19. High On Fire - Death Is this Communion - (2007)

20. Kiss Destroyer 1976


The first Kiss album I bought and this one had Bob Ezrin as producer and he made the band sound cleaner, louder and more bombastic than ever before. This is a must for anybody listening to Kiss, as they wouldn't get this loud again until the 1980s. **** just check out "God of Thunder".

21. Metal Church - Metal Church

One of the earlier thrash metal albums, and "...a formative influence on the thrash metal subgenre,
melding the aesthetics of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and American hard rock with
incredibly tight musicianship and piercingly screeched vocals." This was their debut album
that would land them a big label contract, and cement them into metal history.

26. Demolition Hammer - Epidemic of Violence [1992]



Absolutely ferocious NY thrash metal with remarkable control and precision, like a jackhammer to the ear drums or a rabid dog attack. Epidemic of Violence saw the band move forward with greater focus and more balanced production. Although quite similar in style to their debut Torture Existence, also a classic, EOV really jacks the intensity up a full notch. Disgustingly feral vocals, interesting and uniquely descriptive lyrics (see Pyroclastic Annihilation), immensely heavy instrumentation backed by tight balanced production, and some of the cleanest and most precise percussion I've ever heard at this tempo. The songs are aggressive, merciless, and often quite catchy.
