Lyrics:
Trying out in the night
I am ready to start a fight
Hear the winds blowing through
Through my mind and I am waiting for you
FALLEN SAINT, FALLEN SAINT, FALLEN SAINT, FALLEN!
The carpet on the floor
Drunk in blood next to the door
Reminds me of the day
A fallen warrior had to lay
Crying out in the dead of the night
We will meet in the morning light
What is your name?
Hold my weapons strong in hand
Soon I will rule, control this land
What is your name
The sun is shining on your back
The saint is waiting for next attack
Make my day and try your best
God decides over this test
Clouds of war fill the sky
The exe upon your head is it a lie
See the fear in your eyes
Without a...

The last of Slayer's must-listens, Seasons in the Abyss was released in 1990 with one big ace up it's sleeve: the opening track, War Ensemble.
Line-up:
Tom Araya : Vocals, bass
Jeff Hanneman : Guitars
Kerry King : Guitars
Dave Lombardo : Drums
Lyrics:
Propaganda death ensemble
Burial to be
Corpses rotting through the night
In blood laced misery
Scorched earth the policy
The reason for the siege
The pendulum it shaves the blade
The strafing air blood raid
Infiltration push reserves
Encircle the front lines
Supreme art of strategy
Playing on the minds
Bombard till submission
Take all to their graves
Indication of triumph
The number that are dead
CHORUS
Sport the war, war support
The sport is war, total war
When victory's a massacre
The...

Line-up:
Komori Toshio - Vocals
Mochizuki Jiro - Guitar
Ito Akihiro - Guitar
Ando Suguru - Bass
Mochida Kazuhiro - Drums
Lyrics:
The filthy sound of death and pain
Brings the pleasure that I need
The rotting hides, rotting flesh
Innocent victims cry out in pain
Bloody corpses make me feel great
Ripping out your eyes, tearing off your face
All feeling's gone, nothing to say or do
Smell of death lurks around the place
Now you believe, your better off dead
But blood... an evil seed
Orgasmic pleasure, ready for anything
No direction got nowhere to go...
Kill...

Hailing from Germany, Paradox helped define the Teutonic melodic thrash sound which was heavily influenced by German's big Power Metal bands like Running Wild and Helloween. Paradox paved the way for the Power Thrash bands to come in the future like Iced Earth.
Line-up:
Charly Steinhauer - Vocals/Guitar
Markus Spyth - Guitar
Matthias Schmidt - Bass
Axel Blaha - Drums
Lyrics:
They started on a distant shore
The rich believing with the poor
Fighting, striving hard to seek
A higher power with something else to say
Spreading their belief
praying for a life
It's the perfect way
But to the church it's just called heresy
Heresy
Heretics, that and nothing more
Daring to renege on our gods law
It's wrong for them to feel this way
Detrimental...

Thrash metal from the 90's is hard enough to find, but Crossover Thrash? Nearly nonexistent. Sounding more like a Crossover Groove record, D.R.I. released their final album, Full Speed Ahead, in 1995 and it proved to be an excellent send off for one of the first Crossover bands.
Line-up:
Kurt Brecht - vocals
Spike Cassidy - guitar
Chumly Porter - bass
Ron Rampy - drums
Lyrics:
There once was a park where the kids used to go
But not anymore 'cause their parents all know
There's junkies and whores and bums drinking beer
And the tragic event that happened last year
Two kids were playing, digging in the sand
One with a shovel and one with his hand
Jabbed by a needle carrying hiv
And now he's infected with the disease
He found syringes in the...

Born as a side project of Sepultura front man Max Cavalera and Fudge Tunnel's Alex Newport, Nailbomb would make an unlikely fusion between Industrial Metal and Thrash. The outcome was the band's sole album Point Blank released in 1994 and it thrashes hard. The band would play 2 live shows and then disband shortly thereafter.
Line-up:
Max Cavalera - Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Samples
Alex Newport - Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Samples
Guest members:
Ritchie Bujnowski - guitars
Igor Cavalera - drums
Dino Cazares - guitars
Andreas Kisser - guitars
Lyrics:
Carve your rights into your arm
So they won't get taken away
Trying in vain to figure it out
Always thinking this is a waste
Build it up high
The further to fall
Right down on you
Wasting away...

Part of the so-called "Phoenix Thrash Metal Triumvirate" (which also included Sacred Reich and Flotsam and Jetsam) Atrophy released their classic debut Socialized Hate in 1988 and still remains a thrash masterpiece to this day.
Line-up:
Brian Zimmerman - vocals
Chris Lykins - guitars
Rick Skowron - guitars
James Gulotta - bass
Tim Kelly - drums
Lyrics:
Work your ass off every day
Nothing do you own
Sold your soul to the system
Another fucking clone
Never ask for nothing
Yet you gave and gave
Now you're trapped
Ambitions shattered
Another mindless slave
[Chorus:]
You never asked for anything
And that's exactly what you got
They never cared for you
They're glad to see you rot
Nothing's really yours
It's only mortgages and leases
When you...

Cross Examination ripped pages from D.R.I., Iron Maiden, and the Dominos advertisement in the phone book to create their own brand of weed and pizza influenced crossover thrash. They are the quintessential party thrashers of Saint Louis, Missouri and have rightly dubbed themselves the Awesome Party Squad.
Line-up:
Devil Dan - Vocals
Leon St. Gin - Guitar
Justin Toxicated - Guitar
Raymondo Arriola - Bass
Ryan O' Brian - Drums
Lyrics:
It's three in the afternoon and
you've got some time you can kill
before the party tonight
so you decide to just chill
your couch cushions spend some
quality time with your ass
while you turn on your tv, sit back,
smoke and relax to the
max - your body temperature falls
maximum - heart rate slows to a crawl...

Hailing from Los Angeles California, Bonded by Blood combine a classic thrash sound with flashy guitar work that comes close to sounding like a vintage Toxik reincarnation. They are one of the youngest bands to emerge from the NWOTM movement. The youngest member being 17 at the time of their debut release in 2008, Feed the Beast.
Line-up:
Jose "Aladdin" Barrales - Vocals
Alex Lee - Guitar
Juan Boogie - Guitar
RuDo - Bass
Carlos Cervesa - Drums
Lyrics:
First gate of hell is where I first fell
Searching for Eternal life
Blood boiling heat what a wonderful treat
Feels like getting fucked with a knife
Immortal Life
Running and fighting,
There's no turning back
Kicking and screaming,
A full on attack
Hunger for power is nowhere in sight...
