...Thrashman, if you're in the mood for Florida DM, don't miss this album. I know I recommended it before, but the thread might have disappeared.

Memoriam - Resistance
This sounds awesome!

BTW that is a picture of a partially fossilized human shit dating to the Viking occupation of York. I think it's a real shame that they stopped having metal festivals for so many centuries afterwards.

no problem mate

I can relate to Thrashman's experience, so it makes total sense to me why he'd stick with his top ten list - and even more so in thrash, which admittedly isn't my favorite thing to begin with, but hasn't seemed to be awash in creative productivity in the way recent DM has. I've enjoyed more 80s and 90s thrash in the last three days than I have in the past couple years. Taste is a funny thing, wouldn't have predicted that mood.

I was about 9 years old when I discovered thrash (1989ish), and there wasn't any internet back then so my knowledge of the scene as a whole was somewhat limited. That's probably why my top ten choices are a bit, well, obvious - those were the albums that really hit me during that 89-91 period. Towards the end of it I bought Nevermind by Nirvana, and pretty much went off down that road for a while like so many other people. Got quite into death metal for a while too, and black metal, but definitely lots of non-metal music as well.  It was only around 2009 that I really got back into thrash, much as I'd never stopped paying attention completely. And we obviously do have the internet now, so I've spent the past 7ish years investigating the genre fairly extensively. What's great is that I'm still discovering good bands from back in the day, and there are no doubt plenty more to discover. But whether anything I come across now is going to cut as deeply as the albums I loved back then is another matter. And I do kind of stand by my choices - they're classic albums for a reason.

I'll second diSEMBOWELMENT 'cause god damn are they awesome. I suppose you can expect nothing less from Aussies though let's face it just about everything we do is brilliant. For a more melodic approach you might also want to check out Mournful Congregation. particularly The Monad Of Creation album.

There isn't a whole lot out there that sounds like Evoken, but they do take a lot of cues from dISEMBOWELMENT. Give their Transcendence Into the Peripheral album a whirl, it's one of the most perfect metal albums ever made IMHO.

I'd recommend going through the thread we have stickied at the top of this section - there are video links (mostly courtesy of BAN) that cover a lot of ground, and even if you don't end up liking some of it, it's worth hearing. Based on this and your other posts, you should check out the first two Atheist albums, truly phenomenal early progressive DM with a bit of thrash influence; Brutality's "Screams Of Anguish"; Ripping Corpse's "Dreaming With The Dead"; and the first two Nocturnus albums maybe. I've been on a huge Finnish DM kick lately and there's some stuff in there that might appeal to you as well. I'll think of more after I've finished my coffee. But really, go through that thread.

Don't worry, you're not the first to be confused about this.

Check out Monstrosity's first two albums and Retribution by Malevolent Creation. That should be a good start.
