73. Vio-lence - Eternal Nightmare - (1988)




The second coming of Exodus' Bonded By Blood. This is Neanderthal thrash at its Neanderthaliest. It's also pretty much as brutal as thrash gets without a death metal influence---while still being far more intense than any Sepultura album. The vocals are an "acquired taste" perhaps, but any album this trashy needs a vocalist to match, and he has an odd, percussive cadence that really suits this band's energy. This bad mutha also perfected the gang shout; no band before or since has utilized this lost art so perfectly. Thrash².


Spoiler for I've come for the dead:






The rerelease also comes with a full live album, Live @ Slim's, from a reunion show that comes with a version of "Kill On Command" that just blows the studio version out of the water. Best track they ever laid down IMO. Track that version down, as it's a live album worthy of being released all by itself.

Spoiler for "Kill On Command" live:
