Track Of The Day - The Pit Edition
A pure thrashy speed metal assault, while keeping the melodic riffing going through the fast tempo:
A metal anthem of speed and fury:
A brilliant moshing anthem from one of the most influential classics in thrash metal history:
A heavy killer thrash tune filled with catchy fun and memorable riffing:
Almost as much of an under 4-minute adventure as Sikth's "How May I Help You?", though this one, instead of being progressive mathcore, is a classic thrash metal hit:
A highlight with everything you could ask for in deathly thrash:
Lots of thrash in the riffs and drumming in this overlooked classic:
A memorable addition to the revival of classic thrash, with different elements of chaotic dissonance:
An incredible blend of raw metal and energetic hardcore to form crossover thrash:
Crusty hardcore and speedy thrash sound great together in this blend of styles known as stenchcore, now don't they?
A brutal headbanging thrash classic:
A 7-minute riff monster in which the band rewrote a composition by ex-guitarist Dave Mustaine, in which the original would be re-recorded by Mustaine's later band Megadeth:
I know how much of a classic the title track is, but this sinister thrasher needs some praise as well:
I've ended my ultimate Pit test in a perfect bang, with Dark Angel's most technical riff-filled offering that includes this mighty 9-minute epic:
A fresh thrashy highlight that really should've been the proper end for the band's swansong album:
Fast harsh aggression of thrash, brilliant for the speedier fans:
RIP Dark Angel guitarist Jim Durkin. Though he's gone from this world now, the wicked thrash material he's made with Dark Angel shall rise in our hearts.
The drummer from Artillery died on the same day. Not a great one for thrash metal it has to be said.

RIP Josua Madsen
I was just thinking that this is something that’s gonna start happening more & more often now given that metal is now more than half a decade old & most of the classic exponents are reaching a reasonable vintage.

...and one of life's fundamental lessons is learnt!
I mean in Durkin's case yeah but Madsen was hit by a bus so not really age/illness related.
The closing track from Lååz Rockit's underwhelming second album, No Stranger to Danger, is clearly the album's highlight:
Kicking a** and moshing as greatly as the original version from Among the Living:
