Listen To The Accused “Splatter Rock” from the Album
Devastation – Signs of Life 1989 is 80s Texas thrash metalat its finest with some mild Christian overtones, although many argue the band is not Christian at all. The music is intense thrash bordering on death metal. Their albums have been reissued many times in subsequent years, and the band still enjoys a cult following among thrash diehards.
“Forward To Termination” is a thrash metal classic that is easily on par or better than many of their peers from the Golden Age Of Metal. Despite playing the right kind of music at precisely the right time and quite well, mainstream success was in the cards for Sacrifice.

Metal Compilation With Hades, The Beast, Tortured Dog, Sneak Attack from Megaforce 1984
Born To Metalize is a compilation issued in the very early days of Megaforce; it had a bunch of bands that never really did anything; perhaps the biggest of these obscure metal bands was Hades, which would later sign with Combat Records. I’m not sure what happened to the rest.
