Glad to hear the Power Trip guys have been busy working on new music, whatever shape or form it turns out to be. Long live Power Trip, my favorite memory of Hellfest 2019.
That tent was wild and they played an incredible set 🖤
I could see Chase Mason of Gatecreeper or John Tardy of Obituary doing Powertrip justice. Even the singer of Sick of it All - Lou Koller I think? Would be a good replacement.
Nightmare Logic is an ESSENTIAL modern thrash album no doubt!
Nightmare Logic is easily the best modern thrash album. They were going places. Hopefully the next vocalist will make Riley proud.
Just listened to it which brought me here, it's good and what a pity that Riley died so young like that,he had the world at his feet Damned drugs again. I think they sounded very like classic Sodom.
Reign in Blood had a locked groove on the vinyl as well. That's why the ending to Raining Blood is so abrupt. What happens is the original vinyl record drops into a "locked groove" which infinitely loops that thunder/rain segment. Another reason I agree Reign In Blood is on another level artistically.
It would have been hilarious if Side B of the Reign in Blood cassette tape had consisted of nothing except for those thunder and rain sound effects.
Demolition Hammer - Epidemic of Violence deserves the award for 2nd heaviest and most aggressive thrash album (next to reign of course)
Dont forget Pleasure To Kill by Kreator and Chemical Exposure by Sadus
Yeah, that album is totally nuts, I love it.
I worship Epidemic of Violence. Such a fucking ripper of an album.
Morbid Saint's Spectrum Of Death is THE heaviest thrash record
Gary Holts Guitar sound is really unique. He definitely has his own sound and you know when you hear it....
ANNIHILATOR'S "Alice In Hell" should be on that board somewhere!!
Fun fact about Devastation, when DEATH did their first tour through Texas, Devastation opened up for them. And for the first few shows Deva was putting on a kickass live performance moving around headbanging and what not, but DEATH would stand still like statues. So, their band manager said "Hey yall gotta get more into it, Devastation is outperforming you guys and getting the crowd going" so because of Devastation, DEATH started to move around more and pump the crowd up.
The second devastation album is amazing
Never Believe!
Deliver the suffering!
Saw the Cro-Mags in 1989 ish, Best Wishes tour. Jannus Landing St Pete, FL
I was a skate punk, GBH, Suicidal, Circle Jerks, etc. My buddy played Trapped Under Ice. My hair grew 3 sizes that night.
love this show bigtime. the table and laptop cant replace the board and lisa tho. just a little too easy, but really love this show so thanks :)
Lisa was hot too
To me Hell Awaits will always be the slayer album that was different then all the others and really captured the sound that I loved.
The very first extreme metal album perhaps? Show no Mercy and Hellhammer's Apocalyptic Raids were dark and heavy too ...but Hell Awaits was a lot faster.
@@Morbidous Death metal as an entire genre owes so much to Slayer. They sounded nothing like the "Big Three" at the time. It's only in retrospect that we started to consider them thrash in the same way. In the '80s, Slayer (and Sepultura) may as well have been death metal, they were so much more extreme.
Hell Awaits is very much a gem unto itself. If the reverb wasnt so Dang high up on Tom's Vocals, lol.
I was playing " Awaits" back to back with KREATOR " endless Pain" recently, both 85 releases, both very fresh in the thrash recording history.
They feel very " DIY". The Kreator album states that the guy who recorded it had no clue how to record metal, it lends a charm.
For me it's South of heaven or Seasons.... cheers 🍻
@@andrewhart9310 I totally agree with u here.
The level of my attachment to Powertrip is that I listen to them 2+ hrs, every single fucking day. No one can fill Riley's shoes. But I to listen to Powertrip till my last breath. Rest in Power Brother❤️🧡💚
Razor's Violent Restitution is my personal favorite thrash record of all time and is severely underrated. But I'm glad it got mentioned here even if it isn't up higher
Forbidden - Twisted into Form and Forbidden Evil are the most underrated albums ever. That's fuckin essential..
Best Thrash albums are from the big 4: St. Anger Metallica, Risk and Super Collider Megadeth, Sound of White Noise Anthrax and Diablolus in Musica Slayer. Very best legendary, phenomenal and most of all, UNFORGETTABLE albums that you wanna forget but can't. Thank me later.
Lol
KREATOR endless pain. What a cool record. 1985. German teenagers giving it a hell of a go with no clue or experience in the studio to reference.
I would say it had a big influence upon certain metal genre's that were to come up in Europe much later, but I dont often hear this album referenced as an early influence.
I'm the first to admit I could be wrong, I'm not an expert and dont hold any degree's in any field of study. Check it out and see if it holds water.
Dark Angel - Darkness Descends, Forbidden - Twisted into Form, Anthrax - Fistful of Metal, and Exodus - Bonded by Blood
How can you list essential Thrash (or metal in general) albums and not include Anthrax? I love handle with care and beneath the remains, but more than Among, Disease or even Persistance?. I don't think so... The oversight is a little hard to forgive
Beneath the remains is one of the greatest albums ever released and Ive heard that name dropped far more often than anything anthrax. But then again im a musician and non musicians have waaaaay different taste.
Yea, idk who I'd boot out in the 5 albums (or at least put them in The Rest), but the old school crossover/punky side oughts get some love.
Yeah, no love for crossover?!
One of my fave is Xentrix from England. Probably not essential (but definitively "others"), goddamn they were great. Also Sabbat from England. Just have to give em some love
Yes Xentrix were a seriously good band. Slammer were my fave UK thrash band though, Acid Reign were killer too.
Megadeth - Rust in Peace is legend status. No discussion
Afuckingmen
Released late
As a kid growing up in the 80s , Peace sells made me a life long Megadeth fan
Peace Sells established them fully but Rust was absolutely legendary..so well done.
@Mezzy Mez It's legacy is already set in stone for us. Buy put your shoes in someone who was actually there in the 80s.
1:55:40 Testament wasn't doing well? Their two previous records were The Gathering and The Formation of Damnation, two of their most acclaimed records. Dark Roots Of Earth didn't get the same response as those two
Yeah I also would say that those to are more essential than Dark Roots. Especially The Gathering which was maybe the first really great new thrash album since 91 or so.
Kill em all = early essential. Master = Legend
So excited to hear that there may be some new Power Trip material. But, massive love for Blake on this. Get him back on in the future, knowledgeable, intelligent and pretty funny too.
Thrash Metal after 2000: Violator - Chemical Assault, Warbringer - War Without End, Power Trip - Manifest Decimation/Nightmare Logic. Old school: Slayer, Demoliton Hammer, Sadus, Morbid Saint, Dark Angel, Exodus.
Morbid Saint definitely
My Top 10 Thrash Metal !
1. Metallica "Master Of Puppets" (1986)
2. Slayer "Reign In Blood" (1986)
3. Nuclear Assault "Game Over" (1986)
4. Destruction "Sentence Of Death" (1984) ep
5. Anthrax "Spreading The Disease" (1985)
6. Metal Church "The Dark" (1986)
7. VoiVod "RrrOooAaaRrr" (1986)
8. Motorhead "Motorhead" (1977)
8. Razor "Evil Invaders" (1985)
9. Megadeth "Rust In Peace" (1990)
10. Exodus "Bonded By Blood" (1985)
My Non-Thrash favorites
Rush - Moving Pictures (1981), Van Halen -1984 (1984)
Iron Maiden - Powerslave (1984), Judas Priest - British Steel (1980)
Black Sabbath - Paranoid (1970), Venom - Welcome To Hell (1981)
Danzig - Danzig (1988), Wasp - Wasp (1983)
Awesome vid. Surprised no one tried to put Misfits Earth AD in proto. Modern would have benefited from Skeletonwitch too.
The Accept song 'Fast as a Shark' was definitely proto
I highly recommend Devastation if yall haven't heard them. Good old Texas Thrash Metal! For me though I like their album Signs of Life a little better than Idolatry, but all 3 albums from Deva are badass can't go wrong with either one
Signs Of Life is a beast
Idolatry is one of my favorite thrash albums, the vocals were so different from everything else
Y’all need to shown the list at the end in it’s full so it can be screenshotted
Nice Wraith hat!!!!! Got to catch them in my hometown of Green Bay WI. So amazing!!!
Orion from Metallica, they opened the m72 tour with it...I had tears in my eyes...it was perfect
How did "Handle With Care" make it to the essentials but not "The Legacy" or "The New Order"? 🤔
How did "Dark Roots of the Earth" surpass "The Formation of Damnation"?? Come on guys!! Papa Dunn's early exit had it's consequences.....🤓
That Devastation album, "Idolatry", is crushing. Thank you Blake!
Dark Roots is better than Formation by a Longshot.
@@Wrathofkala By a long shot?!? The artwork and mix, maybe but Formation seems more cohesive and contains 2 live staples. The lyrics to "Rise Up" alone disqualify Dark Roots even though the title track has become a classic. Then again, I'm the dude who chooses "The Legacy" and "The New Order" over "Practice" or "Souls" any day of the week.
The New Order changed my life
I’m glad Sam talked about how RTL and MOP are versions of the same (incredible) record because it’s always bugged me that I never see that take. It’s why RTL is my pick
I think Testament The Gathering should be in there. Ya it was 1999.
Iron Age. Legendary Texas band!
Mortal Sin 80's Thrash Metal from Australia
Seen Power Trip back in 2017 in Indianapolis, Indiana when they opened for Exodus and Obituary
Vio-Lence- Eternal Nightmare
Absolutely essential!
I would say:
Essential Early: besides the mentioned: Anthrax Among the Living, Testament The New Order, Sodom Persecution Mania and Agent Orange
Essential Modern: Evile - Enter the Grave, Suicidal Angels - Divide and Conquer, Warbringer - Waking Into Nightmares, Testament - The Formation of Damnation, Slayer - Christ Illusion
Agree with Sodom especially agent orange it's a classic.
Love the Thrash talk and judging by the length of the video so do you 🤘. For some great modern Slayer worship checkout the album Subtype Zero - The Astral Awakening
Thanx guys, that was fun! \../
Rigor Mortis 1988 A top 10 in my book plus their comeback Slaves to the grave for modern thrash
02:08:10 True! I was lucky enough to catch them live and they were opening for Trivium back in 2018 (Bilbao). Needless to say after their show I left the venue since IDGAF about Trivium in the first place!
Great show as always but I really think there need to be more slots in these genres that have been around for 40 years. There’s just no way to pick only 5 essential Thrash albums before 2000, and super difficult even to narrow it down to 5 modern ones too.
FUCK YEAH...!!
Sending you all Metal, Love,and Peace, from the Moshpit,
From over this side of the pond,
Croydon, London UK...x
🤘😈🤘...x
I'm super late to this,. I'm also 48 and my intro to thrash was Megadeth, Anthrax, etc, but the first one that I really connected to was Testament. They just hit me a little differently than the others.
1980-2000 1.Slayer: Reign in Blood, 2. Megadeth:Peace Sells , 3. Sepultura: Schizophrenia, 4. Sodom : Sign of Evil 5. Metallica: Master of Pups... honourable mentions Pantera, Death Angel, Kreator, Exodus,Annihilator. Fuck forgot about Testament :The Gathering
"IN THE" Sign Of Evil. Don't piss off the Germans EVER!
Blake is also in Eternal Champion right? That band is awesome, I think they are more power metal though
no but the singer from iron age is the singer from eternal champion as well and i believe an old drummer/guitarist from power trip is in eternal champ
@@Thijscube metal archives has Blake listed as a member of Eternal Champion & Power Trip. Blake can be seen playing live with eternal champion on some of their live videos on youtube, but I have seen some new live videos of them but Blake isn't there anymore. Maybe he was in the band temporarily and then left
Back in the eighties noone caredm at least in my area, where the band came from. The only quantifier for the band was its intensity.
Devastation's Idolatry is a masterpiece.
I think Disposable Hero's has got to be the best Metallica song ever written.
agreed - that entire bside. i also argue for the best four sequential songs from Metallica. Damage Inc!
Damage Inc and Dyer's Eve.
Album closer's that pummel the face off the head. The best they did.
If people dont agree, that's fine, just a personal opinion.
Legend : Slayer RIB, Metallica KeA; Essential: Metallica MoP, Megadeth RIP, Exodus BBB, Testament TNO, Death Angel TUV, Overkill FTF, Anthrax STD, Kreator COS, Flotsam and Jetsam : DFTD,, Slayer: SOH, Sodom: AO, Sepultura: BtR
I would change Coma Of Souls to Pleasure To Kill. That album is essential to the development of death metal.
Wow...throw some shade at the UK thrash scene...why not?! Well worth exploring if you haven't looked around in a while. Divine Chaos are definitely worth checking out. You didn't mention Onslaught or Acid Reign or XENTRIX for those old skool, but still going bands.
Or Re-Animator and, who could forget the single greatest thrash band of all time, Lawnmower Deth?
Power From Hell does not get enough recognition as a Proto Black Metal record either and it fits the theme perfectly if you ask me. Fantastic record.
I honestly thought they muted Blayne in post when he was talking about Vektor.
Evil Invaders from Belgium
They got that huge German Thrash Metal Influence
Holy Terror and/or Anthrax should be on the board.
Whats wrong with people Metallica's Lulu should be in the legend spot.
April fool's or something lol
Exodus Slayer Metallica Voivod all opened up for Venom
DARKNESS DESCENDS
I feel like this record and Violent Restitution are like the peak by-the-textbook records in the genre.
I love Sacrifice- Solider of Misfortune. Great fn album.
ABSOLUTELY! SOM is in my top 5 thrash albums! I still have my original tape that has the song title typo "As The World Turns" instead of 'As The World Burns".
Toxic Holocaust Evil Never Dies is a fkn 10, essential record.
I think Blake forgot Formation of Damnation existed.
Dallas/Fort Worth Area here in Oak Cliff, Texas
Machine Head - The Blackening for an old band with a near perfect post 2000 thrash album
Not thrash at all way more groove metal
Noooooo
Kreator is sick and up there for sure. I still consider Exodus as one of the Big 4 not Anthrax.
.... just curious ...why does AGENT STEEL, the Metal band had so many former members ?
Blayne, I'm gonna need that Polish website URL!
Dude, the guitarist from Exodus has a Mighty Boosh shirt on, fuck ya :) that makes me so happy, I sorta adore that show :P
I love slayer but Legend album is Kill em All by metallica as that was the album that kicked of thrash era and made thrash big
awesome
Thrash metal is my shit and I’m also in my late 40’s, and have listened to thrash since Master dropped. Master of Puppets is my second favorite cd of all time & of course Ride the Lightning is a classic, but to me Kill Em All was their true thrashterpiece! Master & RTL both have their share of slower songs but you will not find one on Kill Em All. Give Kill Em All another chance and see if you don’t agree. Great video! 🤘🏼
Absolutely, my thinking also(I'm mid 40's). That album is so fucking rowdy and I love that shit
@@js92css I'm 55. I bought Kill the day it came out. All of us dumped Heavy Metal that day. Kill is the first and True thrash album. How in the hell could it not be?! I love Show No Mercy, and Bonded by Blood, etc., but Kill was so off the hook, it changed everything. The shows in NYC on that tour were just violence. Venom and Slayer shows also had venues smashed apart and fights. That was thrash (theoretically).
@Mezzy Mez haha funny. I’ve forgotten more about thrash metal, than you’ve ever known!
When it comes to Reign in Blood, I would say it's probably in the top 5 most influential metal albums of all time. Right up there with Black Sabbath's debut and Number of the beast by Maiden. Slayer laid down the ground work for all of extreme metal. Virtually every band that came after Slayer in both the death metal genre and black metal genre has named Slayer as an influence. David Vincet from Morbid Angel, Fenriz from Darkthrone, Chuck Schindler from Death, Max Cavalera of Sepultura and many more.
They have also named Kreator and Dark angel. Nathan, it’s just not true what you’re saying. Slayer had a keyrole absolutely but they did not singlehandedly spawn black- and death metal. You got that from some fucked up fanboy who writes for some magazine you tend to read. Just listen to Reign in blood and then Darkness descends and then Pleasure to kill and you tell me which album sounds like death metal the most. Right answer is not Reign in blood.
@@citylights8521 Original Death metal bands were thrash bands when they started. if you check out early demos from Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, Deicide, it is ultra fast thrash in the vein of slayer. with more speed , precision and grunt vocals they evolved into death metal bands. so , I would say that Reign in Blood was more influential on OG DM bands than Seven churches or Scream Bloody Gore RiB is the most influential metal album on bands who birthed death metal
@@dekapitatorr Slayer is one of many bands that influenced death metal. Cannibal corpse for example mentioned Dark angel, Slayer, Sadus, Kreator, Sodom and Death among others as an influence. I can assure you that death metal would’ve happened even without reign in blood, darkness descends etc etc. Repulsion recorded Horrified even before any of those albums were released. But that doesn’t make it a more influential album since it wasn’t released until 89 but the music speaks for itself and it took form without the influence of reign in blood.
To say reign in blood was the only album that spawned death metal is just plain wrong
@@citylights8521 of course it is not only album, but it is the most influential. as huge DA fan, DA dont have bunch of quality riffs tbh, they were just savage same as german bands at the time. same goes for early sadus. Slayer chops and lyrics are the most influential in creating DM. what is early Death other than dirtier, muddier slayer
@@dekapitatorr but dude death metal was evolving before reign in blood. And hell awaits sure was an influence. The scene in sweden with bands like Nihilist, Morbid, Grave, Mephisto and more were all children of Bathory mainly but of course you had Venom, Hellhammer/celtic frost, Kreator, Sodom, Destruction and Slayer in there as well but more so you had the tape trading with bands like Sepultura, Sarcófago, Death, Morbid angel, Repulsion and so on. We’re talking pre-86 here. Post-86 I think we can narrow it down to 3 albums. Leprosy and Beneath the remains were albums that really got the morrisounds sound known and that in itself is a huge part of death metal but the album that really solidified the sound - where you have the grind in there as well - is purely and simply Altars of madness. Yes you hade bands like Carcass, Sarcófago, Napalm death, Terrorizer, Repulsion that were blasting and growling early but Altars really got it out to the masses. End of discussion merry christmas✌️🎅🏻
I just recently discovered the album agent orange by Sodom and it's a masterpiece in my opinion.
Love me some Blayne and all but obviously his wife is where it's really at. Go Blayne!
Ps. Discharge is one of the most influential bands I can think of in music history in relation to their record sales. I wonder what Sam thinks. Morbid Tales is kind of the pinnacle 80s expression of a metal band playing Discharge.
D.R.I. , Crossover
So there is a gap and a blank screen going from 1:23:37 to 1:28:55
I'm not a subscriber but no advertisements came up. Just a blank screen with the logo.
Just forward through it.
"Nightmare Logic" is not only one of the best thrash albums of the 21st century, but easily one of the best heavy metal albums of the 21st century, period.
Kinda wish Havok would've made the modern list simply because "Time is Up" turned me onto the modern thrash revival scene (I was, unfortunately, YEARS late to Municipal Waste and Toxic Holocaust). "Prepare for Attack" is still one of my favorite opening tracks to an album, ever.
Also kinda wish one of Death Angel's 2010's-era albums would've *at least* gotten a mention. Much like how Blayne threw that modern Testament record on there to appease the old-heads while still testifying (pun kind-of intended) to the modern (post-2000) era of thrash: "Relentless Retribution" and "The Dream Calls for Blood" are fucking TERRIFIC modern thrash albums.
I think we need more than one album in "Legend"! It's not even fair to say that only Slayer is a legend because of Reign in Blood. With that being said, how do you not put " Kill 'em All" in early essential!? It was 1983 and it all but started "Thrash" ! No mention of Anthrax, Death Angel, and the one that honestly kinda pissed me off was Testament -The Legacy! This album should have easily been in the top 5 of early essential! All killer No filler! Thrash is supposed to be raw, fast and loud! And just so it's mentioned, Vio-lence - Eternal Nightmare is hands down one of the greatest 80's Thrash albums ever 🤘
If aliens landed in my backyard and they asked me: Give us your money.. and btw, what does bay area thrash sound like?
I would give them a copy of Eternal nightmare. Nothing sounds more bay area than that album
I know right,i have been listening to thrash for a little over a year and there are many bands not mentioned
let's fuckin' go!!!!
LISTENING from wales, europe.🤘
Here is my ranking of the top 25 thrash metal albums released between 1983 and 1991. For the purposes of this exercise, the term 'thrash metal' designates a group of bands that were influenced, directly or indirectly, by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and by American hardcore punk bands. Musically, these bands are characterized by fast, tremolo picking and extensive use of the 2/4 "skank beat" and double bass pedaling. I grant that this definition does not lend itself to a precise demarcation of the genre, so some arbitrariness at the boundaries is inevitable. I have decided that, e.g., Sepultura's _Arise_ (1991) is a thrash album but Pantera's _Cowboys From Hell_ (1990) isn't, on the vague grounds that the latter album has too much "groove" to really count as thrash.
Some people will object that my criteria for ranking are too indeterminate, subjective, and impressionistic to be worth anything. Those people are absolutely right.
1. Slayer, _Reign in Blood_ (1986)
2. Metallica, _Master of Puppets_ (1986)
3. Metallica, _Ride the Lightning_ (1984)
4. Megadeth, _Rust in Peace_ (1990)

10. Sepultura, _Arise_ (1991)
11. Megadeth, _Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good!_ (1985)
12. Slayer, _Hell Awaits_ (1985)
13. Sepultura, _Beneath the Remains_ (1989)
14. Exodus, _Bonded by Blood_ (1985)
15. Testament, _The Legacy_ (1987)

17. Dark Angel, _Darkness Descends_ (1986)
18. Testament, _The New Order_ (1988)

21. Sodom, _Agent Orange_ (1989)
22. Kreator, _Pleasure to Kill_ (1986)
23. Slayer, _Show No Mercy_ (1983)
24. Dark Angel, _Time Does Not Heal_ (1991)
25. Death Angel, _Act III_ (1990)
Honorable Mentions:
Anthrax, _Spreading The Disease_ (1985)
Forbidden, _Twisted Into Form_ (1990)
I have to give a shout out to local Australian band Purenvy, album Redemption.
Atheist - Unquestionable Presence
I know, it's more of a technical death metal record, but... I mention it whenever possible.
THE HAUNTED? WARGASM? DEMOLITION HAMMER?
I also love the idea that the UK isn't a thrash country when we literally have Re-Animator, Lawnmower Deth, Xentrix, Sabbat, Hell, Evile, Onslaught, Acid Reign, Gama Bomb.... Clearly haven't don't the research Blayne doy
Sepultura - Primitive self or Inner future? :p
Merci!
Thanks to be there
How is Kill Em All not mentioned??? Easily the first real thrash record.
The conversation about tapes was cool. I myself just love physical media in general. I think what's really driving the return to physical is more of a practical concern though, and that's that with streaming in general, you don't own anything. Your library is dependent on the whims of the streaming service, the artists, and and their IP lawyers. And that's lead to a backlash. In music, that's been a return to physical (tapes, vinyl, and cd), while with movies it's been a return to piracy.
1 hour 17 minutes in and no mention of Megadeth or Testament yet? This seems more like a "look at how many obscure bands I know" kind of discussion. Side note: I freaking love Fugitive, keep up the great work Blake!
Luke Thomas as sound engineer.
Master of Puppets is perfect!
Riley Gale forever 🖤
Ok.. I did my homework...and Iron Age doesn't really sound like Thrash to me, but then again I haven't made music as good as Power Trip either.
Destruction's infernal overkill.
Don't get me wrong, you can never go wrong with RiP, but my all time favorite megadeth album is Peace Sells. Rust feels closer to a speed metal album while peace feels closer to a traditional thrash sound. I think putting rust up instead of peace is criminal.
@Mezzy Mez never said it was a speed metal album. Peace sells just sounds better imo.
Reign in Blood was the best thrash album of all time. Megadeth Rust in Peace is also a legend. Judas Priest Painkiller is also legend and should be thrash bc it’s too heavy to be metal.
I’ll take Ride over MOP bc there is one weak song on MOP- The thing that should not be is slow and very repetitive. Megadeth Rust in Piece is better than any Metallica album. Sepultura is Thrash/Death in Beneath/Arise.
The essential early list is too thin it must include most of the others at the bottom. And I don’t see the essential early as any better except Rust which should be legend.
Megadeth, Peace Sells!
Unpopular opinions, release from agony is the best destruction record, schizophrenia is the best sepultura record.
Glad Blake brought up violent restitution.
Def missing Sadus chemical exposure and morbid Saint spectrum of death
Spectrum of Death is sick! Assassin is one of my favorite songs of all time.
@@TheMetalGaia the riffs just don’t stop. Their second record is actually really good too. More mid tempo stuff but really heavy
Morbid Saint was badass and I prefer Havok to any modern thrash band.
Coroner deserve more recognition. A tight as fuck band.
