  • Picking the best thrash album is like picking which member of your family you want killed. Painful. One things for certain, Darkness Descends is one of the top 3.

  • @WolfgangVonPoserkila haha damn right! You can't just choose just one, there are so many great albums and it's very hard to pick one as the best!

  • It comes close but the best thrash albums have to be Coroners first three

  • @Haloman777 Yeah Coroner are awesome, they gotta be in the list ;)

  • gene hoglan rulez

  • @ProjectPainMetal He's the master ;)

see all

  • @GoldenGateNum9 Altars of Madness by Morbid Angel come PRETTY DAMN CLOSE!

  • Definately an amazing peice of work, and i like what you said about Eternal Nightmare! Both those albums don't get as much attention as they need to. Ever heard of Morbid Saint? Check out Spectrum of Death, fucking BRUTAL! Some others i can think of off the top of my head: Tankard: Chemical Invasion, Sadus: illusions (borderline death metal), Onslaught: The Force, Flotsam & Jetsam: Doomsday for the Deciever, and if you're into Death Metal, Morbid Angel: Altars of Madness. Keep Thrashing Dude \m/

  • its a huge album but not better than pleasure to kill.

  • I have never heard a black metal album or death metal album to ever match the sheer violent ferocity and dementia darkness descends has with its perfect balance of brutality and speed, if you understand the true meaning of what { Heaviness } is than you will agree,

  • Sorry but YES IT IS if your talking about what thrash really was! & defining it, i can go on forever why, fuck all that, just listen to the album again & you will agree.

  • Absolutely.

  • Yes...The best thrash album ever...

  • Darkness Descends is the best Thrash Metal album ever.

  • for me the best of the best is peace sells... cmon The Omen, Black Friday and Last Words are fucking thrash!!!!
