Overkill were a fun band with a punk attitude and Exodus unfortunately suffered through line up changes.

Kreator are a decent band though and sound unlike anyone else, which is no mean feat.

First Death Angel album though is a classic Urbs Still sounds good today and full of attitude and fire.
I don't think AJFA is trash, but I never understood the fascination with it. For me their first three were better.

Voivod is fantastic and easily the best proggy/techy thrash act - Coroner and Artillery were decent too. And there's a weirdo German band called Mekong Delta which actually managed to do the classical/thrash thing properly.


Here's their version of Mussorgsky's Night on the Bare Mountain.


And one of their early songs.
