Annihilator is probably the only thrash band well-known outside of Canada (some perverts also would mention Voivod, so let’s say that we’re talking about classic thrash-metal here, right?) and that’s, honestly, a shame, because there are two more bands which deserve much wider recognition. One of them is Razor and these dudes just released an absolute banger of an album (the first in 25 years! Decibels came out in 1997) — Cycle Of Contempt. This is that rare case when an album doesn’t contain a single weak song. I’ve listened to it 3 times already and it’s 40 minutes of pure relentless thrash, Razor at its best (their old albums are kind of similar, also can highly recommend them).
