My wife just sent me a text saying wtf are you listening too? I said the top ten thrash albums of 1992. She replied with are you in a bad mood I’ve never heard you jam to that. I turned up my guitar amp and just shredded a solo and said that I was a young man once. She’s convinced I’m having my mid life crisis. Lol has nothing to do with this list but I feel pretty chummy with you guys and I’m enjoying reliving my youth. Wait until she hears that our 5 year old daughter has been getting guitar lessons from me while she’s been at work lol.

1992 for thrash metal was like 1979 for prog rock or 1985 for traditional heavy metal. Bands were looking for a new sound and direction to fit with the times and remain relevant. Glad in the 21st century it's less of a concern and bands just do whatever they like without fear of being labeled as old fashioned.

@@rockenrollling I agree, but I feel like it was a turning point for trad heavy metal. Many bands started to look for more commercial and radio friendly appeal and incorporated pop hooks and simpler song structures. Priest released Turbo in 1986, and went hair metal for a while. Saxon released Innocence Is No Excuse and Accept released Metal Heart in 1985, both tried to go radio friendly.

Awesome to see Tourniquet represented in your list! Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance is my favorite Tourniquet album, and very probably my favorite thrash album ever. Sacrament's Haunts Of Violence being an honorable mention is cool, as well. Love that one! Unlike the debut, which could easily be mistaken as a Slayer b-sides compilation, Haunts is far more original, and its technical sound and unique vocal approach really makes it stand out, and more memorable, IMO.

Can only really take Sodom and Assorted Heap from your list. Exhorder sounds like Pantera?!!!!???!!! Blasphemy! Pantera literally took Exhorder's sound wholesale and pawned it as their own.

Testament is actually my favorite band, but I'm kind of shocked that you would include "The Ritual" but leave out Megadeth's "Countdown to Extinction" and Exodus's "Force of Habit." All three of these big league thrash giants had gone the more mainstream/experimental route by 1992, but to include Testament then leave out solid albums by Exodus and Megadeth makes very little sense to me. Those two albums definitely rank higher than one or two of your more obscure choices on this list. But hey that's just my two sense!

But, I remember when it came out. All the other CDs on the shelf were so different. Record companies seemed to be racing to the bottom, signing the least talented acts they could find. When I saw "The Ritual" had come out, I was like ""Oh, that's nice!" as though I didn't expect any more thrash metal to come out. Still, I can't complain; my teenage years perfectly overlapped with that era.

As a long time Kreator fan, when I heard Renewal for the first time at a friends place about a week after it came out, I thought it was just awful. Like complete noise awful. My opinion has changed a little over time - I can tolerate it and there are a couple of good tracks, but it just doens't sound like Kreator to me, so good choice in keeping it off the list, as I kinda expected to see it floating somewhere around the bottom third tbh. Good list otherwise (disappointed that Megadeth didn't make it though) including some odd ones and bands making to the list for the first time which is always good to see.

So I'll put in my top 10 list ... But I have only four Thrash albums from 1992 ... 1. Solstice - Solstice (isn't this album called "The Sentencing"? Rob Barrett sounds so sick on this album, I love it.) 2. Sodom - Tapping the Vein 3. Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction (OK, it's not a Thrash album, but it's Megadeth, and this one would make it 3rd as well in another top 10 list from 1992, right behind Pantera #1 and White Zombie #2) 4 Testament - The Ritual I'm fine with your list, always some cool stuff to discover, there are so many bands that put out great albums, you give them recognition, it's a good thing. 👍🤘🤘🤘

It's like I've heard these song by Metallica, Anthrax, Testament, Slayer, Megadeth, Mercyful Fate, Fates Warning, Halloween and Over Kill. No wonder it died. You can take all these songs and say this was from this, and that was from that. IMO Great List from what you had👍though

But i agree.., Kreators-Renewal (was a huge dissapointment for me too, besides the weak/ boring songs came the shitty vocals as well) has no right right to enter a Top 10 Thrash Metal list! This just may seem ridiculous.. sorry. Same for Exhorder-The Law, slow, boring songs, groove metal-style..! can't understand why such an album enters a Top 10 Thrash Metal list???

Heavy metal was the most fun for me when I had no concept of the different genres. Throughout the 90's and 2000's, I just considered it all heavy metal. So I would hear Pantera, Coal Chamber, Sevendust, Rage Against the Machine, and just think "this is heavy metal". I did not distinguish it from the 80's thrash albums. To me it was the same, just new bands with their own unique sounds. It is only after KZitem and other internet exposure that I learn all the history and genres and categories. I almost wish I could forget the genre's, it seems like knowing them is a way to discount something before even listening to it. Long live Heavy Metal, in whatever form comes next. And thrash was the best.

Can't get any better than Epidemic of Violence! 1992 was interesting in the fact that while the popularity and volume of good releases began to decline and the sound started to modernize, it still had its fair share of good old-school releases as well as a few all-time highs for the genre or the bands that released during that time. I personally still consider the year to be among thrash's prime era although I can understand if someone feels more indifferent about it. For death/thrash though, 1992 kicked a lot of ass.
