Some songs off of CFH could be considered thrash, arguably. I don't think I would call it a thrash album, but some songs are thrash for sure.

Ult I couldn't agree More with Vengeance being a top five candidate....
If not #1.... I bought my copy at Metal Midnight#1 roger was there with a booth, it had just come out that week.

Totally agree with 'Kill Em All', a buddy of mine bought in 83 and didn't like it... I borrowed it the next day and it was over....

Vengeance - Human Sacrifice
Metallica - Kill em All
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Deliverance - s/t debut
Testament - The Legacy
Testament- first strike is still deadly

Tempest - Annihilation of the Wicked 4 song demo ( this is not the pop christian metal band. this is the FIRST christian thrash metal demo/release. they were from Chicago and were featured in Metal Hammer 1985/86. frankly I'm very bummed I don't have my original anylonger... ebay fodder to pay bills... the bassist/vocalist was Warren Harris and he was a monster bassist... unfortunatley he fell into the Rock is of the devil trap dissolved the band and played Jazz & worship in his church.....)

Sacrament - Testimony of the Apocalypse
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Megadeth - Peace Sells
Anthrax - Among the Living
Anthrax - Spreading the Disease
Deliverance - Weapons
Testament - the new order
Believer - Extraction from Mortality
Believer - Sanity Obscured
The Crucified - s/t ( it's my list!)
Metallica - Ride the Lighting
Tourniquet - psycho surgery
Slayer - South of Heaven

when thrash was it's peak, I avoided a lot of it due to 'satanic influences'..... so a lot of bands I never gave time to because of that paranoia.... oh well... I still like my list...

:D
