aloof wrote: keeping with the 90s thrash theme, flots have some turkeys too:  Don't let that album cover stop you from listening to this album. Cuatro is fantastic. Severely underrated I would say. Just don't go into it expecting speed/power metal à la Doomsday, or outright thrash metal like No Prayer for the Dying. It's similar to how Metallica and Megadeth may have slowed down a bit at the beginning of the 1990s but they still focused in on writing some pretty powerful, and moving songs. The production is much better than on When the Storm Comes Down. Cuatro is sharp, focused and intense in it's own way. Eric's vocals are one of the highlights too. It's got to be one of his best performances on record. And the well crafted lyrics really add to the whole experience. Speaking more on that album cover, I'm not sure what the helicopter has to do with the record but somehow it fits the mood of the album. I don't think it belongs in this thread at all really, but I just wanted to talk about this album a bit. |

Trust me when I say it gets worse!  Also, since Czech bands are being mentioned, does anyone ever noticed just how many dicks are on the covers for the first couple of !T.O.O.H.! albums?! |

That seems more fitting for a low grade Europower band. I checked out their stuff on Youtube and it's actually pretty nice. Definitely not fitting for that cover. A lot of Annihilator's artwork is pretty cheap looking, But this is probably the worst of theirs IMO:

Criteria was already posted earlier in the thread. And yeah, Addictive is great, basically totally unknown Australian thrash. I shared them on the MA Facebook page to help spread the word a while back. |

The guy on the far left is indicating with his mouth he wants to give someone a blowjob, and the guy between "dani" and "shagrath" appears as if he's getting creepily aroused by all the guys in leather around him. |

Speaking of horrible thrash covers, meet Havok's Pwn 'em All. It looks like something I might have drawn when I was 8 to 9 years old.  Don't know how anyone could possibly release something that looks like this. At some point, somebody involved must have had some doubts regarding if it was really a good idea or not. |

I think the name Pwn em All is worse than the cover art. Thrash for PC gamer nerds! This band doesn't kill poseurs, they pwn n00bs! |
