Default Top 10 Thrash Albums (One Artist Per List)

Simple enough. What's your top ten list for thrash albums, and only one album per artist. Mine is more or less in order, but the last few entries might not be in order.


1. Metallica - Kill Em All
2. Slayer - Hell Awaits
3. Vio-lence - Eternal Nightmare
4. Demolition Hammer - Epidemic of Violence
5. Anthrax - Spread the Disease
6. Megadeth - Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good
7. Exodus - Bonded by Blood
8. Overkill - The Years of Decay
9. Dark Angel - Time Does not Heal
10. Anacrusis - Suffering Hour

I used to like Idolatry more, but these days it's not quite brutal enough, not quite raw enough, not quite energetic enough, not quite awesome enough to satisfy me thoroughly. It's got great parts (and the title track is still the ****ing business) but other death thrash albums grab me more. Aside from Demolition Hammer, I'd put Morbid Saint's Spectrum of Death, Protector's A Shedding of Skin, Solstice's self-titled (if for only intensity), both Exhorder albums, and possibly Num Skull's Ritually Abused above it.

I decided this wasn't strictly thrash.

Dude, it's totally thrash. It definitely doesn't cross the line into death metal. And props for Shovel Headed Kill Machine. It's not quite the Exodus album I'd have chosen, but that just might be nostalgia. 20th century Exodus is the best thrash metal band, even if no one else knows it.

Tempo of the Damned is my favorite Exodus album I think. SHKM is cool and should have been the way they kept going with the Dukes albums because the ones after that could get pretty boring.

Yeah after SHKM they got too long-winded, but they still always made at least a few of the best thrash songs ever made. Shovel-Headed Kill Machine was just too "really ****ing good" all the way through, but without quite being truly brilliant at any point. And Tempo of the Damned was pretty much perfect for the first half, but then became just decent for the second half. I don't think Exodus have ever released an album that didn't have problems. Even Bonded by Blood has some filler.

The longer ones on SHKM are still pretty nice all the way through I think. Deathamphetamine is the best
