AFAIC Exodus perfectly bridged old and new school metal with their reformed albums and I can't think of any other band, new or old, who can touch what they've done. Even Slayer could only nip at their heels with Christ Illusion.

Bonded by Blood is still the absolute jam btw.

As far as new albums from old school thrashers go, Helstar and Overkill have been the best. Their newer albums are among the best albums from the 2000's, they keep what made them so awesome in the 80's while keeping things fresh.

Seriously, thrash in the current century doesn't get better than this:

With that said, I do really like Vektor and Exodus' newer albums are pretty decent. Neither can compete with the aforementioned bands though.

I really like Christ Illusion too

Now that I think of it I was jamming this song really ****ing hard back when I was still a neo-con twat. Not entirely sure how I reconciled this with my politics but I know full well that I only cared about just how hard this killed.

This whole album is a blast. Still power metal, but with a fun Ozzy Osbourne-esque aesthetic to it (Ultimate Sin-era)

You were a neocon? At what age?

Pure, unadulterated black metal weirdness. Sounds like the album cover looks.

Generally not too big of a power metal fan, but that sounds pretty good. May check out more of them at some point.

That 8-string bass that opens this song. So good and so menacingly heavy.

DD Verni is my favorite thrash bass player.
