Leykis101 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I did pioneering thrash albums, hows about the best thrash debut album of all time, I tried to do my homework, and be as accurate as possible, so I didnt leave your favorite thrash debut album out, as there are so many awesome debuts, I of course took Venom, but it was a close second with the little known, little heard masterpiece, Oliver Magnum.

All Nights Reserved Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 For me it's "Alice in Hell". One of a kind album, a true gem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIM (2) Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I guess, based on pure enjoyment, I'd have to go for Testament. Exodus would be close, but the horrendous production always puts me off playing it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGH Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Very tough choice. I went with Metallica but I love 75% of this list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clutch Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 A ton of excellent choices on this one. I went with Vio-lence "Eternal Nightmare". Not only my favorite debut but my favorite thrash album period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockposer Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Easy choice for me, Metal Church - ST. Although to my mind it's more akin to Speed Metal than Thrash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangerdave Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Metallica for me,but close behind is Exodus,Metal Church,Slayer,Sepultura,Exciter and a few more on the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesfan3000 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Vio-lence - Eternal Nightmare just destroys all of those debut discs from these bands the only one that comes remotely close is Alice In Hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some really great debuts are missing, like Sabatt's History of a Time to Come, Assassin's Upcoming terror, Holy Terror's Terror and Submission, Deathrow's Riders of Doom, Agent Steel's Skeptics Apocalypse, Heathen's Breaking the Silence, Coroner's RIP, Possessed's 7 Churches, Nasty Savage's self titled.

Nebuchadnezzar Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 I went with Ultra Violence. Some titles like oliver magnum are not thrash & a few are missing but it's a good poll I'd say... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabatt's 1st album was excellent. I remember seeing them at the Astoria when it nearly ended in a full scale riot with the Astoria security nazis.

JamesEagle Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Easy choice for me, Metal Church - ST. Although to my mind it's more akin to Speed Metal than Thrash. Just trawling through the polls and stumbled across this one. Went with Metal Church, by far my favourite of these albums, just amazing. Not thrash though, I'd probably just call it 'Heavy Metal'; like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden it doesn't fit any of the sub-genres, so it's just HM. Just my tuppence worth.

heaven&hell Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I'm not sure how I missed this poll but somehow I did. My vote went to Kill Em All because on one hand it's fucking awesome and on the other if it wasn't for this album the others on that list wouldn't of ever happened IMO. Testament The Legacy is up there for me as well as is the Megadeth and Metal Church. The Venom, I'm not sure if I'd consider them thrash and I don't consider Iced Earth thrash either but that's just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Planet Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I went with Wargasm....love the band and all their releases....Annihilator comes in second... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV KIX Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I missed this one too... My favorite debut.... which isn't listed.... WRATCHILD (AMERICA) - "Climbin' The Walls" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Venom their would be almost nobody on this list, especially for Metallica and Slayer, whom they personally asked to open for them on tour, leading to the discovery of both bands, I dont know what list youd put Venom on? isnt Welcome To Hell thrash? and LV Kix, I never really thought of Climbing The Walls as a thrash album, as it never really fit that profile as it always seemed to be just a suped up Heavy Metal album, Hells Gates is really the only song on it(that I can think of)that id even consider to be a thrash song, ITS A FUCKING BRUTAL AND KICK ASS ALBUM AND ONE OF MY FAVS! it suffered from terrible production, and never got the recogniztion it deserved, I dont think that group of guys ever put out something I didnt like, Souls At Zero was fucking wicked as well!

I thought I'd get hell from you for that comment. I don't know where I'd place Venom as I know some consider them the creator of the black metal and thrash genre's but thrash was more of an American scene in the beginning and that started with Metallica IMO. Sure Venom was a huge influence on them and Slayer for sure but Kiss was an influence on Motley, Poison and Warrant but you can't consider Kiss a Hair Metal band. Sure they went through that phase but that's not what they were to start with. So if we're talking about "Thrash" that starts with Metallica period but that's just my opinion.

All Nights Reserved Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 And what about Motörhead? They were the biggest influence on Venom. Just listen to 'Welcome to Hell', it's a Motörhead tribute with satanic lyrics. Btw I like black metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leykis101 Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Motorhead and Iggy Pop were Venoms biggest influences! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Wrathchild (America) isn't 100% thrash. There were a few on the original poll list I personally didn't consider thrash. That is why I picked Wrathchild.. I believed them to be as "thrash" as some of the other choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
