Thrash Friday: Toxic Holocaust - Metal Attack

Thrash Fridays are all about pure thrash mayhem and using the music as ammo to cause some serious mischief. Toxic Holocaust and this particular record represents A LOT of what I like about the thrash genre; I love the music, I love the black and white gory artwork, I love the start/stop patterns, I love the all out thrash havoc that this band stands for!

For many years I went through a phase that thrash metal was either not heavy enough as a metal form, or too metal for punk. But as of recently, I've realigned myself to the undisputed reality of thrash. I've seen the truth and I totally enjoy thrashing out and understanding the thrash way of life! Hope you play this LOUD.

Thrash Friday: LEGION OF PARASITES

Legion of Parasites was a very noisy UK band that formed in 1981 and released three albums and an ep. Although they truly belonged in the political, crusty punk hardcore scene of their time, their sound is undeniably much closer to a proto-metal thrash sound that still sounds heavy and disturbing some 30 years later. All their recordings are different from each other, meaning that the production is totally different and that the band also fluctuated back and forth from metallic punk to the more traditional UK82 and anarchopunk sounds. This band has gone largely unnoticed throughout the history of heavy music, but I think that their contribution should be reconsidered and credited. Thrash it up with some original old school UK necro sound!

Thrash Friday #1: ADRENICIDE

From now and on, every Friday at TxYxS will be Thrash Friday! What that means is that we will post stuff about cool bands (current or from the past) that trhash it up and pack tons of energy and aggression. The reason we dedicate Fridays to thrash is because Friday marks the end of the week, the day everyone waits to get some time off and have fun. And what better way to encapsulate and celebrate this feeling with some balls to the wall, crazy fucking music!?

Here is some not forgetten thrash that worships all things DRI and Suicidal Tendencies. It's the mighty Adrenicide from rainy England with a 2011 thrashterpiece! A must listen...
