So with Killing Peace (officially) available to the masses, what do you think is the best 'slaught album??

'The Force' is one of my favourite albums of all time. Try as I might, I genuinely can't fault it. It's rare that you find a Thrash album with absolutely no filler and whose tracks are as relentlessly fast and ferocious from beginning to end. I love 'In Search of Sanity' as well. It's a lot more melodic than their previous releases, but they pull it off really well. The second last track, Welcome to Dying, always reminds me of 'And Justice For All' for some reason. 'Power From Hell' floats my boat too, but I'd typically choose the other two LPs over it if I was in the mood from some 'slaught (which is practically daily).

I've had 'Killing Peace' on order from Play.com since it came out. I still haven't received my copy

I love in search of sanity

Probably, The Force.

The first album is gash. In Search of Sanity is good but its lactose levels are off the scale. I'm not into the new album. If I wanted to listen to new Exodus, I'd listen to new Exodus.

Yeah i agree, Sneaps production annoys me.

Listening to the Force now and it is killer

Bollocks - I meant to pick "The Force" and picked "Killing Peace" instead.
Brain fart. Anywa, I'd rank 'em The Force, Killing Peace, ISOS, PFH.
ISOS had some great riffs but the vocals and the general "And Justice For All" feel to it brings it down a peg for me.

Saw Onslaught play a sports hall in Reading (Rivermead?) on the "In Search of Sanity" tour, they played nearly the whole album, and as it was one of my first gigs that album means a great deal to me.

I guess for thrash "purists" THE FORCE is the album of choice.

if you were wondering; the bil was--
ONSLAUGHT
ANNIHILATOR
LIONHEART
HORSE (LONDON)

HORSE(LONDON) were on the wrong fucking tour, they got nothing but abuse from start to finish.

ROFL! they must have realised they were playing the wrong tour with bands like annihilator and onslaught.........hahaha did they still get to play? sounds like a classic thrash moment

.....anyway my fav slaught album is the force altho PFH has its moments but really would only sound good if slaught could rerecord it because the production is pretty bad, ISOS is a great album too and i hope one day they will play welcome to dying live

Killing peace is no classic in my opinion but is definetly very heavy and the best thrash album out at the moment, the only drawback is the music sounds too much like slayer

in search of sanity for me

I haven't heard the new album, but I can't imagine it beating ' The Force'. Love ONSLAUGHT. Will have to get the new one, heard a track of it and enjoyed it...

I went for The Force but it only won by a whisker beacuse Killing Peace is fucking spectacular. I've had it since around the beginning of February and it's hardly come off my cd player (The new Dimmu Borgir and Dark Tranquillity have kept it off for the longest).
But at the end of the day, as bloody marvellous as KP is, it doesn't have Demoniac, Let There be Death, Flame of the Antichrist or Metal Forces on it.

IN SEARCH OF SANITY gets my vote.

I think Killing Peace is better than The Force.

edit: I've been listening to Killing Peace almost non stop recently, I'm now listening to The Force and I think I've already changed my mind again. lol

Power from Hell by far.

edit - really dislike the search...

Power From Hell, easily.
