Battle of 2012 Thrash Albums

[Riff Raff]

Three major forces of thrash metal put out a killer album this year. Just interested to see which one people favoured the most. Poll coming up.

Overkill The Electric Age


Kreator Phantom Antichrist

Testament Dark Roots of Earth

I'll probably be the only one here that even votes in this poll,dude.

I need to think on it.

Yeah I figured it won't have too many votes. lol
Was pretty hard for me to decide because all 3 are in my top 10 albums of 2012 but I leaned to Testament's album only just. I liked their cover of Iron Maiden Powerslave.

 

[DaKillerWolf]

It's a great album all the way though..and yeah the covers on the limited edition are killer as well.

Guess I'm going with Kreator but the other two are just as mighty really...

1 - Testament
2 - Kreator
3 - Overkill

Bonded by Blood made a good album with Aftermath. And Suicidal Angels did that with Bloodbath as well.

The Electric Age - Overkill

 

[Stiff n Cold]

Testament nailed it for me. I honestly am not the biggest fan of Overkill and Kreator's newer stuff does little for me.

The Electric Age - Overkill

Great album...probably my #3 here but awesome none the less

 

[Riff Raff]

Overkill have not put out a bad album just like in my opinion Testament haven't. It was a tough vote for me, killer year for thrash, I would have included Bonded By Blood and Suicidal Angels but I thought these 3 albums stood out the most and it was really for those old school thrash bands putting out modern albums. Overkill would have had a tough time to try to top Ironbound, I think they did that but only by a whisker as Ironbound is awesome.

Not a big thrash fan myself so I won't vote in Riff's poll, but I do think the cover art of Testament's album is the best of the 3.
