I don’t think any thrash list can be complete without Razor - Evil Invaders. Has to be my favorite thrash record of all time .

J-Dawg shouldn't be embarrassed to have Kill 'Em All on his list. Metal Militia is the song that got me into metal. In another 2 weeks Kill 'Em All will be 40 years old.

When J-Dawg posts the top 15 thrash records all morning activities stop! Banger list - keep pumpin’ out the content.

Gammacide - Victims of science is SUPER underrated. Sounds like nuclear assault meets sodom with a bit of carnivore. A classic “one record” band.

this is great, some of these I don't know, so I will definitely listen to them, thanks Dawg.

Like the way you think J-Dawg! Glad to see that other's out there love BLOOD FEAST & RIGOR MORTIS!!!

Cool list bro, A few in there I have yet to hear, one on my list would be Sabbat - History of A Time To Come. Thrashtastic!

Solid. Personally my list for top 15 thrash metal albums would be: 1.Slayer - Show No Mercy 2.Razor - Executioner's Song 3.Onslaught - The Force 4.Sodom - Tapping The Vein 5.Testament - The Legacy 6.Exodus - Bonded By Blood 7.Toxic Holocaust - An Overdose of Death 8.Kreator - Endless Pain 9.Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? 10.Iron Angel - Hellish Crossfire 11.Mortal Sin - Face Of Despair 12.Forbidden - Forbidden Evil 13.Sepultura - Arise 14.Destruction - Release From Agony 15.Metallica - Kill Em' All

This is one of the few times I agree with both favorite song and an album with J-Dawg, Show No Mercy is also my most favorite and Antichrist is my favorite song on it. \m/ I also do consider Show No Mercy to be a proto-black metal album.

Good list J-Dawg , I was rolling at the alien impersonation 😆 🤣 😂 😹 \m/

Yeah! Motorbreath and jump in the fire! Great tunes! I remember watching the Mexican wrestling and this guy came to the ring to seek and destroy. One time it looked like the guy who played the entrance music forgot it was on. The intro was on loop for about 20 minutes during the match haha

You have a pretty solid list that is respectable and some of those you picked would even make it to my list. Much better than I initially thought. I first thought that half of the bands you would pick would be newer Thrash bands that are just carbon copies of previous thrash bands and aren't even half as good as their predecessors. Some of the picks like Helloween and Running Wild however I wouldn't even consider Thrash Metal as to me they have more in common with Traditional Heavy Metal bands like Mercyful Fate and Judas Priest than they do with Overkill or Destruction although you did say that it's also a top 15 Speed Metal list as well and your not separating the two so its somewhat understandable given that context. I feel obligated now to give my top 15 Thrash Metal list. Here it is in no particular order: 1. Vio-Lence: Eternal Nightmare 2. Kreator: Pleasure to Kill 3. Forbidden: Forbidden Evil 4. Pestilence: Mallevs Maleficarvm 5. Overkill: The Years of Decay 6. Onslaught: Metal Forces 7. Slaughter: Strappado 8. Destruction: Internal Overkill 9. Sodom: Tapping the Vein 10. Tankard: The Morning After 11. Death Angel: The Ultra Violence 12. Exhorder: Slaughter In the Vatican 13. Demolition Hammer: Tortured Existence 14. Toxik: World Circus 15. Nuclear Assault: Game Over

Blood Feast - Kill for Pleasure Helloween - Walls of Jericho Hobbs Angel of Death - Hobbs Angel of Death Metallica - Kill Em All Kreator - Pleasure to Kill Overkill - Feel the Fire Rigor Mortis - Rigor Mortis Running Wild - Gates to Purgatory Sadus - Illusions Slayer - Show No Mercy Toxic Holocaust - Evil Never Dies Whiplash - Power and Pain did I miss any? if not this is a top 12 lmao

Your list is pretty damn good! Love the Rigor Mortis (RIP Bruce & Mike) & Sadus picks but somewhere Baloff is calling you a poser for no Bonded by Blood. I'll give three obscure thrash classics that melt faces Sacrilege BC " Party With God" Evil Dead "Annihilation of Civilization" and Forced Entry's " Uncertain Future" \m/

Testament- The legacy will always be in my top 10 thrash albums. Grew up with it.

I've seen all your videos since the first one, but it's my first time commenting. I sincerely believe that Gates to Purgatory is a heavy metal album. I'm sure you know about Hypnosia's Extreme Hatred album, but if not.. give it a listen man! For me it's right next to Pleasure to Kill and Illusions.

Test your Metal IQ. Question: What is Metal Mickey's favorite track by Sinister? Answer: The opener from Diabolical Summoning, the perfectly titled _SADISTIC_ _INTENT!_ \m/

The Helloween pick really surprised me. The stuff from Keepers Pt1 and beyond really leaned into the power metal sound for the most part. Their Straight Out of Hell album is an absolute masterpiece in my opinion. My favorite by them. Also, their newest album has ALL 3 singers on it; Kai Hansen, Michael Kiske, and Andi Deris. That one is very good too. I strongly encourage you check at least Straight Out of Hell.

Solid list. Hobb’s needs to get mentioned more. I didn’t even hear them until I saw some Australian Metal documentary around 5-6yrs ago. I was way to late to that party

Gary the original singer for Blood Feast is back as of last year. I saw them at the Dragon Rojo festival in Tijuana last year and they sounded great. I believe a new album is on the way as they played a couple new songs.

Great list, all these rip.

Dang, I'm almost 50... was into metal since '84, thought I knew a lot about it until I found your channel. My knowledge is infinitely less than yours - embarrassing. I was thinking b/c I was into obscure bands like Piledriver (YES, I know it wasn't a real band now, but then no one know), Venom, et al that I had some secret knowledge. I don't know half of the bands you cover on this channel. COOL!!! I'll be buying some new copies now.

Your Panterrible rants are always appreciated 🤘🤮🤘

Chemical Exposure sends Illusions home on a stretcher.

Great list. All classics. I am surprised I didn't see Demolition Hammer on there though, J-Dawg! And yeah, Evil Never Dies is a great album. I bought that fucker right when it came out. And no doubt Kill 'Em All should be on that list. Kill 'Em All and Show No Mercy are the albums that really started it all for me personally.

I'll listen to it all,everyone's different,my face and truely believe to be the best us Exodus-Bonded By Blood

Is anyone else excited for the 20 year anniversary repress of 'Evil Never Dies'? It is coming out as a double lp. I guess there is a second recording of the album never released!

I predicted a bunch of these to be on here power and pain HAS to be on these lists.

My Favorite Thrash Metal Albums 1. Overkill - Horrorscope 2.Metallica - Kill Em All 3.Megadeth - Peace Sells But Who’s Buying 4.Annihilator - Alice In Hell 5.Sadus - Swallowed In Black 6.Exodus - The Atrocity Exhibition Exhibit A 7.Slayer - Divine Intervention 8.Death Angel - Killing Season 9.Testament - The New Order 10.Blood Feast - Kill For Pleasure 11.Forbidden - Twisted Into Form 12. Vio-Lence - Eternal Nightmare 13.Sodom-M16 14. Kreator - Pleasure To Kill 15. Destruction - Cracked Brain

JDawg what's better Salmon or Tuna? Both staple protein sources. Also, what are your thoughts on intermittent fasting?

Banger ass list. Curious your opinion on thought industry?

some of those I too would have chosen, others not a couple I feel bad for missing hearing! (why don't I know of that Devastation?!?) Anthrax's first deserves to make it (they didn't have party-thrash status at that time) 100% correct Slayer and Overkill choices! (two of my all-time favs!)

Devastation Chicago is my favorite Death/Thrash band. I especially like their debut demo a creation of ripping death.

Glad to see illusions make the list. Sadus should have got more recognition, id replace anthrax or megadeth with them in the big four in cocaine heart beat.

Would of taken your devastion Chicago of the list and replaced it with artillery fear of tomorrow or hallows eve tales of terror

My Kreator favorite is Extreme Aggression, Metallica it's MOP, for Slayer, a tie between SOH and SNM. Also I like Venom WTH for this list, even though it could IMO be considered a root-band for death, black, and thrash. I'd definitely put Coroner PFD in there. Forbidden in their forbidden evil form belongs too for me.

Destruction, Forbidden, Exodus, Death Angel

Finally love for devastation....im from chicago...54 here an old metal head. Had the pleasure of seeing them a few times....got the ORIGINAL demos....

Razor: Executioners Song. Exodus: Bonded by Blood. Destruction: Infernal Overkill. Necrodeath: Into The Macabre. Demolition Hammer: Tortured Existence. Slaughter: Strappado Dark Angel: Darkness Descends. Slayer: Hell Awaits.

SADUS!

If i were to make a top 15 Thrash list, "Suicidal Tendencies - Lights...Camera...Revolution" would definitely be there somewhere.

Super pissed at the Dawg for not including some of my favorite thrash albums.

Im always shocked Sadus- Chemical Exposure (thats how i know it as, got the CD back in 96) is never on any of these top 20 lists, as its EASILY one of the best. So its fucking nice to see it finally get some love.

Powermad - Absolute Power is one of my all-time favorite thrash albums.

Aw Hell Yeah!!!

Hey J-Dawg see you like Blood Feast. how about Indestroy ST on the same label 1987 with jams like "Dead girls dont say no" and "Dismembered" plus "USSA" i know dear in headlights 😮 right

My list in no particular order if I could only pick one album per band. Ghoul - Splatterthrash Sodom - Persecution Mania Kreator - tie between "Pleasure to Kill" and "Extreme Agression" Slayer - Show no Mercy Municipal Waste - Hazardous Mutation Rippr'd - Red, White, and Ripped Testament - "The Legacy" Razor - "Open Hostility" Toxic Holocaust - tie between "Evil Never Dies" and "Hell on Earth" Suicidal Angels - Division of Blood Metallica - Kill 'em All Nihilist - Call Down the Thunder Onslaught - "Power from Hell" Anthrax - "Spreading the Disease" Witchtrap - "No Anesthesia"

Agree on all of them! Show No Mercy is Slayer’s best album and Rigor Mortis is 10/10 easily!

Heathen- Victims of deception. Most underrated thrash album of all time

Infernal Majesty none shall defy, Dark Angel darkness descends, voivod killing technology, Forced entry, nuclear Assault game over..... But damn there's endless others in 80's thrash just as Omen was in the early 80's as sacrifice, Hirax, Exciter.............🤘🔥🤘 And damn Pantera was real candy ass sh.. when they came out, I was like ugh. I rather listen to mortal sin and laaz rockit

I can’t really do a top list because I don’t own a lot of thrash metal (yet) so bit of a strict list here Slayer - Hell Awaits Destruction - Release from Agony Dark Angel - Darkness Descends Slaughter- Strappado Razor - Live! Osaka Saikou 大阪最高 Voivod - Killing Techology Metallica - Master of Puppets (Yes, really) Megadeth - Peace Sells (YES, REALLY) Overkill - Horoscope Kreator - Pleasure to Kill Sodom - Obsessed by Cruelty Would include Bonded by Blood but I don’t own it so 🤷‍♂️

Demolition Hammer - Epidemic of Violence. Relentless album.

Can someone explain to me where the words "canoe" and "panini" come from? I've never heard them outside this channel. Thanks

one album per band. the list is without historical value or nostalgia bs. 1. Dekapitator - Storm before the Calm. Just pure perfection. 2 Metallica - AJFA 3.Slayer - Hell Awaits 4. Demolition Hammer - Epidemic of violence 5. Violator - Chemical Assault 6. Sodom - Code Red 7. Toxic Trace - Torment 8. Dark Angel - Darkness Descends 9. Suicidal Angels - Eternal Domination. It is impossible to sound so evil with this kind of production but they nailed it here. hundreds of riffs. 10. Raped God 666 - Executioner 11. Municipal Waste - The art of Partying 12. Sadus - Illusions 13. Destruction - Antichrist 14. Mantic Ritual - Executioner. 2 Executioners on the list he he. 15.Heller - Heller

It's your list,who cares what we think,.it's good to see someones list.

Pizza party wimps. You're halirious brah brah

lol pizza party. municipal waste and crisix comes to mind

My favorites are a tie: Slayer - South of Heaven and Metallica - And Justice for All. Favorite DM: Deicide self titled. BM: Darkthrone - Transylvanian Hunger tied with Revenge - Victory…

Watching Helloween at Castle Donnington in 1988 playing Ride the Sky was a great experience. Hobb's Angel of Death for me is the best Thrash Metal band to come out of Australia. Feel the Fire came out in 1985 but was re released by Megaforce in 1987. My favourite track off Gates of Purgatory is probably Diabolic Force and an unpopular opinion with my mates is i prefer Sacred Reich over Slayer. Their latest album Awakening is really good i think. The first two Sadus albums are brutal as fuck.

Personally i like thrash from 88-1990 the best. I mean look at some of the gems that came out in 88 alone. Sadus-illusions Steel Vengeance- Prisoners Flotsam and Jetsam- no place for disgrace Dissection(Can)- Final genocide Nuclear Assault- survive Bulldozer-Neurodeliri violence- eternal nightmare, overkill- under the influence Death Angel- Frolic through the park

I remember when no death, black, thrash, grind, goregrind, or subgenres existed. Older family members that listened to heavy metal didn't call it "heavy metal;" they called it Black Sabbath, Budgie, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, etc, etc. Today I still consider it all as "metal" even though I know the genres.

Has anyone ever listen to Bonded by Blood? Basically the only metal band to almost make it out my area, they are from Pomona California, (the term Popo is referring to Pomona Police. )

My list Demolition hammer epidemic of violence Dark angel darkness descends Death angel ultra violence Blood feast kill for pleasure Kreator pleasure to kill Sadus illusions Razor violent restitution Morbid saint spectrum of death Slayer reign in blood Sacrifice reanimation Holy terror terror and submission Protector golem Holy Moses finished with the dogs Violence eternal nightmare Voivod rrrrroooaaarrr Exumer possessed by fire Whiplash power and pain Tankard chemical invasion Laaz rockit anihilatiom principle Devastation idolatry Hellwitch

imagine how fast and lucidly i-Dawg could have done this thrash list if he had done a few rails.

You are insane for not putting tortured by demolition hammer

I thought metal church should have been there instead of kill em all, kinda surprised there was no agent orange, darkness descends or some of those sepultura albums after schizophrenia before they went full gay.

Favorite *Overkill* album is "Under The Influence" and for *Slayer* its "Reign In Blood". For guys in my age range and older, it's pretty common for them to hate *Slayer* after "Reign In Blood". It's an unpopular opinion, but personally, I don't think *Slayer* ever did a 100% terrible album. Even the homeboy album got some good tracks.

Blood feast has a new album out

When you mentioned walls of jericho you failed to mention your on the album cover and R.I.P. Peter Hobbs

Good f*(king morning, godd*mnit!

I love Walls of Jericho but don't consider it thrash. More of a speed metal/power metal/heavy metal record. Just saw them live with all three singers(Pumpkins United) and I have to say they were the greatest live band I've ever witnessed. 🇩🇪 🎃 🍺

Rigor Mortis's self titled is my favorite thrash album of all time 🤘🤘

Beneath the remains.

Exodus Bonded by Blood easily should have made the list

Great list Dawg, but no Bonded by Blood? Thats the Altars of Madness of Thrash in my book, as in it's the album that represents everything the genre stands for. Plus, Paul Baloffs vocals are some of the most vicious and evil in Thrash history.

DRI 4 of a kind.

JDAWG! Thrash metal greatness with letter Z? Znöwhite Act of God is a killer thrash album. One of the best

I was expecting some Merciless the awakening or Solstice by Solstice

Great list. Mine would be something like this off the top of my head so I'm sure I'm forgetting some, not entirely in order: Sodom- Obsessed by Cruelty Demolition Hammer- Epidemic of Violence Razor- Violent Restitution Infernal Majesty- None Shall Defy Destruction- Infernal Overkill Kreator- Pleasure to Kill Voivod- War and Pain Overkill- Feel the Fire Sadus- Illusions Dark Angel- Darkness Descends Protector- Urm the Mad Slayer- Hell Awaits Testament- The Legacy Vio-lence- Eternal Nightmare Celtic Frost- To Mega Therion

Witches Brew is a label made for made for Thrashers.

All the noobs: Where ith Powah Twip???

Necrophobic- the nocturnal silence or marduk- dark endless

33:55 - 33:58 " (Mortician) It's just not the best representation for overall Metal. " Hands down the most honest thing Dawg has stated so far, I applaud you sir, you're getting there.👍

the dogg provides

Whiplash Thrashback was a good album. The original lineup was together on that.

Music of destruction made a top 15 thrash metal albums video, and kreators pleasure to kill was at number 1

I'll do my wimpy poser top 15 Dark Angel - Darkness Descends Kreator - Endless Pain Exodus - Bonded by Blood Sacrifice - Forward to Termination Slayer - Hell Awaits Darkness - Death Squad Metallica - Kill em All Sepultura - Morbid Visions Assassin - The Upcoming Terror Poison - Into the Abyss Possessed - Seven Churches Megadeth - Killing is my Business Sabbat - History of a Time to Come Protector - Golem Sodom - Agent Orange I do really like Walls of Jericho & Feel the Fire but not thrash enough for this list. Honourable mentions to Holy Moses, Destruction, Coroner, Whiplash, Anthrax, Testament, Vio-Lence, Razor, Onslaught, Deathrow, Exumer, Infernal Majesty, Bloodfeast, Hobbs, Cyclone and Demolition Hammer who could all have made the cut if I was in a different mood!

I would of sandwiched a demolition hammer in there and just maybe Among the Living.. but I get it

Mannn what abt evil invaders THAT SHITS SLAPS BRA

I started listening to metal When I was ten.. I'm not talking s***, but it just is crazy to me. That you've found out about the Misfits when you're, like, 20 years old.

What is a Pizza Party wimp seeing as I'm from the UK?

Carnivore is up there for me

No Annihilator!? What do you meaaaaaaan you don’t have any Annihilator in the top 15. I’m appalled.

I'm not watching all 40 min of this but I hope to whomever Sepultura's Beneath the Remains or Schizophrenia is on your list. Those albums destroy anything by any U.S. thrash metal band, except maybe early Slayer. Arise is my all around favorite album by Sepultura, but for full on thrash it's BTR or Schizophrenia.

The first full length Nuclear Assault lp and ep are among the best Thrash Metal releases. They would have been better without stupid songs like Lesbians, Hang the Pope and Butt Fuck. Pleasure to Kill, Hallows Eve - Tales of Terror, and Death and Insanity, Wargod , Holy Moses, Viking, INC , Forbidden, Violence, and Skinless Rodent are some of my favorite Thrash Metal bands

Rigor mortis major label debut

Great list, But Never be ashamed or embarrassed of having 'KEA' in your top favorite thrash metal list. I know when i bought it upon it's release way back in '83 It was fucking top notch and Is still a top Thrash Metal album today. KEA is the only album I need buy Metallica.... even tho I do own the first 3 and the garage days ep (For the cover songs)... But dude in 83 when I bought SLAYER - Show No Mercy was and is one of the greatest debut albums of all time.

Venom -blood lust ☕🚬

Werewolves - From The Cave To The Grave 👌
