Wakes up with a start .. rubs sleep from eye ... what's that noise ? @derthomas has set off the #ThrashThursday alert . Here's one off an album that I have on vinyl and really should listen to more often . Some young fella called Newsted wrote most of this album , I wonder what happened to him ?

Right my entry for #ThrashThursday is Rise of the Lifeless by Tortured Demon. Their second album is out next week and is also made more impressive by the fact they are all aged between 17-22. Check em out!
I love how Anthrax have this one always very early in their setlists, sets the mood for the whole show. Anthrax is a fu🤴 great live band, go see them if you can!
Okay, it's a bit hard to keep up with everything today, but here's my contribution to #ThrashThursday by @derthomas
Some classic thrash, at least I think it's thrash and I know it'll make Toms happy as he loves this band 😅
Ah, yes! It is (among other things) #ThrashThursday - that's always fun and so I'm dusting off this rip-roaring, face-melting classic. 🔥😬🔥 Also the album probably has the best cover artwork for a Thrash record ever ->
I've been itching to post this one since the last #ThrashThursday Dimmu Borgir! Despite all the polish and bombast, with this one they stitched some seriously ferocious thrashing flesh to their black metal bones. Fair warning, this is utterly brilliant.
Although I don't listen to #ThrashMetal that much anymore, I like to be reminded now and then that #Coroner still rips and remains one of my favorite bands that thanks to their melding of various styles had introduced me not only to thrash but #prog, #avantgarde, #technical, and #experimental metal as well.
Pop to the garage for petrol and come back to see that @derthomas has set the #ThrashThursday klaxon off . Some might argue that this band aren't thrash .. hmm I reckon that there's enough of the right elements in there to include them . Machine Head : Beautiful Mourning https://youtu.be/OzBxNEkI5Ko
They are Nuclear Tomb, and they really seem to have assimilated Voivod's lesson very well. But they egregiously avoid being copycats, putting their personal, quite sepulchral, touch.
