Obscure THRASH albums...

Obscure THRASH albums that you like as much as the more popular thrash albums.

I really like The Moshketeers - Downward Spiral. Have loved it since it was released two decades ago. What are some Obscure THRASH albums that you like as much as the more popular thrash albums?

not sure if they're considered "obscure" to anyone here, but i really really love Dorsal Atlantica's Antes do Fim & Dividir & Conquistar albums.

I guess obscure is a relative word, but what I meant was, most people pick albums from bands like Slayer, Kreator, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Destruction, Overkill, Tetament, etc. as their top favorite thrash albums. I suppose it's anything outside those universally well known bands.

I've never even heard Dorsal Atlantica's Antes do Fim & Dividir & Conquistar, so I'll have to check that out.

This is really a strong area for me...

Sacrifice - Everything except Apocalypse Inside
Razor - First three and Violent Restitution
Assassin - First album
Deathrow - First two (especially the second)
Vectom - Both
Holy Terror - Both
Protector - First EP and full-length
Morbid Saint - First album
Kublai Khan - First album
Hallows Eve - First three
Hobbs Angel of Death - First album
Mortal Sin - First album
Forced Entry - First album
Devastation - Second and third albums
Destructor - Everything
Hirax - First full-length and EP
Wrath - All three full-lengths
Agony - First album
Blessed Death - Everything
Exumer - First album
Atrophy - Both
Hellish Crossfire - First album
Target - First album
Vendetta - First album
Sauron - First two
Paradox - First album
Deathwish - First album
Bulldozer - Everything except Neurodeliri

Does that give you any ideas? I'd certainly love to discuss some of these bands on here a little bit. Almost all of these albums are in my top 100 favorite thrash albums of all-time, and I listed the stuff in a relatively accurate order.

Nice list Nico. Some good ones in there.

Another one I thought of is:
SACRAMENT - Testimony of Apocalypse
Might be somewhat well known on this board, but generally pretty obscure.

you guys should also check out Transmetal's Sepelio en el Mar . Transmetal are so underrated.

Some of my very favorite thrash albums which are unfortunately RARELY discussed:

TARGET - both albums
ELIMINATOR - Breaking the Wheel
BRAINICIDE - demo
INTRUDER - Psycho Savant
ARTILLERY - Terror Squad, By Inheritance, and BACK
FORCED ENTRY - As Above, So Below
LICH KING - World Gone Dead
AGENT STEEL - Omega Conspiracy
TENSION - Breaking Point
DESTRUCTION - Cracked Brain
HYPNOSIA - Extreme Hatred
MASTERIFF - demo
INFANTRY - demo (also on THRASH CLASH)
HAVE MERCY - Mass Destruction demo

Overthrow - Within Suffering

I don't think I'd call Artillery "obscure". They're a second-tier band, pretty much. Likely because they are one of the most distinctive, original sounding thrash bands.

Yeah, we keep telling them that, but no one listens!

I find it hard to define "obscure" Thrash. Most of the mentioned albums would not fit in my definition, cause they're not that obscure to me. Here's one that I would consider to be obscure:

Really strong area for me as well.

Witchburner ALL of them are AWESOME
King's Evil - Deletion of Humanoise
Bewitched - Pentagram Prayer
Deathchain - Deathrash Assault
Desaster - Satan's Soldiers Syndicate
Desaster - Hellfire's Dominion
Devastation - Idolatry
Gehennah - All of them!
Hobbs Angel of Death - Hobbs Angel of Death
Hypnosia - Extreme Hatred
Merciless - The Awakening
Morbid Saint - Spectrum of Death
No Return - Machinery
Nokturnel - Fury Unleashed
Num Skull - Ritually Abused
Protector - Leviathan's Desire
Ritual Carnage - Every Nerve Alive
Swordmaster - Postmortem Tales
Usurper - Cryptobeast
Vicious Circle - Cryptic Void
Xentrix - Shattered Existance
Znowhite - Act of God
Zoetrope - A Life of Crime

Best brutal Thrash album, along with "Sacrament - Haunts Of Violence".

Toxik-World Circus

I believe thrash fans are some of the most dedicated in seeking out "obscure" stuff. I personally will buy just about anything if it falls under the thrash label.

Some I love

Hatrix - collisioncoursewithnoplace
Andralls - s/t
Dread - Brace For Destruction
Neurotoxin - Harvest Your Wrath
Warbeast - Krush The Enemy
Thornclad - Coronation Of The Wicked
Repent - Disciple Of Decline

[/quote]Overthrow - Within Suffering[quote]

One of my favorite thrash albums.

Dread - Brace For Destruction

Wow! Didn't expect to see this one the list. Nice. I STILL haven't reviewed this CD for NLTM.

not sure if 'obscure' is the right term but some that rarely get mentioned--and that I really love:
--atrophy (both cds)
--demolition hammer (esp.the 1st two)
--dissarray (the two I have are really good "sludgey thrash')

I can think of a few:

Artillery-pretty much anything in their catalog
Rosicrucian-Silence
Alligator-Cerebral Implosion
Vulture-Easier to Lie
Disciples of Power-Power Trap
Sacrament-Haunts of Violence

Here's mine

I would easily rank Anacrusis - Manic Impressions up with my all time favorites but with the exception of this forum I never can find other people who even know about the band

There's alot of 'em I like and I think are just as good, but 3 off the top of my head:

Vulture- Easier To Lie
Razor- Shotgun Justice
Morbid Saint- Spectrum of Death

I could literally talk about this all day though

I wouldn't quite call that one obscure (it was released on Combat, which was pretty much the thrash oriented record label in the late 1980s/early 1990s), but it's definitely underrated. Completely awesome album! Definitely one of the best thrash albums of the 1990s.

Not as "obscure" as some of the lists already posted, that would be difficult considering the number of professional 'heads on this site. All I can say is that 99% of the population of North & South Carolina have never heard of these. Then again, that ain't saying much.


Rigor Mortis- s/t
Uncle Slam-Say Uncle
Powermad-Absolute Power
Demiricous-One(Hellbound)
Sabbat-History of a Time to Come
Municpal Waste-Hazardous Mutation
Laaz Rockit-Annihilation Principle
Vio-lence - Eternal Nightmare
Hades-Resisting Success
Detente-Recognize No Authority

A few more I thought of:
Accu§er - Dependent Domination (this one will make my Top 5 of this year)
At War - Ordered to Kill
At War - Infidel
Dead & Bloated - You Don't
