As you may have noticed, I'm lacking some really important albums from Slayer, Sepultura, Megadeth and Metallica. It's not that I haven't heard them, it's just that I pretty much overdosed on these releases during my formative years and don't have much of a desire to buy the physical albums.

Ultimatum
The Moshketeers
Vengeance Rising
Deliverance
Believer
Temple of Blood
Accuser
Tankard

Boarders
Prowler
Reactory
Rusted Brain
Possessor
Flotsam & Jetsam
Battlecross
Xentrix

Can't tell you much that you haven't already said or that Ult hasn't already put down!
The rest of Revocations discography is pretty good. Seventh Angel is top notch, and their "sister" band Detritus is some of my favorite thrash, although their best album is hard to come by and expensive. Maybe Solstice, although their on the rougher side of thrash, more intensity with less emphasis on being catchy.

Desaster
Usurper
Scythe
Nocturnal Fear
Erazor

HAHA, I was just looking through your list and man I remember when I was just all "THRASHHHH" That's over and I now I just listen to a few goods band. But here's some suggestions anyway. Also I think it's cool you got Absu!

Well, off to YouTube!

Thanks for the suggestions!

Devastation - Signs of Life
Devastation - Idolatry
Heathen - Breaking the Silence
Obliveon - From This Day Forward
Onslaught - In Search of Sanity
Overthrow - Within Suffering
Sacrifice - Forward to Termination
Testament - Practice What You Preach
Testament - Souls of Black
Torture Squad - Pandemonium
Whiplash - Power and Pain
Whiplash - Ticket to Mayhem

Oh yeah. I'm definitely lacking death/thrash.

And I've been looking for Seventh Angel's "Lament for the Weary" forever. I'd love to find one below $50.

If you want death/thrash, you must check out the Torture Squad album I listed.

I'm just now getting into Absu. "Tara" absolutely blew me away.   

Can't recommend Accuser's latest, Diabolic, enough. Props to ult on that. It's making my top 10.

I've been hearing great things about it all year, gonna have to check this out.

Off the top of my head, I see these great albums missing...
Infernäl Mäjesty - None Shall Defy
Détente - Recognize No Authority
The Crown - Deathrace King
Nuclear Assault - Survive
Cryptic Slaughter - Money Talks
Holy Moses - Queen of Siam
Holy Moses - Finished with the Dogs
Holy Moses - Terminal Terror
Holy Moses - Reborn Dogs
Nasty Savage - Indulgence
Deathchain - Deadmeat Disciples
Possessed - Seven Churches
Carnivore - Retaliation
Wehrmacht - Biermächt
Destruction - Infernal Overkill

...an pretty much any Slayer aside from Reign. I'm guessing the reason you only have the one is a lyrical thing.

Cyclone, my friend. My top thrash band. But good luck finding Inferior to None; it sells in bootleg form on ebay from 50 and up. Kickass album full of energy and very memorable.

Nasty Savage is a great suggestion.

I'm gonna echo Required Fields' Sacrifice and add in their Soldiers of Misfortune album.

Great collection!  But you need ....

TEMPLE OF BLOOD - Overlord
BRAINICIDE - demo
TARGET - both albums
INTRUDER - Psycho Savant
FLOTSAM AND JETSAM - No Place for Disgrace
FORBIDDEN - Forbidden Evil
HELSTAR - A Distant Thunder
SADUS - A Vision of Misery
DELIVERANCE - Weapons of our Warfare
OVERKILL - Taking Over
IMMACULATE - Atheist Crusade
WATCHTOWER - Energetic Disassembly
FATES WARNING - No Exit
ASPID - (whatever that album is called)
HAVE MERCY -Armageddon Descends
CYNIC - all demos
DAMNABILITY - all their demos
DESTRUCTION - Cracked Brain

That's not a poor collection at all.

I don't have anything to add, but why'd you skip Practise What You Preach by Testament?

Did anybody suggest Atrophy "Violent By Nature" or Sadus "A Vision of Misery" yet? If not, consider them suggested.

Torture-Storm Alert
Tornado-Hellsinki Amsterdamn
Dr.Know -Wreckage in Flesh
Ulysses Siren-above the ashes
Violent Playground-Thrashin' Blues
Sindrome
Nuclear Simphony
Exhorder-Slaughter in the Vatican
Demolition Hammer

I didn't see it, so:

Megadeth: Killing Is My Business. . .And Business Is Good.

It's weird because I'm getting better suggestions than I did from Thrash Unlimited.

I honestly don't know. From some, I heard it was mediocre, but from others, a masterpiece. I'm on a big Testament kick lately, so maybe it will result in a purchase.

I'll settle the debate for you: Practice What You Preach is a masterpiece.

Also, you should definitely grab Testament's The Gathering. One of their best.
