Sunn O))) - Monoliths & Dimensions (2009)

As many already know, Sunn O))) are an infamous Drone Doom band that, in my opinion, are misunderstood by many. About all that needs to be said is that if you get their music, it's some of the most compelling, dark and evil shit out there. For newcomers to this band or for any who are going to pass this up, I beg you to at least listen to "Big Church" by far my favorite on here.

Track Listing:

1.	Aghartha	17:34
2.	Big Church (Megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért)	09:43
3.	Hunting & Gathering (Cydonia)	10:02
4.	Alice	16:21

Blasphemic Cruelty - Devil's Mayhem (2008)

I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled across this. This is the sole release so far from this Death/Thrash Metal band who take influence from classic thrash, Morbid Angel, and Angelcorpse.

Track Listing:

1.	Possessed Commands	03:41
2.	Poisoned Lust	06:15
3.	Devil's Mayhem	04:44

Bloodbath (Ser) - Toxic Death [EP] (1990)

Since Reda's uploading all this thrash I thought I'd contribute a bit. I usually don't like thrash unless it's raw/aggressive as fuck and heavier than a good chunk of death metal. This Bloodbath (not to be confused with the borderline shitty one from Sweden) put out this solid EP before going really meh and boring with their next release Traumatic Memories. What you'll find here are aggressive thrash riffs much like early Sepultura and Slayer, raspy death metal vocals and an awesome raw production. If you're in the same boat as me (only liking the most raw and aggressive thrash) pick this up.

Track Listing:

1.	Toxic Death	05:46
2.	Suicidal Future	04:38
3.	Nuclear Execution	03:56
4.	Bloodbath	03:55
5.	Sadistic Necrophiliac	05:15
6.	Empire Of Hate	04:43

Mistress of the Dead - I Know Her Face From The Tombstone (2009)

This is some exquisite funeral doom here; Mistress of the Dead is an obscure cult band who on this album play a mix of saddened funeral doom and ambient to produce one of the more intriguing and moving albums I've heard this year. There is also quite a variety of sound themes here, after the somber journey of the first track the second one takes you to a place darker than that described in Catacomb's music (no exaggeration, I was pleasantly surprised) for example. I would only recommend this album to seasoned funeral doom fans.

Track Listing:

1.	I Know Her Face from the Tombstone	16:51
2.	Embracing Silent Death	14:26
3.	Only Ashes and Remembrance	15:09
4.	Tragical Smell of Grave Flowers (...is weeping for Your death...)	19:03

The music speaks for itself on this album. You will bang your fucking head for close to 44 minutes guaranteed. This is yet another masterpiece that's always overlooked. Excellent production and mind blowing riffage. Enjoy.

Rammer - Cancer (2006)

1.	Uprising of Death	03:43
2.	Dataslut	03:30
3.	Eat Your Guts	03:11
4.	Rammer	03:30
5.	From Russia...	05:07
6.	Butcher	03:44
7.	Living Torment	03:47
8.	Fleshstorm	03:03
9.	Rust & Paranoia	02:41
10.	Astral Violence	03:19
11.	Cancer	05:27
Total playing time		41:07

Rammer manage to pull off an awesome sound despite the production on this debut. Thrashy, groovy, melodic but not too generic, a purely balanced sound that doesn't get boring or go over the top. The vocals sound something like later Schmier/Angelripper. This is very solid, give it a listen.

Overkill - Horrorscope (1991)

1.	Coma	05:23
2.	Infectious	04:04
3.	Blood Money	04:08
4.	Thanx for Nothin'	04:07
5.	Bare Bones	04:53
6.	Horrorscope	05:49
7.	New Machine	05:18
8.	Frankenstein (Edgar Winter cover)	03:29
9.	Live Young, Die Free	04:12
10.	Nice Day... For a Funeral	06:17
11.	Soulitude	05:26
Total playing time		53:06

Overrated? No way, this remains one of the greatest thrash bands of all times, and this was their peak. Horrorscope isn't the lightning fast kind of thrash, the songs have a lot of different tempos and beats (especially towards the middle, tracks 5-8), the riffs just keep coming, and almost every song has a little part that screams "PLAY THAT AGAIN". And unlike a lot of other typical thrash metal vocalists, Blitz can actually sing, and it fits the music perfectly. The first time I listened to this I thought thrash couldn't get any better. Overkill put this out after 4 great full lengths, all of which should be part of everybody's thrash collection.

Wargasm - Why Play Around? (1988)

Track Listings :

1.	Wasteland	03:59
2.	Revenge	07:02
3.	Bullets & Blades	03:53
4.	Undead	06:29
5.	Merritt's Girlfriend	00:48
6.	Sudden Death	05:00
7.	Wargasm	09:17
8.	Le Coucou	02:22
9.	Humanoid	04:49
Total playing time		43:39

Wargasm from Boston Massachusetts is another amazing band that somehow goes completely unnoticed in today's thrash scene. In fact, I wonder how this album in particular didn't outsell Reign in Blood or Master of Puppets; because honestly, Wargasm fucking own both Slayer and Metallica (imo). This album I recommend for all thrash lovers who like sheer power and catchiness in their thrash. One of the most underrated albums in thrash history. This is guaranteed to blow your mind.

Razor - Shotgun Justice (1991)

1. Miami 03:15 2. United by Hatred 02:42 3. Violence Condoned 02:22 4. Electric Torture 02:49 5. Meaning of Pain 03:10 6. Stabbed in the Back 02:17 7. Shotgun Justice 03:16 8. Parricide 02:45 9. American Luck 02:33 10. Brass Knuckles 03:15 11. Burning Bridges 02:20 12. Concussion 02:25 13. Cranial Stomp 02:31 14. The Pugilist 03:45 Total playing time 39:25

All of Razor's discography, including all 8 full lengths is very good to excellent thrash. Shotgun Justice is just what I thought would be the best taste of this amazing Canadian outfit. Each and every song have several riffs that make you wonder how thrash guitarists manage to write such greatness. Lots of energy, speed and aggressiveness. Razor up your ass!!

Atrophy - Socialized Hate (1988)

Track Listings :

1.	Chemical Dependency	04:07
2.	Killing Machine	03:47
3.	Matter of Attitude	03:25
4.	Preacher, Preacher	04:17
5.	Beer Bong	02:06
6.	Socialized Hate	05:03
7.	Best Defense	03:49
8.	Product of the Past	03:50
9.	Rest In Pieces	04:40
10.	Urban Decay	03:31
Total playing time		38:35

This album is without a doubt one of the meanest US thrash records that came out in the late 80's. Loads of fast riffs and faster leads/solos, and the vocals are like something between Sadus and Coroner. Solid, sincere thrash yet very underrated. Do you like thrash? I suggest you give this a listen even if the answer is no.

Peste Noire - Ballade cuntre lo Anemi Francor (2009)

I may be biased (or unreliable in this recommendation) since this is the first Peste Noire album I have heard, but I will say this much: it's mastery of black metal and it blew me away.

Track Listing:

1.	Neire Peste	01:58
2.	La Mesniee Mordrissoire	06:07
3.	Ballade Cuntre les Anemis de la France - de François Villon	06:29	[view lyrics]

This is a part of the "elite" black metal albums that have come out this year along with others like the new efforts from Peste Noir, Fen, and Drowning the Light. Blut aus Nord bring an interesting mix of progressiveness, hints of melody, and black metal to the table for a great listen.

It has recently come to my attention that track 9 is corrupt, so here is a separate download of track 9 by itself, if it doesn't work then I have failed you all (or mediafire has).

Nanda Devi - Fifth Season (2009)

This release went relatively unnoticed in this year's earlier releases, but it caught my ear just enough for me to want to download it for a closer listen. Nanda Devi are an American outfit who play a style of atmospheric sludge akin to early Isis, Pelican, and perhaps Neurosis. This album, their debut, did not fail in inducing fierce headbanging from its dense atmosphere and powerful rhythms and riffing.

Track Listing:

1.	The Circumpolar Current	06:18
2.	Untitled	02:38
3.	Abandoned by the Sun	10:10
4.	Untitled	01:46
5.	Blood and Iron	06:59
6.	La Brea	04:03
7.	Untitled	02:08
8.	Fifth Season	05:57
Total playing time		39:59
