Listen and buy here Arriving on Thrashmania’s inbox all the way from India, Amorphia released their debut ‘Arms to Death’ back in April. It is a solid debut that shows flashes of the true spirit of thrash metal but finds itself bogged down too much by some of the modern genre cliches exhibited by many […]
Here at Thrashmania, we are always looking for old classic albums to be given the attention we feel they deserve. Chilean band Apostasy are one such act. Originally released in 1992 only on cassette, their single full length, ‘Sunset of the End’ stands as a landmark release in Chile’s metal scene. It has remained under […]
Raven were formed in Newcastle, U.K. in 1974 by brothers John and Mark Gallagher (Bass / Vocals and Guitar respectively). By 1979, and after some personnel changes, the band’s classic three-man line-up was completed when drummer Rob “Wacko” Hunter joined the band. Their debut album, “Rock Until You Drop” was released in 1981, and showcased […]
When half of the line-up is the current (at the time) rhythm section for Morbid Angel, plus a future Napalm Death guitarist, you know this album is gonna be a stormer! Oscar Garcia (formerly of Death / Thrash band Majesty) formed the band in 1986 with 15-year-old Jesse Pintado (the future Napalm Death guitarist). Starting […]
Necrodeath formed in Italy as Ghostrider in summer 1984. They released one demo under that name, “Mayhemic Destruction“, in 1985 (more Goth-tinged Speed Metal than the Black Thrash they would become). They changed their name to Necrodeath after this, and released a demo, “The Shining Pentagram” , later in ’85. “Into The Macabre” was recorded […]

“Under The Sign Of The Black Mark” was recorded at Heavenshore Studio in Sweden (a converted mechanics’ garage), in 1986. Bathory had already released two albums at this point (The self-titled debut, and “The Return……“), and compared to those this was a huge step forward. Although there are other members credited as performers, it’s generally […]
Iron Maiden formed at the end of 1975 by bassist Steve Harris (who is the only member of the original lineup still in the band). Several personnel changes and a few years later they recorded this absolute classic of a debut album. Maiden spearheaded the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (N.W.O.B.H.M.) movement, and remain as […]
This album holds the honour of being the first Metal album ever released by a Brazilian band. Formed in Belem, Brazil in 1974 as Pingo D’Agua, the band changed their name to Stress in 1977 . Stress have been active since then, releasing several demos, singles, and albums over the years. The music on this […]
Samael formed in Switzerland in 1987. Previously to this release, they had put out several demos and an EP. They all differ in sound quality, the best being the “Medieval Prophecy” EP, but they’re all worth a listen. “Worship Him” was better produced than the EP, and way more atmospheric (probably helped by tons of reverb!).
