SNAFU – Exile//Banishment
This album is a much needed throat punch to the decadence and oppression of modern society. Plus, it absolutely rips!
Disabuse – Death Machines
This is not a new band trying to catch the sound of those glory days. This is a band that was making crossover thrash (my favorite variety) in those glory days.
Iron Reagan – Crossover Ministry
With 18 songs and the longest coming in at a whopping 3:37, the Virginia 5-piece rips through the album in the best crossover thrash tradition.
Asschapel – Total Destruction (1999-2006)
Though Asschapel doesn’t really sound like Napalm Death – you would never confuse the two – I was impressed by how much the rage of the songs reminded me of Napalm Death.
Ghoul – Dungeon Bastard
…from the very first riff, I was transported back to my 15 year old self, down in my basement bedroom, boom box cranked to 11, and shouting along with Mike that “All I wanted a Pepsi. Just one Pepsi.”
