Devastation – Signs of Life 1989 [Full Album] [Texas Thrash Metal]

Devastation – Signs of Life 1989 is 80s Texas thrash metal at 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.

SACRIFICE FORWARD TO TERMINATION

“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.

Re-Animation
Afterlife
Flames Of Armageddon
The Entity
Forever Enslaved

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…

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.
