Exhorder: One Of The Heaviest Thrash Bands To Exist

Exhorder was a ridiculously heavy thrash band from New Orleans, Louisiana. The riffs and production on both albums but especially Slaughter in the Vatican, is off the charts. Fans of the band included Phil and Pantera. They released two albums on Roadrunner Records, but nothing ever happened for them.

Here Is What We Know:

  • Exhorder was formed in 1985.
  • Their debut album, “Slaughter In The Vatican” was released on Roadrunner. It’s a straight-up solid thrash album that still holds up today.
  • The Law” had a more groove metal Pantera-type. It came out in 1992.
  • The band broke up in 1994.
  • In 2010 Exhorder did some reunion shows. It seemed a reunion was at hand.
  • In 2011 bassist Frankie Sparcello died of unknown causes, though drugs are suspected.
  • After, the band went back into a six-year hiatus.
  • There was supposedly a reunion in 2017, but nothing came of it.

S.O.D. – Speak English or Die (30th Anniversary Edition) – Could This Album Still Come Out in 2023?

SOD BAND PHOTO 1985

S.O.D. was pretty politically incorrect. Do you think this album could even come out in 2023?

Watch this video from their amazing reunion show in Tokyo while you think that over…

D.R.I. ‎– 4 Of A Kind LP 1988 Metal Blade Records – D1-73304

dri four of a kind era 1988

Four of a kind was the first of the DRI “crossover” albums and showed early signs of melding thrash with punk/hardcore influences although the did not perfect the formula until “Thrash Zone“.

This album is often looked over in the DRI catalog, although it is quite good.
