I’ve been listening to a lot of 80’s Speed/Thrash metal of the last couple of months. Other than the usual mix of Slayer, early Metallica and all that, I’ve been getting into the cult bands, the ones that should have made it but never did.
Voivod and Celtic Frost had just released new albums and decided to check them out. They’re pretty good, yet i somewhat feel that I’ve missed their best work.
Testament, Death Angel, Possessed, Vio-lence (Robb Flynn of Machine Head’s old band)and Dark Angel have most of their work still out there. But there must loads of other stuff that passed me by from that first wave. Kreator were good yet I can’t find their stuff. Nuclear Assualt were good and so was SOD (members of NA and Anthrax).
What other thrashy stuff is out there.
