Great 80's Thrash Albums

[Ironderby]

Ok so i went down the first page, didn't see anything by metallica/megadeth. They are the two most awesome thrash bands i dont listen to much. But they're both fxcking epic!

Megadeth and Metallica were mentioned in the 6th post. Plus...

Pick five. Nothing too mainstream allowed.

That seems to have been thrown out the window, though, ha!

celtic frost - morbid tales
d.r.i. - dealing with it
metallica - ride the lightning
exodus - bonded by blood
megadeth - killing is my business

 

[NoiseNinja]

Anthrax- Among the Living (Well known band- great early album)
S.O.D (Scott Ian from Anthrax dropping some of the best heavy riffs -more thrash than Anthrax)- used as the theme music for headbangers ball baclk in the day)

+1

I'll totally take the liberty of self-promoting my band, Bitter End. We were a Seattle band, contemporaries of Forced Entry, Coven, Sanctuary, Panic, etc. We released one album on Metal Blade, "Harsh Realities," in 1990, and are just now releasing a second set of unreleased songs recorded back in 1991. It's called "Have a Nice Death!" and I'm happy to say it's being well-received.

Voivod's Bassist (Jean-Yves Thériault AKA Blacky) is fantastic to listen to. Very original playing: his sound really defines them, in my opinion. Killing Technology, Dimension Hatross and Nothingface are all awesome and worth checking out. Nothingface, may be from the early 90s and has less thrashy, more prog sound... fabulous.

Agreed. But The Outer Limits is better.

Though DH is my current favourite 'early' album. Some nasty-ass bass tone on KT.

Actually, I've decided why bother making a list. Here's one album, all you need.

Infernal Majesty Pretty much destroys most 80s thrash.

 

[PSYCHOTIC]

lets not let this thread die
slayer - show no mercy, hell awaits, chemical warfare ep (IMO best slayer albums)
exodus - impact is imminent, fabulous disaster
dri - thrashzone
possessed - seven churches, and before you tell me its death metal.. its great anyway
testament - the new order, practice what you preach
overkill - feel the fire, taking over, under the influence

Raising The Dead ! This is the best TB thread ever.

Mercyful Fate - Dont Break The Oath and King Diamonds Them !

Oh man, where do I start? Right here!:

Helloween - Helloween, Walls of Jericho
Exciter - Violence and Force, Long Live the Loud
Slayer - Show No Mercy, Hell Awaits, Reign in Blood
Grave Digger - Heavy Metal Breakdown, Witch Hunter
Metallica - Kill 'Em All, Lightning, Master of Puppets
Anthrax - Fistful of Metal
Motorhead - Another Perfect Day (not really thrash, but good stuff nonetheless)
Destruction - Sentence of Death
Hallows Eve - Tales of Terror

Nice. Hallows Eve
