YES!!!!!!
its fun and obsessed!

Immortalicide is right,
Angel Dust debut is German thrash classic but it's too HARD to found,
actually anyone see a cd copy before?
I only see couple LP,
someone release bootleg, can found on ebay

check out the old German thrash label 1MF Records,
they got few obscure bands and every release from them I got is good,
Assorted Heap, Panacea and Megace
all quality german thrash bands!
[still looking for a copy of Assorted Heap and Archaic Torse debut ]

some more Obscure German Thrash
would be great to add in your german thrash collection

Howlin' Mad - Insanity
Asmodis - Fahr Zur Holle Pfleischmutze
Brainless - Brainless World
Damien Breed - Ave Satani
Despair all albums

I still looking for anything by Toxic Shock, Toxin, Mottek and Pyracanda....

was just about to post Assorted Heap, their pretty goddamn brutal... nice thrash though!!!!

Apologies, i got the two names mixed up. It's the second one that's called defenders of justice, not the other way around.
And it IS the first one i prefer, haha
can't get into second

my first and only darkness cd is defenders
but I dont like it,
they got great riffs,
remind me Kreator sometime,

but I think the guitar sound and vocal are not good
wasting the cool music

I think I will get death squad later...

maybe look for

Violent Force - Malevolant Assault of Tommorow (Sign of Evil is THE German thrash song.)
Protector - Misanthropy (most of their albums were re-issued by I Hate recs)
Necronomicon - s/t (I am Possessed by EVIL!!! Pretty sure Exumer pinched this line... Sounds like a cross between early Sodom and early Destruction.)
Assassin - Upcomming Terror (their new album was shit thiough)

best of the newer stuff would be Nocturnal, Witchburner and Hellish Crossfire.

i have the second assassin album, in places it's genius, but it's very inconsistent and some of the tracks are a bit rubbishy. is the upcoming terror better and more consistent?

Start with these.
Assassin - The Upcoming Terror
Grinder - Dead End
Tankard - Chemical Invasion
Mekong Delta - Mekong Delta
Accuser - The Conviction

And these next.
Minotaur - Power from Darkness
Necronomicon - Necronomicon
Headhunter - Parody of Life (Schmier on vocals)
Living Death - Metal Revolution
S.D.I. - Sign of the Wicked
Toxic Shock - Change from Reality
Protector - Golem

For some of the newer bands look into Delerium Tremens along with the ones Mastubator listed.

Only heard Assassin, Tankard, Minotaur's demos, SDI, Toxic Shock and Protector off that list

Been meaning to get hold of some Mekong Delta for aaaaaaaaages!!!

Not obscure, but i still love early Helloween.

I only got one Japanese Version cd of Mekong Delta,
Including first two album into one disc,
first album is great,
very dark, listen to it is like a nightmare
2nd album is even better

you should get it!!! Mekong Delta Rule!!!
[I want their 3rd and 4th album too....... ]

I have all mekong delta. Some is better than others but my god, what an underrated band. One of the best. First 2 are my faves, but the new one is reallly growing on me.
