Faves:
1) Seventh Angel (wish they had more than 2 studio albums)
2) Believer (truly unique and awesome
3) Deliverance
4) Tourniquet
5) Extol
6) Vengeance Rising
7) Living Sacrifice
8. Mortification
9) The Crucified
10) Ultimatum (only know some songs, but they rock)
Seventh Angel is one of my favorite bands. They just wrote really good music with solid lyrics.
Believer - glad they are going to put out some new music. I've sorely missed their unique sound of symphonic thrash! The Trilogy of Knowledge and Dies Irae baby - yeah!
Tourniquet's first album is what got me into them - Ark of Suffering is a really good song. Guy's voice is great. 2nd album rocks, especially A Dog's Breakfast and Viento Borrasco. POD is a great album, especially with Pathogenic Occular Dissonance, Phantom Limb, The Skeezix Dilemma. Also cool are the two tracks on their greatest hits album - Perfect Night for a Hanging and The Hand Trembler.
Extol can play any style it seems and play it really well (see Synergy).
I have a soft spot for Living Sacrifice's first album - it just rocks.
Vengeance Rising - having the whole catalog, the first two albums are really really great. Human Sacrifice, Ascension, Warfare, etc.
Like I said before, really looking forward to hearing the whole Ultimatum catalog.
:metal: Long live thrash.
