New Wave of Thrash Metal

Some great bands listed guys.

kyleblack-I really dig Exemloume

Coram- Annihilated and Ancient Dome are good stuff

Anyone else notice how similiar some of the band names look with each other? Specifically:

Eliminator
Eradicator
Municipal Waste
Violator
Haydes
Bonded By Blood
Vindicator
Toxic Holocaust
Skeleton Witch
Ancient Dome
Torment Tool
Are designers getting paid by how many spikes they can add to the letters? No big deal, just an observation.

Thanks Mike, but I don't really consider Ultimatum as part of the "New Wave" since we've been around since 1992. Still, thanks for being a fan.

ok. I consider ultimatum part of the new wave because they werenot really part of the first wave. I didn't really discover ultimatum until a few years ago.

Haha! Yes, I guess we are the middle child that no one cares about.

Blackend rule! Good choice!

Maybe they're all just big fans of Sarcofago.

I like this thread and have added it to my favorites for a reference when next time I shop for thrash. So many of the new wave thrash bands have a habit of sounding too samey so you take a gamble on blind thrash buys. These samples give me an idea of which ones I will like and which ones that would become a one play thing and re-visited years later (which happens with CDs that fail to grab me on the first listen-only favorite bands get the re-play treatment).

This band's vocalist reminds me of Carcass vocals on Heartwork and Swansong.....

... and she's a blonde girl.

Has anyone mentioned Legion Of The Damned?


Tremendous 4 piece from the Netherlands, formerly called Occult.

They were cool as OCCULT, but LOTD bore me to death (not to thrash ).

No mention of Dekapitator?

There are so many threads relating to this particular topic, though not always in title. I am sure they've been mentioned. I have praised "Storm Before The Calm" here in discussion. I wanna get "We Will Destroy...You Will Obey"

I prefer the solos on We Will Destroy...You Will Obey. Might have something to do with James Murphy s presence.

Might be (I've never heard them but this tells me I should try them out). I love James Murphy's solos on Testement-Low and Obituary-Cause Of Death.

Excruciator is a local band from Portland Oregon.

He doesn' t play on it, but he produced it, so the i think his influence is definitely there.

Portland has a thrash band?

I feel like you are Brian for some reason..ahahah.

Yeah dude, Toxic holocaust is based out of PDX also but not really a true band from the area since Im pretty sure Joel relocated from Maryland.

Check out an album Stormspell reissued a couple years back by a band called Chemical Annhilation called "why die?" They were from Oregon also.

I've been enjoying the new INVECTION CD.

Here are some for you that some of you probably don't know!

King's-Evil:



Vicious Circle (although not part of the new wave, they weren't in the old waves either.



and since you guys keep skipping one of the best....



Nocturnal Fear:

I remember King's Evil from when I worked at the CD store...badass!

That track I posted is off their newest album. That band went from fast and insane to faster and more insane! LOL I LOVE IT!!!

I've heard most of these bands before but not all.

I'm just really not hearing much strong songwriting.

I think VIOLATOR's "Atomic Nightmare" is by far the best song in the thread. Kinda reminds me of SLAYER or DARK ANGEL and doesn't seem to add anything new to the mix that I hear.
