"This is a compilation disc put together by Earache records of some of their premier Thrash Metal bands today. This is definately a tip of the hat to the old school ANTHRAX, METALLICA, EXODOUS, MEGADETH, TESTAMENT, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM, SLAYER thrash sound of the early and mid 80's. Fast, loud and agressive with a lot of charisma and energy that metal has not had since the heyday of thrash. These bands are a new wave of thrash, as advertised. With witty names such as SEND MORE PARAMEDICS, and MUNICIPAL WASTE, these bands play with the energy that has been unrivaled in years. Favorite Tracks: Warbringer-Total War, Municipal Waste-The Art Of Partying, and Send More Paramedics-Twilight of the Flies. This album is a nice low cost way to pick up tracks from these bands and have them in one handy spot. A disc to listen through all the way from beginning to end, no slowing down."
Thrashing like a Maniac

"Well the title said it all. If you like 80's thrash this is a must...nothing special musically or lyrically as compared to today standards but a very good solid Various Artists comp. disc. This disc will have you thrashing from beginning till the end. Yep, no posers or Nu Metal here thank goodness!!!"
I say
