Track Of The Day - The Pit Edition
The lengthy & much more downtempo blackened stoner metal change-up track from the Brazilian thrashers' 1987 second album "Anthropophagy". It sounds totally different from the rest of the album but suffers less from the inherent production issues due to its added space. There's plenty of "Vol 4"-era Black Sabbath to a couple of the groovier riffs.
German thrash metal from 1987 ala Destruction.
The masters of modern groove metal are back with their new self-titled album coming out in May! Check out this sick single for a sneak peek:
A belter of a mid-80's US thrash number.
Peak time Teutonic thrash metal that sounds a hell of a lot like mid-80's Slayer. I fucking love it!
Some high energy speed metal from one of the mainstays of Canadian thrash.
A killer progressive thrash metal hit that sounds a lot like mid-80s Slayer, I swear! Listen to that intro riff and scream before the first verse!
Some decent New York hardcore inspired crossover thrash.
Aggressive mid-80's thrash metal from New Jersey. For fans of Slayer & Dark Angel.
A fantastic mid-80's Brazilian death/thrash number from a comparatively disappointing album.
Teutonic thrash that takes more of a cleaner US direction ala Exodus.
Here's a couple that have been floating my boat over the weekend:
Some obscure Motorhead inspired mid-80's speed metal from Iceland.
Aggressive mid-80's thrash metal from Switzerland.
Aggressive New Jersey thrash metal ala early Exodus, "Show No Mercy"-era Slayer & Possessed.
Raw & aggressive crossover thrash from Montreal, Canada.
Some absolutely stonking mid-80's Belgian thrash metal for fans of Deathrow, Metal Church & Flotsam & Jetsam.
Mid-80's thrash metal from Maryland, USA. This particular track sounds a lot like early Megadeth.
Fantastic mid-80's crossover thrash from Seattle, USA. Should appeal to fans of DRI, Municipal Waste & Cryptic Slaughter.
I don't know about you, but I'm feeling a bit anxious and delusional from the coronavirus pandemic, losing some sense of what's real and fake in the news. This is a well-fit song for the situation happening to me and others:
A belter of a Canadian technical thrash metal outing from 1987.
Crossover thrashcore from Portland, USA. This track sounds like "Darkness Descends"-era Dark Angel on speed! What a ripper of a way to start the album!
The high quality opening track from Swiss thrash metallers Apocalypse's self-titled debut album from 1987. It sounds very much like Metallica's "Battery" crossed with "Bonded By Blood"-era Exodus only the bridge is clearly ripping off Slayer's "Raining Blood".
High energy hardcore-driven crossover thrash with its tongue firmly planted in its cheek. For fans of S.O.D., D.R.I. & Anthrax.
