1989 THRASH METAL OVERLOAD!

I flipped a coin and chose between the two contenders (IMHO)

I have to go with Coroner this time, No More Color is just a brilliant technical thrash disc. Believer's Extraction from Mortality would be my choice if it were in the poll.

Powermad

Overkill, but it was tough.

Three way tie. We need a clear winner so that I can do the final poll–1976-1989

so damn tough. I could have went with Kreator, Sodom, or Sepultura. I went with Coroner. NO MORE COLOR is probably my favorite album by them.

It's a 6 - 6 - 6 tie!!! LOL!!!

1.) Overkill - The Years of Decay

2.) Sepultura - Beneath the Remains

3.) Annihilator - Alice in Hell

4.) Exodus - Fabulous Disaster

5.) Kreator - Extreme Aggression

6.) Nuclear Assault - Handle With Care

7.) Coroner - No More Color

8.) Sodom - Agent Orange

9.) Voivod - Nothingface

10.) Testament - Practice What You Preach

I voted for Testament, but Annihilator and Overkill were CLOSE runner-ups!

Sepultura - Beneath the Remains

Kreator-Extreme aggression
gets my vote

^Me too. I was having a difficult time choosing between that and "No More Color", though. Devastation's "Signs of Life" is another killer thrash album from that year.

If it was on there, Xentrix-Shattered Existence but it ain't so Exodus-Fabulous Disaster folled by Testament and Sepultura.

Not quite thrash, but a forgotten classic:

Also, Living Death's World Neuroses debuted in 1988.

I was the guilty one, I waited on this poll far too long. I had to go with the "Years of Decay". It's not my favorite thrash year, but I had to pay homage to the last album with Gustafson on lead guitar.

1 Overkill - Years of Decay
2 Testament - Practice What You Preach
3 Exodus - Fabulous Disaster
4 Sepultura - Beneath the Remains

I went with No More Color, but all those albums rule. Thinking back, I should've voted for Laaz
