As always, the solos are exceptional, and My Last Words closes off the album in perfect fashion with the record's best solo. Dave's snarling complaints on the title track or the intro to Black Friday provide exactly the right level of angst for thrash. Aside from that, the attitude that permeates this record is unmatched. But Who's Buying - Their best work, marred only by I Ain't Superstitious. I'm amazed that nobody has done anything in the vein of Artillery (themselves included) since this album was released because it's by far the most unique record on my list of 10 here.Ħ. Artillery - By Inheritance - This album is the perfect package - unique riffs, tons of melody, and just an unmatched catchiness. Even if other bands played faster, nobody's double bass crushed like Overkill's here!ħ. I always point out how brutal the double bass is on Birth of Tension when talking about this album, and I have to do it again. I picked TYOD because Elimination and I Hate are my two favourite Overkill songs, but every track on this record is great. Overkill - The Years of Decay - My appreciation for Overkill has actually declined over the years, but this album, the debut, and Taking Over are all worthy of this spot. The break in Tired and Red is one of the all-time greatest thrash moments.Ĩ. In between these three tracks is just constant thrashing. Ausgebombt is super punky and fun, Remember The Fallen is epic and one of the few slower/mid-paced thrash songs that nails it, and the Tank cover is awesome too. Agent Orange is the tightest selection of Sodom songs on any of their records, and I love the diversity it has. Sodom - Agent Orange - Sodom is often loved for how extreme their music was relative to their peers but that was never what made them great it was always the songwriting. #KINGDOM OF THE DEAD THRASH METAL HOW TO#Another area that Evildead really excels in is gang vocals - they knew how to use them perfectly and did so quite often.ĩ. This band just always knew how to write riffs that were a little bit different, with Future Shock being the most obvious example. Evildead - Annihilation of Civilization - Probably the most underrated thrash album ever.
