Marquee Records (Brazil) has just released two anthologies from two classic 80s Thrash bands. Definitely check them out - essential stuff.

Armoros - Piece by Piece

Armoros is one of the best Canadian Thrash Metal bands ever who unfortunately disbanded without releasing their debut album. Their history goes back to 1985 in Victoria, BC. After 5 demos and one AWESOME album (that never saw the light of day), they gave up… But now we have the opportunity of hearing all the technique and rage from those Canadian Thrashers, including one of the best bios ever written about a Metal Band, tons of pictures, flyers, etc, all splited into 3 CDs covering their whole life. Also comes into a box with a sticker. LIMITED!!!

Devastation - Dispensible Bloodshed

Together with Possessed and Death, here we have the forefathers of Death Metal. Going back to 1986, 4 friends from Chicago created a band which was at least 10 years ahead of its time. A lot of bands never actually had a fair vocalist, fewer a good one but Devastation managed to have TWO of the greatest vocalists in Thrash / Death Metal History. This 3 CD box contains all songs ever recorded by this band, including some that were only played live, but have never been recorded. Inside the box extensive liner notes with bio, pictures, flyers and also a sticker. LIMITED!!!
