Slayer - Hell Awaits

Genre: Thrash
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 1985


1. Hell Awaits
2. Kill Again
3. At Dawn They Sleep
4. Praise Of Death
5. Necrophiliac
6. Crypts Of Eternity
7. Hardening Of The Arteries

2nd album by Slayer. It is again a dark, foreboding effort, but it manages to incorporate at least some of the energy of 'Show No Mercy' with more ambitious song structures. Musically there are no big differences, and for the most part the material is basically fine. The production lacks some dynamics again, but the quality is pretty sufficient anyway. It is a definite improvement over the preceding mini album and a sign of even better things to come.

Blood Feast - Kill For Pleasure

Genre: Thrash/Death
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 1987

1. Menacing Thunder
2. Kill For Pleasure
3. Cannibal
4. Vampire
5. Blood Lust
6. Suicidal Mission
7. Venomous Death
8. The Evil
9. Darkside
10. R.I.P.

Quite a primitive debut album by Blood Feast. Slayerish debut of one-dimensional thrash metal with a very thin and messy sound. The music is constantly fast and sounds fairly nasty. A notable feature of the early Blood Feast sound was Gary Markovitch's nasty vocals that add to the somewhat wicked feel of the music.

9. Under The Guillotine

2nd album by Kreator. After a primitive debut album, Kreator released one of their fan favorite albums, which was a ferocious and bitting mixture of all out speed with all out aggression, that subsequently went on to become one of the band’s best known works, hugely influential and a classic album of thrash metal in general.

19. Argument Then War 20. Evil Minds 21. Slit My Wrist
22. Busted Again 23. Equal People 24. On My Way Home 25. Bail Out

2nd album by D.R.I.. This album shows quite a bit of growth from their debut, even though it features reworked versions of many of the songs from the Dirty Rotten LP. The riffs are memorable punk phrasings played at lightning speed, with a slightly dark, metal flavored tone about them. Generally the songs are nonlinear, frequently alternating between fast and unmoshibly slow phases, and then ending abruptly.

Dismember - Indecent & Obscene

Genre: Death
Country: Sweden
Year: 1993

5. Souldevourer

2nd album by Dismember. Drummer Fred Estby and bassist Richard Cabeza produce one of music’s most devastating rhythm sections, while lead guitarist David Blomqvist causes major sensory damage with his playing. They came up with the name for this album after a british newspaper referred to the band as Indecent and Obscene. The idea for the cover design came after seeing a poster of Jim Morrison of The Doors.

Every riff, lyric, sound effect and solo has been crafted with utmost dedication.

Alpinist & Masakari - Split

Genre: Hardcore/Crust/Sludge
Country: Germany/U.S.A.
Year: 2011

Alpinist
1. Abgerichtet
2. Subjection
3. Steps
4. Postmodern Problems
5. Unwanted Encore
6. Instrumental
7. Quelle Valeur Reste
Masakari
8. XVII. The Obscene Underbelly

10. XVII. Sleep
11. XXII. Q. Culture A. Resist
12. XXIV. Trapped In The Mold
13. XXI. Progress
14. XXIII. Hexenhammer 15. XX. Modulation

Germany's Alpinist meets Cleveland, Ohio's Masakari to present pure hardcore punk brutality. Alpinist's crusty aesthetic creates an all around dense atmosphere, which adds a little bit of character to an otherwise chaotic and unruly album. Masakari throw in a solid helping of sludgy crust and somber melodies to deliver a truly fresh and energized take on the sub-genre.

Grave Digger - Heavy Metal Breakdown

Genre: Heavy

Year: 1984

1. Headbanging Man
2. Heavy Metal Breakdown
3. Back From The War
4. Yesterday
5. We Wanna Rock You
6. Legion Of The Lost
7. Tyrant
8. 2000 Light Years from Home (The Rolling Stones cover)
9. Heart Attack

Debut album by Grave Digger. This is a pretty solid speed metal album here. Some of the ideas are a bit stronger than others, but in entirety it is an enjoyable listen. Hammering home one huge speed metal riff after another, Heavy Metal Breakdown starts off balls to the wall and just gets heavier.

Dark Angel - Darkness Descends

Genre: Thrash
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 1986


1. Darkness Descends
2. The Burning Of Sodom
3. Hunger Of The Undead
4. Merciless Death
5. Death Is Certain (Life Is Not)
6. Black Prophecies
7. Perish In Flames

2nd album by Dark Angel. The band had found the true formula of intense thrash metal and the result is a wonderful combination of fast riffs,  some very hard-hitting drumming and striking vocals. Many tracks are faster than ever before and this album is some real fun to listen to. The only disadvantage may be the production which, while still pretty decent, has lost some clarity compared to the band's debut.

Tokyo Blade - Thousand Men Strong

Genre: Heavy/ NWOBHM
Country: England
Year: 2011

1. Black Abyss
2. Thousand Men Strong
3. Lunch-Case
4. Forged In Hell's Fire
5. No Conclusion
6. The Ambush
7. Killing Rays
8. Heading Down The Road
9. Condemned To Fire
10. Night Of The Blade

8th album by Tokyo Blade, 13 years after their last one. Most of the band’s original line up has remained intact, except for lead singer Nicolaj Runhow who takes first bite in the vocal department and he does it pretty well. They do not live in the past too much and bring in modern production values. The dual lead guitars feel so fresh in an era dominated by down-tuned guitars.

Denial Fiend - Horror Holocaust

Genre: Death/Crossover
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2011


1. Corrupted Flesh
2. Stuck Pig/Bleeding Out
3. After Party Massacre
4. Flesh Coffin
5. A Fiend Without A Face
6. Horror Holocaust
7. Dunsmoor
8. Hell Asylum

2nd album by Denial Fiend, a 'supergroup' consisting of Terry Butler (Death, Massacre,etc), Sam Williams (Massacre), Rob Rampy (D.R.I., etc.) and Blaine Cook (The Accused,etc.). It’s mid to fast paced thrashy death with lots of big, crunchy riffings and wild solos. Blaine is unleashed behind the mic and on most of the songs he never stops his weird, insane screaming and cartoon voices. With lyrics revolving around horror and slasher movies, they play with fierce intensity and have put out an album that will appeal to not only death metal freaks, but hardcore and crossover fans as well.

Hate Eternal - Phoenix Amongst The Ashes

Genre: Death
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2011

1. Rebirth
2. The Eternal Ruler
3. Thorns Of Acacia
4. Haunting Abound
5. The Art Of Redemption
6. Phoenix Amongst The Ashes
7. Deathveil
8. Hatesworn
9. Lake Ablaze
10. The Fire Of Resurrection

5th album by hate Eternal. We’re basically talking about 42 minutes of straight forward brutality. The guitars are intricate, the drums fast and technical, the vocals scathing and the melody virtually non-existent. Continuing with tradition, Erik Rutan and friends show off their technical proficiency throughout the album’s ten tracks. It is almost too fast for time itself, with a whirlwind of drums and guitars hurtle by at an ungodly pace.

Great album!
