Thrash from England...

What are your recommendations for thrash metal from the UK?

I received an email from someone wanting suggestions. So far I've listed:
Xentrix
Re-Animator
Gama Bomb

I also just remembered:
Pariah

Besides the ones you already have listed:

D.A.M.
Broken Bones - Losing Control (their other stuff is more hardcore / punk, but this album is pure thrash / crossover!)
Amnesia
Drunken State (power / thrash)
Slammer
Acid Reign
Blood Money (has a NWOBHM flair in the music as well)
Onslaught
Skyclad
Sabbat
Virus
Toranaga
Deathwish
Cerebral Fix
Hellbastard

Oh yes, I did mention Acid Reign. (Wish I had that CD!)

Skyclad are hardly thrash though.....

Hellbastard....sweet name! LOL

You've obviously not heard their first couple of albums. The Wayward Sons Of Mother Earth sounds more like a Sabbat album than Mourning Has Broken did.

Wha.... Must have overlloked those then. The albums I've heard with Shyclad were folk/prog/metal. The band sounded that way live too....

Yeah, the first few Skyclad albums were more thrashy, with only a few folk influences. It wasn't until their third album I think, Jonah's Ark, that things got properly folky and even then, there was still a thrash edge.

Also, the first band that came in to my mind when seeing this topic was Sabbat. Fantastic band, can't wait to see them this weekend.

I was assuming he was asking about obscure bands.

How many of the bands listed here have had some sort of a mass following or are really well known, Seventh Angel included?

Sabbat was on Noise, and was well known in the metal circuit. Much more so than Seventh Angel...

Yah, I know. I just copied and pasted the bands I listed from a big list I have of thrash bands from all over the world. Sabbat was probably the only one that had any kind of sizeable following from the ones I posted.
