Inspired by Certif1ed's NWOBHM Top 10, here's out post-your-top-10-thrash-songs, and this top 10 thread allows both obscurities and super mega hits. Here's mine (the order's arbitrary though, because I love them equally): 1. Invocator - "Weave the Apocalypse" 2. Megadeth - "Hangar 18" 3. Metallica - "The Shortest Straw" 4. Artillery - "Khomaniac" 5. Slayer - "The Disciple" 6. Exodus - "Toxic Waltz" 7. Annihilator - "Stonewall" 8. Anthrax - "Indians" 9. Sepultura - "Arise" 10. Celtic Frost - "Circle of the Tyrants" -------------

Megadeth - Tornado of Souls, Hangar 18, High Speed Dirt ( Hmm...that was three )
Metallica - Blackened, Battery ( ups that�s two
 )Slayer - Angel of Death, Live Undead, War Ensemble ( ups three this time
 )Annihilator - Sixes and Sevens
Hmm...I guess that leaves only one left.
I guess Mass Hypnosis by Sepultura should make the list as it was the song that introduced me to the band and to extreme music in general. I still love that one. It�s in close competition with Inner Self though. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

I probably don't listen to enough pure thrash bands to make a balanced top 10. It would probably consist of songs mainly from Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Sepultura, and potentially Testament. Probably 5 would be Metallica songs. I'm no fun.

Aw, c'mon... then give us a list where five songs are Metallica songs. It'll be interesting ;-) -------------

Alrighty then. Off the top of my head and in no order: 1. Metallica - Master Of Puppets (aside from the mid section it's a thrash song) 2. Megadeth - Holy Wars 3. Sepultura - Beneath The Remains 4. Sepultura - Arise 5. Metallica - Blackened 6. Slayer - Angel Of Death 7. Testament - Over The Wall 8. Metallica - Creeping Death 9. Metallica - Battery 10. Megadeth - Set The World Afire I tried to leave out slower songs (like some of my favorites on South of Heaven and Seasons In The Abyss), and left off some of Anthrax's stuff since I prefer the Bush era (non-thrash) songs. An honorable mention would go to Forbidden, but I think I'm more of a fan of their riffing than their overall structuring of songs. |

I've not listened to much thrash in a long, long time. I think that I would need a multiple choice list of thrash bands and songs from the 80's and early 90's to choose from. I don't think that I am capable of making a list.  -------------

A song like "Disco's Out, Murder's In" by Suicidal Tendencies could also have made my list. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

A lot of songs could have made the list... I'm already kicking myself for leaving out a whole bunch of kick-ass songs from my list.

Well not the most thrashy song they ever made...but I�ve played the title track from Independent �till my fingers bled. I can highly recommend guitar beginners to start their metal lessons there. Pretty easy song with very few chords but my my is it a catchy mother. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

We even had a cover version of that track in our set back in the Erector days. -------------

We've discussed playing it in one of my present bands so maybe there is a chance - but we'd play it in B though.

1. Forbidden- Rest in Peace /or Twisted into Form 2. Powermad- Brainstorms 3. Sabbat- Advent of Insanity/Do Dark Horses dream of Nightmares 4. Realm- Endless War /or Scream Bloody Murder 5. Kreator- Betrayer/or When the Sun Burns Red 6. Megadeth- Holy Wars/The Punishment Due 7. Flotsam & Jetsam- Mis-guided Fortune /or No Place for Disgrace 8. Overkill- Coma 9. Metallica- Fight Fire with Fire /or Disposable Heroes 10. Metal Church- (My Favorite) Nightmare Honourable mentions: 11. Reverend- Wretched Excess 12. Vio-Lence- World within a World 13. Testament- The Haunting 14. Laaz Rockit- Fire in the Hole 15. Anthrax- Spreading the Disease or/Persistance of Time 16. Deathrow- Events in Concealment I better stop because I could go on . . . A little after this "Era" of Thrash I started getting into the more "Technical" Type of Thrash and Progressive Metal. Any order, but Top 4 will probably be my fave Thrash Bands of all time, while 16's last album was the one that made me take notice-as every song is astounding (yet almost forgot to add them  ).------------- "If you're happy to be an Ant in the Sand Box, you're welcome to it!" -Forbidden For Progressive Metal and Prog Rock, come visit, request songs and explore at PrOgulus.com |

Deathrow seem to be one of those thrash metal acts that never got the recognition they deserved. Take a listen to " http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/deathrow--deception-ignored.aspx - Deception Ignored " ( where "Events of Concealment" comes from). Now that�s one beast of a technical thrash metal album. You also mention Realm, which I think is a highly recommendable act too. One part progressive metal and one part thrash. A great combination. I�m pretty sure Psychotic Waltz listened to them in the early days. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Well of course  . . .I have "Deception Ignored" ONLY on LP  , and Realm's "Endless War" on LP and the Re-issue CDthat I've waited for 15+ Years for! 
"Suiciety" (their 2nd), I have the 1st CD pressing and just got the Re-Issue, for the King Crimson re-make "One more Red Nightmare" as a bonus Track. There was a very unusual Record Store on Hollywood Blvd. Decades ago that had it on Vinyl, so I blew that one  .Deception Ignored (Deathrow) needs to be re-issued  Whomever did the Sabbat re-issuesfor the "Noise Label" needs to get on that (As Deathrow were on Noise as well)! I could have easily picked ANY song off that album because theyre all excellent, great Tech-Thrash way ahead of its time. (Note: all those Thrash songs on my Lists I have either on LP, CD, or both). ------------- "If you're happy to be an Ant in the Sand Box, you're welcome to it!" -Forbidden For Progressive Metal and Prog Rock, come visit, request songs and explore at PrOgulus.com |

OH MY!  !Oh man its been 2 years at-least! Let me see . . . (looks in my stack here...) Ha! its our friends at Roadrunner .If you go here: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/search/?cx=partner-pub-1677157433905721%3Aamgusb-97wk&cof=FORID%3A9&q=re-releases#992 - http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/search/?cx=partner-pub-1677157433905721%3Aamgusb-97wk&cof=FORID%3A9&q=re-releases#992 You'll see the other re-issues too! They are all limited to 2000 copies and are Numbered and have a holographic sticker signifying its part of their series (They need to make a special section so we can see them). Man... I hope you knew about the Sabbat re-issues in 2007, that is on (looks in stack again...) . . .Okay thats curious, the Re-issues are on Noise and Sanctuary: http://www.myspace.com/sanctuaryrecords - http://www.myspace.com/sanctuaryrecords Thats ONLY for "History of a Time to Come" and "Dreamweaver" (Now "Mourning has Broken" is the toughest to find, I have a copy, but want another to send to Progulus.com). Ugh . . . Sanctuary got absorbed by Universal  but Sanctuary UK seems to be running on a shoestring (read MYspace site info). UMUR, if you cant order the Realm stuff I can order it via the Amoeba Music "Super Store" in Hollywood, just PM me here and we'll sort it out  .Amoeba: http://www.amoeba.com/ - http://www.amoeba.com/ ------------- "If you're happy to be an Ant in the Sand Box, you're welcome to it!" -Forbidden For Progressive Metal and Prog Rock, come visit, request songs and explore at PrOgulus.com |

I'll have to send an Email and see whats up with that, the 1st 2 albums were supposed to be re-released in 2008! . . . and that doesnt include "Deception Ignored"  ignored.------------- "If you're happy to be an Ant in the Sand Box, you're welcome to it!" -Forbidden For Progressive Metal and Prog Rock, come visit, request songs and explore at PrOgulus.com |
