would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now?
Wrathchild America then changed to Souls At Zero were good.DRI were more crossover hardcore thrash that I liked.Cryptic Slaughter- Convicted and Money Talks were great albums.Crumbsuckers- Life Of Dreams and B.O.M.B. (Beast on my Back).Paradox- Heresy.Viking- Man Of Straw is a kick ass album!****I know tons of bands in this style, but please hit me with some underground ones not mentioned as I still enjoy my old school thrash!!!!
Gotta give a big high five to the Forbidden shout out. Forbidden Evil is a masterpiece. Twisted into Form was good, but a slight step down. Distortion was ok.Personally, I thought Green was freaking amazing. People call it a “groove metal” album, but I disagree. Most classic thrash albums only have 2-3 songs that are really break-neck speed, and since Green has Phat and Over the Middle, I think it qualifies as a thrash album. The Omega Wave was also brilliant. Russ is just a beast of a vocalist.How could I forget Coroner??? OMG No More Color is so amazing!! And I would be guilty of treason if I didn’t mention my hometown heroes Forced Entry. They only did two albums before grunge hit and buried them. But As Above So Below was one of the first technical thrash albums, and it’s absolutely a must have .

Lots of memories are flowing now. Atheist - Unquestionable Presence I really think this album turned a corner in introducing more of a jazz influence into thrash. Off the chart musicianship.

Chuck was a HUGE loss!!!He was easily the most important artist for getting death metal to a broader audience. We would not have bands like Black Crown Initiate, neObliviscaris, or Beyond Creation if it was not for him.It is sad to know that he never felt 100% perfect with his music though. I remember watching the Death documentary. It made it seem like he lived a moderately tortured existence when it came to his music. That's why Sound of Perseverance was so different. It would be interesting to have seen and heard how his music would've evolved into the 21st century.
Congrats Lizzo!
Litho ... The North American Evermind!
Litho is like the Stadler on the Music side.
The outro to "Perennial Quest" was what hooked me on Death's music.
I’m not even sure what category it falls under, but I was spinning Celtic Frost’s Into the Pandemonium the other day. You want to talk about an album that completely broke the mold…that was it.Always loved that album, but I don’t know what the reaction was by the death metal community at large since most of my friends didn’t listen to much of it.
Now for a few overlooked gem lists:Sadist - Tribe

Quote from: Glasser on November 13, 2021, 10:13:07 AMWow! Ok now I have to check these out. Sadist is the only one I know. I get the impression you're probably more of a thrash guy. We kind of emptied the vault for it in the first page, at least of stuff I've heard, but there's plenty more death metal left (especially of the melodic variety). I'm a bit more casual about thrash.
