Honestly, it's up there in my books as one of the best metal debuts of all time. Kill Em All is everything that thrash metal is about, and its ferocity and youthful ****itness still gets me hype. It is truly a fantastic album.

^It definitely is.
Now: Industrial metal album I've had for a while but never listened to in full. Sounds decent so far, but it's nowhere near as good as their second album There's Beauty in the Purity of Sadness. Last edited by Unitron; 01-01-2019 at 05:31 PM. |

Isn't it technically the first thrash album ever?

That's seriously debatable. Europe had some bands that I would qualify as thrash before this release. Notably, Venom started in 79 and their brand of extreme was insanely forward-thinking for the time. At the very least, Kill Em All was among the first albums.

If you really wanted to you could say that the distinctions between early speed/power/black/and thrash metal were kinda bull**** cause it was all just post-NWBOHM metal. Metallica, Omen, Exciter, and Bathory were all riffing on the same basic **** so who was first at which specific sub-genre is kind of silly. Even Metallica called themselves power metal when they first started.
