Awesome list Scott, and I know every one of them. Since the idea is to turn people on to new bands they may not know of here is a few more to consider for part 2 or for those reading the comments looking for recommendations... Liege Lord - Master Control, Sentinel Beast - Depths Of Death, Attacker - Battle At Helms Deep, Abattoir - Vicious Attack, Anthem - Tightrope, Apocalypse - Self-titled, Apocrypha - The Eyes Of Time, E-X-E - Stricken By Might, Zoetrope - Amnesty, Wrathchild America - Climbin' The Walls, Heretic - Breaking Point, Helstar - A Distant Thunder, Laaz Rockit - Annihilation Principle, Blessed Death - Kill Or Be Killed, CJSS - Praise The Loud. Some may refer CJSS and Apocrypha as shred metal but sounds like good old thrash to me. I grew up listening to this music and was there to see these bands releasing these albums. Good stuff!
Loved this .....one of those rabbit holes that are never ending....So much great stuff on par with the big bands regardless of what the masses think. cheers Brother
EXACTLY! I get so tired of the Metallica vs. Megadeth debate, or the which bands should and shouldn't be in the "Big Four." There are literally THOUSANDS of killer thrash and speed metal bands to check out and enjoy. WalMart isn't the only place to buy music. Haha.
Tribulation is indeed from Sweden. I live not to far away from their hometown. Forsberg the drummer was one of the biggest tape traders in Sweden back in the day. Underrated band.
Great video Scott. This is what I love.... finding out about bands I know nothing about. Please do a video about some obscure US power metal bands like Metal Church. Keep spreading the word....
It has been awhile since I listen to Seventh Angel. You are the reason why I love them, Scott. I never thought a band would combine Thrash and Doom Metal into one. Lament for the Weary is one of my favorites. Cool video by the way!
Great video! I've have noticed that as well when I post a thrash band that is no top tier or the big 4. Crickets. That's why I've been showing more of the new or obscure stuff on my RUclips channel
Great video as always Scott. Very nice to see my fellow Norwegians in Equinox got a place here. Love that album, from '89. Held that Tribulation in my hands in a shop back in the days, but because of limited funds, it didn't end up in my collection. Faith Or Fear is on my list. Cheers. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks for sharing out about these releases. A little more than half of them were unknown to me, the others I own and greatly appreciate. I’ve got some searching to do, again. Love the Watchtower shirt!
Great upload! Listing these down and then go on a hunt. I have those Hades vinyls too, great band. Artch are a great Norwegian thrash band, Another return..is brilliant
You always show some great obscure Thrash Scott! Heard of Equinox and Faith or Fear. That Thresher singer reminds me of Wrathchild America! Awesome stuff!
Thanks Brother George. Thrash has long been one of my favorite styles of metal. I find it amusing to see younger metal fans now saying some of these thrash bands aren't heavy enough to be "metal." LOL!
Great video Scott. I knew of at least 3/4 of those bands because of you alone! I'll have to check out some of three bands. I too have the Detritus Perpetual Defiance on vinyl from both labels. That Thresher Totally Possessed album is hard to find for sure
Hi Scott!!! Awesome video and so glad to see you showing more thrash band than the usual suspects and trying to discover "newer" or lesser known groups from back in the day or from recent years...... I have hear some you showed like Faith or Fear, Holy Moses and At War, all great recommendations and should be killer additions to any cool thrash collection, btw you're right about UK bands, they have an unique sound. I will be trying to check other that i wan't aware like Thresher, Entropy, Tension, Witchhammer or Detritus..... cheers and be well
Apocalypse-Apocalypse (1988) Accuser-Who Dominates Who? (1989) Visitor-Visitor (1993) These are my favorite albums by not so well-known thrash metal bands.
Did you pick up the Accuser CD Box Set? The remastering is incredible! This site also have Accuser vinyl for $8 - $12 each. boonesoverstock.com/search?q=accuser
I am always interested in seeing which metal bands you hold in high regard Scott. I know a little about Thrash. But I will use this one to learn a little more. Be back later on to recap. Great to see you again. A Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family~ Rob/Boston
Great list of not so much known Thrash bands! The vocalist of School Of Violence, Karl Agell was the vocalist on C.O.C.s "Blind" album, love his voice. Tension´s mainman Tom Gattis was in Deuce with Marty Friedman before and after Tension broke up he released three fantastic albums with Wardog and one under the name Ballistic. Poltergeist still sound the same, their new stuff is really good! Their (still) singer was on Destruction´s "Cracked Brain" album in 1990. I recorded two albums at Andy Classen´s studio, ex husband and ex guitar player for Holy Moses. We played with Moses a lot in the 90s and 2000s.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANCE!!!🎼🎸🥁🤘💀😎 CAN'T WAIT FOR PART 2!!!👊🤘💀LOVE THAT DETRITUS VINYL!!! WHICH IS "AT WAR" ALBUM IS BEST? 👊 KILLER VIDEO SCOTT!!!👍 HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING FROM BELIEVER? NOW THEY ARE KILLER!!!
Morbid Saint - Spectrum Of Death is a 💎. Destruction System and Swallowed By Hell rule as well. Xentrix - For Whose Advantage? and Artillery - By Inheritance are a couple more 💎🤘🏻Finally on the Crossover side of things Uncle Slam - Say Uncle as well as their second album Will Work For Food are fantastic.💎🤘🏻
All good examples of thrash that most people ignore in favor of the same-old-same-old. Xentrix have released a couple great albums in recent years as well. I played in a band with former Uncle Slam bass player Angelo Espino.
Faith or Fear is a blast from the past. I saw them open for Morbid Angel and then a couple months later they opened for Nuclear Assault (Summer 1990). Both shows were at the Trocadero in Philly.
I love finding out about new thrash bands from the golden era’s of metal. I’ve made it a goal to find obscure titles on vinyl, cassette and cd. Have you ever heard of a thrash band called Deities? Have an album of theirs on tape. Seems just like some kids at the time ha. They’re pretty good.
Yup, I agree same ole bands. I love the obscure stuff. I have a couple of Hades. Gammacide killer release. I have that Faith or Fear. Looks isn't everything ha ha! I have that Detritus - Myth. I prefer Holy Moses over Arch Enemy with the same vocal styles. I have those At War re-issues. Nice list.
That would have been a great bill, Gammacide and Pantera. You will probably dig Gammacide's guitar player's new band Iron Jaw. ruclips.net/video/V9kW3dY2nnY/видео.html
School of Violence had Karl Agell on vocals who went on to sing on one of C.O.C’s best albums Blind. But I’m sure you knew that. We the People is a great album also.
Yeah, so many fantastic thrash/speed bands and ppl just keep talking about the same 10 or so bands over and over, just like you said. Either from the 80s, like Atrophy, Heathen, Re-Animator, or more recent like Vektor, Demoniac, Ripper. It's practically impossible and pointless to keep naming bands, there are dozens that play superb thrash/speed metal, and sadly very few ppl know them... Which is why you need to do more videos like this one - I learned a couple of new (to me) bands here myself
Those are some great hidden gems! Poltergeist (the singer was on Destructions Cracked Brain), Entropy and Holy Moses are especially awesome! And thanks for giving Equinox their well deserved attention! Here in Norway thrash wasn't a big deal unfortunately, and Equinox was pretty much leader of the (tiny) pack. Maybe I can pick your brain regarding a conundrum I've "struggled" with for 30 + years. Are you familiar with this? ruclips.net/video/4fXWefSDBng/видео.html
That Faith or Fear album is really generic and came out when the thrash scene was completely saturated, it’s not surprising that the band didn’t make a bigger splash.
Not a fan? To each his own, right? We can't all like the same things. I didn't say it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, just a good thrash album that people should check out. Cheers.
@@nolifetilmetal1 I'm sure it's great Scott. I'm questioning the term "Clown of Thorns" is it a dig at Jesus Christ? I don't know why they chose that title. Was it to mock Christ? They wouldn't be the first to do that I'm sure you're aware. Anyway, I love metal, or I wouldn't even be watching your channel if I didn't. I like all kinds of music like you do. I'm questioning what the band meant by the title ONLY. Take care I like your channel and the metal round table. Keep rockin' bro.

Honestly you cannot go wrong with any of the three full-length At War albums. Believer? Of course! I love Believer. I have actually worked on the layouts for all five reissues over the past couple years. Been a favorite of mine for decades. Wish they would finish the songs they started a few years ago.

@@kajlofven9656 Thank you for confirming. Cheers.
Great video, I love seeing the more obscure bands.
Thank you. Will probably do a follow-up video with more.
Cool.
Thanks for sharing.
🤘🏻
Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers.
Greetings Scott their are so many great Thrash lps from every Decade good stuff bro.
No doubt! I could probably do 20 videos like this easy. And this was just stuff from the late 80's and early 1990's.
@@nolifetilmetal1 i could do the same amount of videos myself got heaps of thrash and speed plus also im always trying 2 add more into my collection 😊
Love, love, love Violent Playground! Remember finding them and Rigor Mortis back in the day they debuted.
Great video Scott. This is what I love.... finding out about bands I know nothing about. Please do a video about some obscure US power metal bands like Metal Church. Keep spreading the word....
Sounds like a good idea to me. Cheers.

Faith or Fear are quite good. Unfortunately they hit the scene a tad too late and gave up for a while.
Thanks for sharing out about these releases. A little more than half of them were unknown to me, the others I own and greatly appreciate. I’ve got some searching to do, again. Love the Watchtower shirt!
Thanks brother. Hope you can find some of these gems. I doubt you will dislike any of them. Cheers.
thanks for sharing Scott! some killer albums in here
Thank you. As I stated, there are literally thousands of killer thrash albums outside of the 10-12 bands usually discussed. Cheers.
Great upload! Listing these down and then go on a hunt. I have those Hades vinyls too, great band.
Artch are a great Norwegian thrash band, Another return..is brilliant
Yes, I have both Artch albums on CD and one of them on vinyl as well. They remind me of Metal Church. Great band.
@ me too man, I have Another return on op vinyl, and also both on cd. Great vocals by Hawk
Always much appreciated Scott🤘🤘🤘✌️
Cheers bro.

Love lists like this, get to discover bands I've never heard of. That Gammacide rocks, spin it often. and Thresher and Detritus rules!
Thank you brother Jim. Yes, Gammacide, Thresher and Detritus all rule!
Great video Scott. I knew of at least 3/4 of those bands because of you alone! I'll have to check out some of three bands. I too have the Detritus Perpetual Defiance on vinyl from both labels. That Thresher Totally Possessed album is hard to find for sure
Do you own the Thresher - Here I Am album? It too is fantastic!
@nolifetilmetal1 I do own that on CD. I enjoyed that one

Happy Thanksgiving Brother Rob. I always appreciate your comments. You should really check out Hades. They are East Coast legends.
@@nolifetilmetal1 I will definitely do so Scotty. Thank you for the tip~
Good video again Scott. I need to check some out, some others like HADES for exemple i know and like. Super.
Love Hades! I am surprised how many people DON'T know of them. They should be more well known.
Nice list!👌

lol, I knew this upload would cost me money…just ordered Hades - resisting success reissue on Forrest green vinyl (175 copies) to go with my op.
