Old Thrash Metal

[Svartsinn]

Just wondering if some of you guys in here
are in possession of some old Thrash Metal
stuff and perhaps wants to get rid of it
(not likely though, but I'm asking anyway)
Cd or LP

We're talking stuff like:

- Deathrow (Riders Of Doom and Life Beyond)
- Nuclear Assault (Survive and Handle With Care)
- Dark Angel (Time Does Not Heal and We have Arrived)
- Flotsam & Jetsam (Doomsday For The Deceiver)
- Xentrix (Shattered Existance and For Who's Advantage?)
- Agent Steel (Skeptics Apocalypse)
- Watchtower (Energetic Disassembly, Control And Resistance)

Most of these are ranging from hard to very difficult to find (at least the original releases) There are alot more, but these are on the no.1 wish list!

I would also like some recommondation from you who have a lot of Thrash or heard thrash that is similar to the bands above. I've got a lot too, but never enough is seems. I've been collecting other kind of Metal for a while now, but I'm back on thrash again.

Ok, let the thread begin

Yeaah! Possessed by thrash I am!!
I was wondrring if Watchtowers Control And Resistance is worth of buying... Please describe it?
Some true thrashmetal recommedations: Messiah, Minotaur, Necronomicon, Onslaught, Sacrifice, Korzus, Taurus, Lobotomia.. the list is endless... but it sems that the style is not exately same like in you list... Your is more like speed metal.... Well.. anyway good stuff!

 

[Svartsinn]

Well, I like technically performed thrash as well as you can see...

Both Watchtower albums are by all means must haves, with no time needed to think about it! What Can I say, high pitched vocals and very technical thrash metal. To my information they are the first really technical Thrash act out there. BUY!

 

[Svartsinn]

By the way, thanks for your rec. kind sir. Could you perhaps describe the style of these bands? Any of them technical?

 

[anthares]

Ok... I think I like more bad played thrash... If you are into tecnic stuff I recommend you not to get involved with bands like Necronomicon....
Onslaught might be more technical i their thrid album (I havent heard it)
Sacrifice is more technical in their 3rd and 4th albums, two first are more staright thrash ála Slayer etc...
You mentioned Deathrow, hopefully you have their third album Deception Ignored? Its technical....
Toxik, Sadus... check them out too...

I try to get hold on that Watchtower album...
Cheers!

 

[Svartsinn]

Yes I have Deception Ignored and Raging Steel, two very different albums indeed. (In the list I only mention the cd's I don't have of the bands)

Well, I like Agent Steel also - not really technical, but still very good...so there you have it. I guess my taste in music is rather Skitzo.

Masters of metal, agents of steel!!!

Yeah! Agent Steel rules! Somebody once said that it is like Iron Maiden on speed... that is quite fitting! I was lucky to see them couple of years ago in Germany... BTW, you know they had to change their name to Order Of Illuminati?

 

[Svartsinn]

Order of illuminati? No didn't know that...now recently or? They Released an album in 2001 under the name Agent Steel did they not? Hmmm, some other band called Agent Steel or was there some other stupid reason?

 

[anthares]

Yes! The reason is stupid: Former vocalist John Cyriis threated to sue the band for using the name. Hmm.. you should check more info from somewhere... I dont remember the URL right now...
And who the hell could other band name the band as Agent Steel? Its quite unique...

 

[Svartsinn]

Absolutely agree!

Anyways...I was reading a very good page on the Internet just now called the BNR-metal pages. A sort of Metal ensyclopedia. They have lots of info on old and new bands, except they haven't updated much after early 2001 releases. Anyways, it's old thrash I'm looking for, they don't make it as good as before!

Ever heard of Sieges Even from Germany? Same style as Watchtower on the early stuff.

Lots of info on:http://welcome.to/bnrmetal

I have a cassette Promo Only of "Time Does not Heal" (not really willing to get rid of it, I can make a copy or you can tempt me with a trade )
And I also have Control and Resistance. This is a German edition, but I'm not sure right which label made it (I'm at work and don't have that CD with me right now) I think you should be able to get a hold on this......

 

[Metalion]

I'm not getting rid of my albums but most of this you can pick up quite easily at the Metal market.... at least the vinyls...

 

[Svartsinn]

Metalion: Takker og bukker...jeg prøvde i fjor, fant noe av det jeg leita etter - men altså ikke disse som ble nevnt her. Prøver selvfølgelig igjen i år.

hehe, norwegian spamming!

Rosk:

Thanks for your kindness, I'm really not a bog fan of cassettes anymore...and I'm not a big fan of copies either! Still, thanks alot!
