althow sodom are class

I'd say I like Sodom the most, but it's a close one with Kreator second. Tankard's great too, as well as Exumer.

I really couldn't say which Sodom album I liked best though. Maybe Agent Orange, maybe Persecution Mania. They're all great, I love the newer ones too.

Strangely, I never really got into Destruction. From time to time I listen to their stuff but it doesn't really work for me...

Desturction are harder to get into i agree, and i'm totally turned off by their first EP and album. But release from agony and eternal devastation have some really nice songs and playing in.
I also can't seem to get into exumer, a band which loads of people on here seem to bum off... it just seems a bit clunky for me. I'll keep trying, though..

Agree.

With Destruction, Eternal Devastation is, for me, the best 'pure' thrash album.

Amazing that it has only SEVEN tracks (talk about album length!) each of them totally brilliant. That's the way to do it!

If anything I prefer Possessed by Fire to a lot of Destruction's early stuff.

I prefer Destructions first EP and album (and 2nd, 3rd albums) to most of anything by Kreator or Sodom!

And yeah Exumer are a band I've never been able to get into really, I have tried, maybe time to give em another listen!

I got one question. Do you, as native speakers of English, enjoy listening to the songs by Sodom or Tankard that have German lyrics less or just the same as to the songs in English?
Because I love e.g. 'Der Wachturm' or 'Die stumme Ursel' by Sodom and could imagine that they're less great if you don't really get what's going on or simply can't sing along as well.

It doesn't make a lot of difference to me, although I do kind of enjoy Tankard's lyrics especially, cos they're hilarious!

And even more so, their earlier songs which are badly translated into English - Rundown Quarter for example, has the most ridiculous translations ever!

Infernal Overkill is my most favorite album off german three
but I love Kreator most because they have more great albums than Destruction

Possessed By Fire is a classic for me
some unforgettable songs!

I also rank Paradox "Heresy" and Angel Dust "Into The Dark Past" is classic too!

I hope someday the Angel Dust debut got reissue,
I have a shitty bootleg copy
but those songs in that album is fucking fucking FUCKING GREAT!!!
if anyone havent hear it yet
please check out the songs like "Legions of Destruction" "Gambler"

Vendetta toooooooooo

I saw Kreator in the Ukraine over the weekend.

They were good but a right bunch of cunts.

hmm... I only listen to their debut go and live stay and die
it's a typical old sch german thrash, but I can't found too many thing I like,
and I think those songs are too long for it own good

anyway will listen to their other albums later.
