Desaster - A Touch of Medieval Darkness (1996)


Classic German black/thrash. A Touch of Medieval Darkness is more melodic than most blackened thrash, and with some medieval-sounding flourishes and production that's more comparable to Emperor than Sodom, there's a grander sense of atmosphere as well.

2. In a Winter Battle
3. At Touch of Medieval Darkness
4. Fields of Triumph
5. Devil's Sword
6. Into a Magical Night
7. Crypts of Dracul

Shadows dance around me, whispering into my ear
Those who died proud take me to their realm

Gehennah - Hardrocker (1995)


God-tier Swedish old-school black/thrash. Gehennah (not Gehenna, mind you) are what would happen if Venom dropped the pretense of being serious and focused on fighting and partying 'til they puked. Punk-friendly thrash debauchery that maintains a sense of humor throughout but never forgets to be, first and foremost, fucking vicious. The album ends with a one-two punch of misogyny, and I wish it didn't, but it's just too killer a record to write off.

Also, I just found out that they put out an album last year, and their song title game is stronger than ever -- for example, there's "We Stole Your Song", "Low on Cash, High on Speed", and "All of the Decadence, None of the Success". Cop it or die unfulfilled.

Track listing:
1. Hardrocker
2. Skeletons in Leather
3. Say Hello to Mr. Fist
4. Brilliant Overlords of Destruction
5. Winter of War
6. Beerzerk
7. I Am the Wolf
8. Blood Metal
9. Crucifucked
10. Bombraid Over Paradise
11. The House
12. Gehennah
13. Piss Off, I'm Drinkin'
14. Psycho Slut

My life is metal, chaos, and death

4. Under the Sign of Death

Abigail - Intercourse & Lust (1996)


Obliterating, punk- and thrash-infused Japanese black metal. Intercourse & Lust is Abigail's first LP, and it's thankfully more or less free of the totally rockin' misogyny that they'd embrace on their next record, the pretty hilariously-titled Forever Street Metal Bitch.

3. The Crown Bearer
4. Attack with Spell
5. Strength of Other World
6. The Bonehunter

Underground kingdom
Merciless death
Love and duty
The law of the jungle
