My opinion on death metal doesn't carry much weight, I love metal and punk/hardcore as musical genres but I'm pretty picky when it comes to extreme stuff. A lot of it sounds too similar.
Bruh. One of the best thrash metal songs of all-time.

Demolition Hammer is way better than Morbid Saint. Morbid Saint tried to combine Slayer with Darkness Descends and failed horribly ("Crying for Death" is good though). Epidemic of Violence is death/thrash done right.

So confused... want to commit violence over Morbid Saint hate... but love for Demolition Hammer calms me.

That is pretty damn good, I downloaded it. You know New York is always overshadowed by the Bay area, but they had a lot going on back then.

I think the NYHC influence gave them a bit more meat and a bit least weedly weedly. Even Anthrax (circa Among the Living) had a guitar style that sounded more Cro-Mags than Judas Priest.

And if you only downloaded the one song then go ahead and get Epidemic of Violence. It's easily their best album and is just as solid as that song all the way through.

Yes the NYC was definitely a more hardcore inspired scene with all the crossover thrash bands like Carnivore, the Crumbsuckers and metal inspired hardcore like the Cro mags, while bands like Testament seem much more Diamond Head inspired.

I just happen to be revisiting thrash metal at the moment so I'll give the album a whirl, thanks.

i haven't heard the Crumbsuckers in years, all I can recall is their first album was more hardcore & the second more metal, which makes sense for the time period.

I've never heard of Leeway, and I imagine your familiar with Ludichrist (another NYC crossover thrash outfit) you might also want to check out the straight edge bands if you haven't already (Gorilla Biscuits, Judge ect) Bob's department though, I'm more of a GBH, Amebix kind of guy.

I've only listened to Life of Dreams, but that **** kicks ass. I'm listening to it now.



**** yeah.

I'm not. I'll add them to the list. I've only been getting into more hardcore recently. Around the same time I got into grindcore and powerviolence I started getting into actual hardcore.

I know Gorilla Biscuits gets so much love but I just can't get into them. They're melodic hardcore but I find them neither melodic nor badass. They just bore the **** out of me.

I've heard some Judge and they're alright. GBH is definitely nice, but I'm not big on Amebix.

GBH is good fun, you might like Broken Bones if you like them, as for Ambeix, they're are an aquired taste, but I quite like the Arise album.

The UK isn't the first place I think of when I think of thrash metal, but so far these guys f'n rock. Pretty sure I can hear a NYC influence in there.
