Death And Pretty Flowers CD has the B-52's cover song on it.

what about CORONER from Sweeden? the tech thrash metal band of the late 80's early 90's????
[Jan 13,2006 9:59pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""]
CORONER are from Switzerland, the same as CELTIC FROST and SAMAEL.
[Jan 13,2006 11:16pm - Good ol days ""]
Coroner, yeah swiss, rolex watches! they were a cool band and probably ahead of their time. Iron Angel wasn't that great. Acid Reign was decent british thrash but the vocals sucked. I'd suggest Obnoxious if you can ever find it. I have it on tape. Razor shotgun justice was a good one also but i doubt you'll ever find that, i got it on tape. Anacrusis first album is good minus the HORRIBLE vocals.
[Jan 13,2006 11:32pm - Good ol days ""]
oh Razor's song "United by Hatred" is a complete rip off of "Angel of Death". its kinda of funny
