Best NEW releases from OLD thrash bands

Sort of a play off of TOB's thread about the new crop of thrash bands. What NEW releases (within the last five years or so) from older bands do you think are really good. (Keep it to about 5)

Hirax - New Age of Terror
Hirax - El Rostro De La Muerta
Meliah Rage - Masquerade (ok, technically not "thrash" but close enough!)
Kreator - Hordes of Chaos
Testament - The Formation of Damnation
Paradox - Electrify

(then I break my own rule and list six. LOL!)

Kreator - Hordes of Chaos
Kreator - Enemy of God
Sodom - Sodom
Testament - The Formation of Damnation
Megadeth - Endgame

MEGADETH - The System has Failed (although I wish it had more thrashy tracks on it)

Destruction - Inventor of Evil
Ultimatum - Into the Pit
Megadeth - Endgame
Kreator - Enemy of God
Deliverance - As Above, So Below

Metallica - Death Magnetic
Megadeth - Endgame

Slayer - World Painted Blood
Testament - The Formation Of Damnation

Testament - The Formation of Damnation
Artillery - When Death Comes

worst? Assassin - The Club [what a piece of crap!]

The last three Megadeth
Metal Church-A Light In The Dark Not technically thrash but i'm sneaking it in.
Testament-FOD
Hirax-Any
Deliverance-As Above So Below

Sacrifice - The Ones I Condemn

I forgot Death Angel's, Killing Season.

So many older bands have been putting out good material but I think I'll go with...

Hirax - New Age of Terror (Still need to give the new one a good listen)
Exodus - Tempo Of The Damned
Testament - The Formation Of Damnation
Kreator - Hordes of Chaos (liked it a bit more than 'Enemy')
Sacrifice - The Ones I Condemn
Megadeth - Endgame

Overkill - Killbox 13

Testament ~ The Formation of Damnation
Exodus ~ The Atrocity Exhibition: Exhibit A
Exodus ~ Tempo of the Damned
Kreator ~ Hordes of Chaos
Metallica ~ Death Magnetic
Ultimatum ~ Into the Pit
Overkill ~ Killbox 13



worst: Deliverance ~ As Above/So Below (I love Deliverance's first 4 albums, was really disappointed in this supposed comeback album).

Exodus-Let there be blood
At War-Infidel
Sodom-Sodom
Faith Or Fear-Instruments of Death
Iron Maiden-A Matter of Life and Death
Laaz Rockit-Left For Dead

excellent choices!! That Artillery is fantastic!

I like the ones I've heard out of all that has been mentioned here. Testament, Overkill etc. But the only one that has truly blown me away is the new Hirax. El Rostro De La Muerte is so unbelievabley good!

Proto-thrash or something, maybe? I dunno. It's good whatever it is.

One of the biggest influences on thrash for sure. Proto-thrash is an interesting description. Motorhead rules!

not even close

No Motorhead - no thrash.

It's as simple as that.
