10 Greatest Thrash Metal Albums Of All Time

9. Annihilator - Alice In Hell

annihilator Track List: 1. Crystal Ann 2. Alison Hell 3. W.T.Y.D. 4. Wicked Mystic 5. Burns Like A Buzzsaw Blade 6. Word Salad 7.Schizos (Are Never Alone) Parts I & II 8. Ligeia 9. Human Insecticide Stand Out Track: A stunning acoustic intro bleeds into Alison Hell, the defining track on the album and a classy, unique moment in thrash history. Jeff Waters is one of Thrash Metals most gifted guitarists and this record, his bands debut from 1989, stands as one of the defining technical moments in thrash history. Blessed with a crystal clear production, this melodic yet shred heavy album still sounds fresh and innovative today and is arguably the best album in the bands career. The dramatic and spooky 'Alison Hell' jostles with heads down thrashers such as 'W.T.Y.D' (Welcome To Your Death) and 'Human Insecticide' for your attention but all the tracks on this Canadian classic are worthy of your time. Featuring fiendishly complex time arrangements, adrenaline-charged riffs and histrionic vocals delivered by a front-man named Randy Rampage(!), the whole record is as catchy as hell. What more do you need?

I love Heavy Metal, and generally anything that involves a guitar and loud noises, so I figured it was about time I put all the useless information in my head to good use and start writing a few things. Most of the time I'll be writing nonsense but occasionally I may surprise myself and appear half-way knowledgable.....but you can be the judge of that. Thanks for your fleeting attention!
