    Always great to see some light shone on the U.K. Thrash Metal scene… & a scene that imo deserves more love… & this list just goes to prove it… as some of my favourite albums of all time are included in this lot. Good to see you as always James🤘🏻

    Good video! I have mostly collected Trip Hop, Hard Rock, Rock, Classical music, Symfonic Metal as in Nightwish, Death Metal on vinyl records but ive started to delve into Thrash lately oh I think ive found another favorite style of metal! Hell yeah Thrash is amazing; only listened to Metallica before when coming to Thrash Metal😅. My flat starting to fill up with Records.

    Great to see Slammer up near the top, but I agree it wouldn't come ahead of your top 3, all fantastic albums! Some other bands debuts that I think would make my top 10, at the expense of Onslaught and Lawnmower Death for sure, but then debatable on the others are D.A.M, Arbitrator, Holosade and Pendemia. Saw the current Xentrix line-up playing that album in full last week, it was awesome.

    Good spotlight there James on the UK thrash bands. The top 4 are definitely of higher quality, although for me Sabbat would be at no.1. I do think as bad as lawnmower Deth, is the album title is pretty cool.

    Nice list here James. For me Sabbat, Slammer and Xentrix are top 3. D.A.M. is one that comes to mind, should be on the list in my opinion. And maybe Hellkrusher's Wasteland, even though it's not pure thrash. Cheers. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

    Excellent video James.
    Some bands/albums that I haven't listened to, so I'll be adding them to my playlist to check out. Sabbat's "History Of A Time To Come" is fantastic, underrated also.
    I agree with the first place, that Xentrix record rules. How I wish to hear "Shattered Existence" & "For Whose Advantage?" for the first time again, I was absolutely mindblown by the (fast) guitarwork. 🤘
    Small recommendation, check out the band Interpol. Just seen them last wednesday in Amsterdam, great indie-rock band from the 2000s. Maybe you already know them. 🙂
    Enjoy the rest of your evening buddy, greetings from Holland. Cheers 👋😎

    Hi James!!! Nice work and cool list of bands/albums.... as you might guess in the 80's i only heard US, German and some Sepultura thrash stuff, but nothing from the UK and that was odd..... don't know why. Now fast forward to a couple of years there in the VC i "discover" most of the band you showed and those records are all pretty cool, hard to get though but worth the listening and trying to add them to the collection..... How about next a German list?? cheers and be well

    Great vid man! I for one always loved UK thrash! I personally would have included Deathwish "At the Edge of Damnation" (although their sophomore effort is better) and D.A.M. "Human Wreckage". Maybe also Cerebral Fix "Life Sucks...and Then You Die" although it's probably more of a grindcore album with crossover influences. I enjoyed the vid, keep it right up! Cheers, Daniel

    I prefer In Search of Sanity by Onslaught which is excellent although others don't think the same. Me too, never heard of Slammer. Never heard of Hydra Vein either, if its like early Slayer might give it a miss. History of a Time to Come is no.1 for me although Dreamweaver by Sabbat is even better. Shattered Existence is ok, I had it on tape when it came out and liked it for a while but not so much now. Not keen on the vocals. For Who's Advantage is ok too by Xentrix. What about Evile - not a big fan myself but pretty well known. Well done James for giving our thrash a mention.

    One band that you missed out on is D.A.M. there from morecambe and they formed in 1985. Debut album is human wreckage. I got to see them when they support Dark angel and nuclear assault back 1989. On the handle with care tour. They blow me away for a support band. Lawnmower deth yes a joke band when there first album came out. But they have got better over the years. Re aminator Seen then with acid reign and nuclear assault in 88. And that was my first metal gig and I was just 17. What away to start off with that being my first gig. Talk about being thrown in the deep end. Acid Reign UKAC - UK Apple core. Seen then twice. And both times I enjoyed. Onslaught power from hell. Most of my friends called them Venom rip offs. Never seen Slammer. But I do have that album and love it. Love the first Sabbat album. But Dream weaver is a much better album. Now I'm sure that you know that after Martin left Sabbat that he formed Skyclad. Love there first album wayward sons of mother earth. Xentrix that album is a master piece.

    Are you aware of the folk/metal band Skyclad? They were formed by Martin Walkyier (& Steve Ramsey - Satan) after Sabbat split. The first two albums are a bit thrashy, you may like them, i like the band any way, so i'm a bit biased. If you already know them, apologies. I can't remember seeing them on any of your videos. take care

      I remember seeing their name in Kerrang a lot back around 1992 but I never got round to checking them out
