Which album first got you thrashin' and took you to all things underground and unacceptable to most mainsteam conciousness?

Although I was already familiar with hardcore/thrashcore/grind from John Peel's radio one show in the 80's,it was 'State Of Euphoria' by Anthrax that got me hooked.I'd never heard guitars as heavy and crushing as that before!!

Sepultura - Beneath the Remains

I went "yep, thrash and death all the way for me"

I was sitting in mate Rory's attic smoking weed and listening to a live Green Day album.

Bille Joe announced to the crowd, "you guys like Metallica?"

Crowd: "YEAAAAH!"

Anyway they played the intro part and the first riff to Master Of Puppets and since I heard that I became addicted. I went out and bought the Puppets album and havnt looked back since.

So yeah, Master Of Puppets is the album that changed my life. With a little help from Green Day!

Well, Bonded by Blood but I'd been listening to the Big 4, Testament, and Suicidal Tendencies for a while before I went out and found BbB and FD on vinyl for a quid each.

It was Handle With Care that made me sit up and go, fuck yes, thrash rules!

Reign in Blood


I didn't care about albums before I heard it.

Not sure what album, but I remember hearing some tracks off Show No Mercy & Eternal Devastation which began my quest. Thanks to good old audio galaxy

There have four Thrash Metal Album is so important for me

Sepultura - Schizophrenia

Back when I started listen to metal
I'm a High School Kid
I'm totally addicited to Death Metal
havent start Thrash metal yet!

The Sepultura cd is the first Thrash Metal CD I got
The reason I got it because I think the Cover art is Cool]
and I Thought it's a Death Metal Release
hahaha!

Anthrax - Among The Living
THE FIRST THRASH ALBUM THAT I GET INTO!
JUST LOVE IT WHEN I LISTEN TO IT
after this album, I became a Thrasher
and Start listen more thrash metal

Sodom - Persecution Mania
My First German Thrash
It open the door of Euro Thrash For Me!

Exhorder - Slaughter In The Vatican
This cd made me into Thrash Metal Once Again
and even more serious than before
and Without this CD,
I won't make my own Thrash Metal Site

That's It!!!

I would imagine MoP would be the choice for many. Mine was Overkill - The Years of Decay. That was the album that turned me on to thrash.

...And Justice For All & Among The Living. First two i bought and i never looked back. Saying that it was actually a c90 a pal/fellow Iron Maiden fan at school gave me that got me into thrash. It had Garage Days Re-revisited on one side and So Far...So Good...So What on the other. He didn't tell me which band was which and i actually thought Megadeth were Metallica and vice versa

Good album is SFSGSW!

The *holds breath and sings for a minute bit* in Liar is, like, the best thing ever!

START TROUBLE, SPREAD PAIN
