So many bands from Chile, let alone most other brutal thrash bands everywhere else in the world, owe these crazy pioneering Germans their lives. Released in 86, this legendary album pushed the boundary of extreme metal, exploring what would be the proto-death sound.
Forgive me for this major glazing if you feel my pick today is a cop-out, but after days of hearing so much Chilean death/thrash I had to spin this origin point lol. Sharing my fav of this historic album, though, in natural fashion I recommend the whole god damn thing, even the tacked-on EP Flag of Hate that was reissued/bundled together in 88.
Absolute classic! Yeah, many extreme bands wouldn’t exist without these guys.
