Do you not like them or do you not know of them? They probably haven't aged particularly well, but they're one of the "M" bands I remember being semi-popular with people who liked thrash back in the day. At least in the area I grew up in.

Never heard them. To be honest ther was so many Thrash bands around at this time that the scene collapsed upon itself. Even now upon revisiting a few bands (some I still listen to), it is evident that many bands punched above their weight.

I just tried googling them with no luck because, guess what, there have been a crapload of bands named Maelstrom apparently. The band I'm thinking of was around in the late 80s/early 90s had a sound that was a little bit in the ballpark of Faith No More but still thrashy. I remember they also did a country cover of some Metallica song but I can't remember which one.

Ah-ha! I just found them on Rhapsody! They're more thrash/hardcore and less Faith No More than I remembered. It actually may be worth your while to check out a couple of the songs just for the hell of it. The country-fied Metallica cover they do is "For Whom the Bells Tolls" and it's still kind of amusing.

Thanks, I may take a look.

This needs updating. Expect a few new inclusions soon.

I am going to abandon the A-Z format and just post some great tracks and prop them up with reviews, influences etc.

Okay, a storming track from a band that were fairly derivative in the Speed Metal genre who managed to make a compotent Thrash album circa 88.
'No One Answers' has a stupendously good riff that epitomised late 80's American Thrash.

Although they've moved more into the power metal sub-genre. I love Angel Dust's 2 albums from the 80's "Into the Dark Past" and "To Dust You Will Decay".

If anyone wants a couple of great thrash albums. I recommend those two.

Sacred Reich-Surf Nicaragua

Sacred Reich were always one of the more tighter Thrash bands and this track is evident of this. There are numerous time changes and just a little showboating from the excellent drummer Greg Hall. Phil Rind also had a great distinctive voice. First album 'Ignorance' was slightly underproduced but still a great Thrash album. The Surf Nicaragua E.P contained this beauty and a solid version of Sabbath's 'War Pigs'. The American Way broke the band into the mainstream, but unfortunately thrash Metal was coming to the end of it's popularity.
