Fast Caz Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 This thread is solely for the purpose of ranting and raving about the thrash bands from the 80's.Exodus , Tankard , Pestilence , Dark Angel , Possessed , Sodom , Destruction , Kreator , Demolition Hammer , Cryptic Slaughter.I've been on a thrash binge as of late and completely rekindled my love for all 80's thrash.To start off this thread who would you say was your favorite thrash band from the golden era ?Apart from prime era slayer and metallica it would have to be Destruction for me.

Stripey Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 the 80's was rubbish.p.s how can you rekindle your love of 80's thrash bands if you were only 2 years old in 1990, were you really into them when you were ten then got a bit bored for 9 years before rediscovering them?

Scorge Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Suffering Hour by Anacrusis pisses over everything you've mentioned other than Reign In Blood, I reckon.This is my opinion, feel free to steal it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kreator - Enemy Of God has to be one of the best for me. Obviously KEA and RIB but I'm not meant to include them eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 My favourite era and genre, huge fan of Exodus, Death Angel, Dark Angel, Heathen, Laaz Rockit, Acid Reign, Xentrix, Sabbat, Slammer, Re-Animator, Agent Steel, Testament, Flotsam & Jetsam, Forbidden, Vio-Lence, Kreator, Annihilator, Destruction, Sodom, Holy Moses, Deathwish, Realm, Sacred Reich, Nuclear Assault, Anthrax, Suicidal Tendencies, Metal Church, Overkill, Hexenhaus, Paradox etcDifficult to pick a fav album from then excluding the big boys but would maybe say the 2 Sabbat ones, Dreamweaver and History Of A Time To Come though Annihilator's Alice In Hell and Exodus's Pleasures Of The Flesh push hard for contention.

Norseman Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Sad I know replying to myself but the best gigs of that period I went to were:Slayer/Malice - Reign In Blood tour at the Edinburgh Playhouse (87)Acid Reign - Moshkinstein tour at Edinburgh Venue (88?)Sabbat - Dreamweaver tour at Edinburgh Venue (88/89?)Onslaught - Power From Hell tour at Edinburgh venue (87/88?)There were loads others but these ones stick in my mind (maybe less drunk at them??)

lepeep Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I never got into Dream THeater...they were too much like a glam band doing thrash...they just didn't sit right with me. (mind you...looking at Anthrax in their hay day...ho ho...spandex on joey belladonna, nice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Caz Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 canna beat a bit of Razor and Forbidden now and then . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I do like Helloween and they did start off as thrash, Walls Of Jericho was majorly heavy and fast. I also like that B side they did on Dr Stein, "Savage" which was very much a nod back to their earlier thrash days.Talking of major spandex, have you seen the album cover on Pantera's album "Power Metal", Phil with big hair and spandex! A cracking album as well and definately of the hybrid thrash/groove/power metal style even if they did look like Poison!!Do love Tankard as well, proper beer drinking thrash. Their last 2 albums are probably their best albums to date as well, they have matured and got better with age even if most of the songs are still about getting rat arsed, hehe.That base line to Peace Sells still brings out goose bumps on me.Also forgot to mention Sanctuary, quality melodic thrash act who eventually turned into Nevermore.

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Thread hijack! I have a fair heap of '80's thrash vinyls sitting gathering dust. Anyone wants to take them off my hands, give me a shout and I'll see what there is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 In a similar position myself, have dozens of old thrash albums on vinyl but no turntable. One of these days I will have to buy one as a lot of the stuff I have was never released on CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 well make me a list of what you have and i will write out a blank cheque.Pretty much everything Acid Reign and Nuclear Assault ever did, that good enough for starters?

Norseman Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Takes me back, luckily Acid Reign and Nuclear Assault were bands I managed to get the stuff on CD.Regards previous comment on Kreators - Enemy Of God, a stonking album and vies as one of their best, it's never off my ipod.

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 This thread smells of my youth.Anyone got the Spazztic Blur album, mm, ridiculous.Paul Baloff(RIP) era Exodus, Vio-Lence (what an album), Frost, Raven (borderline), Rage, Destruction, 1st 2 Anthrax albums, Living Death (fucking ding), Sabbat, Onslaught (pre Fatso Grimmet), Venom (worst thrash drumming ever), spot of Gang Green for light relief("Ted Kennedy once said, we'll drive off that bridge when we get to it"), Ho Ho, good or bad, it was usually entertaining. I had to get into dumb party rock when I got older though, as intense is never a happening vibe when out on the town. Actually I went fully Glam to the Celtic Frost/Destruction gig at Edinburgh Playhouse, what a hoot that was.TBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepeep Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 never did get the spastic blurr lp...but the first OLD lp "old lady drivers"... ho ho"leppers with no feet, hopping down the street"...ah, how jimmy "atom smasher" plotkin has grown up.
