I would second Power Trip and Tempo of the Damned.

For Sodom, I'd go with War and Pieces.

I don't know if Hexen is one of the greatest, but that is a really good record. I also like Evile a lot as well. Dekapitator's record from a few years ago too. I still quite enjoy Municipal Waste as well. And Iron Reagan, while we're at it.

Why does it feel like that album came out so much longer ago than 2004. Normally, you might be like "Man, I can't believe it's already been 10 whole years since that came out" about an album, but this time, I was like "Man, I can't believe it's only been 10 years since System". Really feels like it shoulda been the late 90s or something.

I liked Endgame a lot, but I probably liked Thirteen more. I should revisit Supercollider, but I could not get into when it was released.

Sodom is pretty much the best of the old guards still standing. Megadeth, Kreator, Destruction, Metallica, Slayer, and Exodus all thinned out long ago.

No one's mentioning Death Angel?

Also Accuser, Hexen, Heathen, Artillery, Overkill's Ironbound and Electric Age, Hirax, Exodus, Kreator, Testament, Sodom, Evile...

So my top three would be...

Death Angel - Dream Calls for Blood
Accuser - Diabolic
Overkill - The Electric Age

Even though "Relentless Retribution" and "The Dream Calls for Blood" are obviously superior musically, I've always been partial to "Killing Season" for some reason.

Personally, it's been a year or so since I was blown away by a thrash band I didn't know about. This album is totally worth checking out - Tantara - Based on Evil

Maybe it's because they've been so active since then. Or had a few lineup changes.
