Unhinged to the point of incarceration, An inspiration to countless bands, death metal and grindcore legends Napalm Death covered “Riot Of Violence” and even they couldn’t match the intensity and ferocity of its original incarnation!The Upcoming Terror is included in the worthwhile mentions at the end but yeah, no Assassin. hile the Americans were preoccupied with showmanship and lengthy compositions, the Germans concentrated on the most ugly, twisted and animalistic thrash imaginable.

Sodom – Agent Orange (1989) The sheer number of considerably skilled Teutonic thrashers arriving on the scene in the mid 80’s was astonishing and mounted a serious challenge to America’s dominance.Mixing a furious blend of skin-strippingly raw and bloodied riffs with unhinged, snarling vocals and breakneck speed, Germanic thrash bands had a sound all of their own. Foetal Juice – Gluttony – Album Review Not to forget about Vendetta with albums like “Go and Live… Stay and Die” (’87) or “Brain Damage” (’88)! Seemingly just one more drink away from careening out of control entirely, Tankard’s hellish fury occasionally calms, the open acoustic guitar strum of “For A Thousand Beers” providing ample proof that these guys could play and play well.Just don’t ever steal their beer, you won’t like the outcome!On an album that never fails to impress it’s the attitude of Each track snaps and snarls but it’s “Current Of Death” that hits hard enough to put you into a coma (Death Angel nicked Sabina Classen’s irrefutably catchy “whoah, whoah, whoah” delivery on 2004’s Thrown to The Wolves incidentally) while “Fortress Of Desperation” settles into a groove that’ll have you bangin’ ’till you puke.In 1987, these dogs didn’t just bite, they sank rabies-infected fangs deep into your neck and tore out chunk after chunk of bloodied flesh; brutal, uncompromising and utterly feral.The Teutonic 4 of Kreator, Destruction, Sodom and Tankard really should make way for a 5th member, as Completely unpredictable, Exumer’s sound is defiantly thrash but not as intimidatingly raw as the albums produced by Destruction and Kreator at the time.

Some other great German bands who deserve mention but didn't make our top 10 include Crematory, Die Apokalyptischen Reiter, Doro, Edguy, Necrophagist, Powerwolf, Rage, Running Wild, and Worship. Can’t argue with it at all and just goes to prove the sheer number of awesome Thrash records coming out of Germany in the mid to late 80’s!
