 "The track placed at the start is the pinnacle of the album, the killer track, soundtrack to a quarrel between two humans over a poached parking spot."

 "Their sound is a synthesis of Bay Area thrash, with plenty of choirs and occasional pop deviations woven throughout each song."

Mortal Sin's 1989 album Face Of Despair showcases an Australian take on Bay Area thrash metal with catchy elements and solid musicianship.

 The Exorcist are nothing more than the dark side of New York hard rockers Virgin Steele.

 "Nightmare Theatre" unfolds through 15 tracks, where Esotericism and Satanism take a walk with voice and guitar.

Nightmare Theatre by Exorcist is a unique, dark speed metal album born from the ashes of Virgin Steele's early lineup disputes. The album blends NWOBHM, thrash, and proto-death metal elements with occult themes, delivering raw but somewhat uneven performances. While it offers intriguing tracks and guitar work superior to earlier efforts, the album suffers from monotony and a lack of dynamic vocal delivery. As a collector's item, it's an interesting but imperfect snapshot of mid-80s metal experimentation. Dive into the dark and raw speed metal experiment of Exorcist's Nightmare Theatre and explore a hidden 80s metal gem.

 "The opener 'No Sympathy' is however the most powerful track, with a rhythm that recalls thrash more than the group members might like."

 "'Abominations Of Desolation' was recorded in 1986 under contract and was the first actual full-length, not a demo as Trey Azagthoth claims."

 "The blast beats Sandoval would use later are missing, replaced by a drumming style resembling early thrash metal and proto-death metal."

Abominations Of Desolation is Morbid Angel's first full-length recorded in 1986 but released in 1991, often mistaken as a demo.

 Artillery were the most creative and seminal Danish thrash metal band of the ’80s, the first to challenge the power of the sacred Teutonic triad Sodom-Kreator-Destruction in Continental Europe.

 "Force Of Habit is the most powerful album produced so far, with a compact sound, thrash truck coming from the highways."

 "Thrash decomposes, flops to a mere doormat, becomes a simple means. The flamboyant hardcore disappears but the power emerges, limping perhaps, but always ready to restart."

Exodus' 1992 album Force Of Habit is a tribute to their thrash roots fused with classic hard rock influences like AC/DC. It showcases strong guitar work but suffers from pacing and compositional inconsistencies. Despite some standout tracks and thoughtful lyrics on issues such as war and addiction, its overall reception was mixed, with fans missing the original drummer's energy. The album reflects a transitional and somewhat unfinished phase in Exodus' career. Explore and listen to Exodus' Force Of Habit for a raw and reflective thrash metal experience.
