Thrash metal collection of all current bands with a huge fixation on fast riffs, white trainer shoes and old band shirts. The awesome part is how dedicated these bands are in capturing a “vintage” sound and often tightening it up with modern production. Lots of moshability and lots of fun. Bands range from the Bay Area to the UK to Brasil.

((((1)))) (FCC “fucked” sung once). Youthful, spiraling, drum laden thrash. Lots of guitar acrobatics.
(((((2))))) Battering, gallopy mosh mayhem. Clichéd as hell but awesome nonetheless.
((((((3)))))) D.R.I. worship with a “party thrash manifesto”. Great chorus.
(((((4))))) More low end, axe swinging’ Possessed/early Death inspired straddling the thin line between Death Metal and ultra Thrash Metal.
((((5)))) Acoustic intro then big ‘ol riff – that says “you’re gonna get your ass kicked!” and you do! Vocals could be a ‘lil better, though.
((((6)))) Hammering, heavy slightly tech-thrash mixing Death Angel, Kreator & Death.
(((((7))))) Fast & aggressive as fuck. Huge Slayer/Sodom inspired attack.
(((8))) WAY TOO MANY FCCs – AVOID!
(((((9)))))) Straight up mosh n’ beer chaos with a more than slight Tankard/Wehrmacht fixation.
(((10))) Raw speed metal
