Ignominious Incarceration - Of Winter Born (2009)

Ripping from Bath, UK; Ignominious Incarceration pack a lot of styles into their version of Death Metal. They are well equipped with many various styles of metal that it can be hard to just put them in a single genre and throw them in the dirt. They keep the tempo flowing perfectly with mixes of thrash, brutal death, and a few breakdowns to rip shit up. I just threw a few bands to what they somewhat sound like but it is up to you on how to think of them. For myself, I put them in the same category as Benighted; death, grind, and fucking brutal. Download and enjoy.

Toxic Holocaust - Evil Never Dies (2003)

Crazed bullet-belt-and-high-top thrash metal from the fiery pits of Maryland. Toxic Holocaust carries on in the grand tradition of Destruction, Kreator, Whiplash, and Bathory with songs about nuclear war, Satan, and other wholesome themes. Joel Grind is the only member of this "band," but this doesn’t sound like a wimpy Pro-Tools vanity project, the sound is fully realized and Joel packs as much of a punch as any four or five denim-and-leather clad heshers ever has. Unlike many current speed/thrash bands, Joel has a knack for writing catchy songs with plenty of hooks. Standout tracks include the seething mid-tempo "Summon The Beast" and headbanging anthem "Metal Attack". This is the soundtrack to getting ripped on magic marker fumes and cheap domestic beer in your parents’ basement in 1986. Kills posers on contact.

The cover was done by none other than Ed Repka who's known for his work with Megadeth, Death, Venom, Evil Dead, etc. Thrash metal or die!
