Lute FP It simply is not possible to have too much good thrash in my collection.
Einherjar

Einherjar Soldier plays Thrash Metal spiced up with their own flavour. Think of the result of Megadeth having a baby with (early) Skid Row and you should have a good idea of their sound.

Singer Phil González often makes me think of Sebastian Bach. Early Phil Anselmo must also be an influence.

This is a well composed album, with clever lyrics, that rocks as much as it thrash! Support them!

RATMAN Totally underrated.
Thrash vocals like Paul Ballof in his golden times...and he is able to do more...
Mr Anselmo anyone?!
...and then some...

Killer. Favorite track: The Great Western Oligarchy.

MediZen If there is a spanish band that can keep alive the sound of thrash metal as Megadeth or Anthrax, definitely is Soldier.
This guys revive the flame of most classical times, old school in current times

PD: 'The Sleeping on Reason' is request by the coronel, please post it or report it 🤘 Favorite track: The Great Western Oligarchy.

MindOverFour Soldier makes some intriguing thrash. It sounds like Dangerous Toys made an Overkill record. It is not a joke that this group from Spain tags their thrash as "southern rock"--there are songs on here that sound like Zakk Wylde/Black Label. It all sounds paradoxical (there is a Type O Negative cover song here too!?), but it not only works...it completely shreds. Favorite track: Axis of Evil.

Christoholic 03:47
Ain't it just great When the clergy reshapes The values we live by today? Progress or faith - Choose the latter You'd better not deny That their path is the way They threw me out and Despised my soul 'Cause I don't believe in Jesus Auspicious hopes Influential lies To those tied up to their leashes Christoholic! They'll come in pairs Their intentions, declared You'll be another prey to ensnare Settle the dare - You're a skeptic Just try to clarify That you're not into prayer And still they try to Pull on your leg It's no use to talk or reason I was dead for Billions of years Drop the issue, it's not like I really cared But they'll find a way To bear their word And play a gambit to expand the herd Brain-dead old men Thou shall obey Conjoined in spirit for their child buffet FAITH!! Follow me I will set you free From your own fantasy! PRAY!! Shut your heart and Turn on your brain You've been fooled from the start! SIN!! Live and die On an endless lie Kiss your leisure goodbye HATE!! You're the target The guns are locked Christoholics will make your brain stop! Say what you will When you come up to me And preach on abortions and gays Kneel down and pray Keep your passions at bay Subdue those who wander astray But I know your- Beliefs are false You wish to rack up our money Deny your life To deny your death That's as foolish as it can possibly get And shrug off your sins To find relief When God's the reason you need no motif You dig a hole To toss your loss Open your eyes, you're your own fucking boss! FAITH!! Follow me I will set you free From your own fantasy! PRAY!! Shut your heart and Turn on your brain You've been fooled from the start! SIN!! Live and die On an endless lie Kiss your leisure goodbye HATE!! You're the target The guns are locked Christoholics will make your brain STOP

Axis of Evil 03:30
Deus vult! Smite the axis of evil! Shades of terror in diguise They'll kill you and take your children away News preaching of the apocalypse Black omens covering your life's grey Creating monsters by weaving the lies Knitting your media Moving the masses with their fear to die Knowledge is power The power that they wish to hide! Quenchless appetite Never satisfied World be pacified Axis turning right Counter measures take its course Resource wars to keep evil at bay Time's rushing through the gears of war And midnight is coming our way! Gather your offspring and hide for your life Fearing reprisal We will protect you from your sacrifice Terror is reborn The axis of evil is nigh! Justice misapplied Steel and fire fly Bringers of the blight Axis turning right* Falling away From chaos to doom Freedom's betrayed About time you knew Power decays Prepare for the coup Keep in place The Axis' turning right

Genital Wert 03:56
Hey society Here's what really grinds my gears Something that has risen up in recent years It's a bad curse But it's not just for me Many people today are suffering this disease Ominous parasite Warping your mood like Spanish fly* Your life's now on stand-by He won, now you're a goon Your head is ending like a prune Abandon hope... there's no treatment for this one!! Genital Wert! Coming to ruin your party Genital Wert! Should've got your education God damn What is up with this prick? Corrupted members rise but never please Denied No more playing the flute Can't cut the costs when you can cut a part of you Fine use of rhetoric Your problems hiding away from the eye The illness still resides Most people feel betrayed A lumpish weiner ruins the day You're seeking aid... but you're not getting tested!! Genital Wert! Destroys your reputation Genital Wert! Unwanted among dicks Genital Wert! This is over your head Genital Wert! A bone no one wants to chew It takes its toll I am losing control Cause I'm my own foe Gotta make up my mind Strengthen your faith Shrug it off and go forth Possessed (You're a tool, You're a tool...) Genital Wert! Coming to ruin your party Genital Wert! Destroys your reputation Genital Wert! A bald, decaying dickhead Genital Wert! You can't kill It, It has roots

Tianxia 04:11
Suspend the bounds of reason Accept the coming blight The grey that fuses black with white The end of the cold season Forfeit the bounds of sanity The beast that dwells within humanity It's calling me The rush engulfs my soul and let's me see We walk as one In our kingdom moshing never sets I'll fuel the sound and become whole Beyond the blood, the tears and sweat The more you give, the more you get Endurance always vivid A moment of release The summoned strife that mixes war and peace The feast of life and spirit A makeshift brotherhood The final trial for those who've understood I live in thee Devour my essence and you'll set me free Follow the creed A drop of blood within the bony sea Brothers of soul In our kingdom moshing never sets Our trail was carved not long ago Live on the adrenaline roulette Toss in your fortunes and regrets In our kingdom moshing never sets One show is over, time to roam Along the road from test to test Now join your kin and fuck the rest

Pilgrims 04:51
I lost my mind On the way to find myself As years go by The cracks impair the shell Expectations masking reality The fuels of life let loose The castle turns to sand The swan becomes the goose I made the choice of those who bet Judging the painting by its silhouette Waning slow Forgo the gift bestowed On he who lives not by the code Gleaming glow False hopes along the road Feigning footprints on black snow A long way back from home The path drags on And the wounds leave scars to mend From dusk till dawn New lives are born and spent In the search for an old reason to be There's never peace of mind Within the rusted hide The essence of mankind I've learned the hard ways of this life The mind and soul under the knife Waning slow Forgo the gift bestowed On he who lives not by the code Gleaming glow False hopes along the road Feigning footprints on black snow A long way back from home

Welcome to a World of success Extortion's the key Corruption's in excess Stealing's by decree Your position of power Lets you craft exploits High up inside your tower Setting up your ploys Well, justice may be blind But all that dirty money stinks All your fortune's gonna crumble When she starts to dig a fink I hope that it was worth the while To cheat and rob the state When the money you had legally Was more than enough to live Corrupted class Join the place where people plug your gas Justice has been cast God's sentence: Hell inside your ass In this age and century Hell does not exist No place to pay for your sins No devil's kiss Now we've got something better And it's very real Ultimate punishment Time to close the deal Well it's time to meet your new friends And they may not like you in Better turn your other cheek When they go punch that stupid grin Remember when you boasted 'Bout your money and your grace? Now you got your ass in prison Everybody knows your face! Corrupted class Join the place where people plug your gas Justice has been cast God's sentence: Hell inside your ass You've lived an nefarious life Thousands of homeless Screaming for justice Now that your power's denied Dragged to your punishment Hell is within your behind Corrupted! Sex in Prison! Corrupted! Sex in Prison!

The establishment and the media scheme Conspiracy starts to bud Chemtrails and new vaccines Polluting our children's blood I've got my opinion It's all a masterplan! Hear me out! Prescriptions poison you Siphillis? Just drink some mandrake juice Tetanus? A massage will make it pass Gonorrhea? Stick needles in your ass! There's no doctor I can trust I've ditched all my medicines Now I'm feeling more robust They were messing with my genes! I've opened my eyes I've seen behind the shroud! Hear me out! Prescriptions poison you HIV? Just quit the drug abuse Appendix hurts? It's probably just gas Diarrhea? Just try to plug your ass! Come and take my hand For your mind we must expand Seek the truths you've been denied The grim secrets of this life Fight the powers of this World! Hear me out! Prescriptions poison you Whooping cough? Just don't you let it loose Got the pox? You'll have to wear a mask Polio? It's time to drag your ass! Broken free Now follow me I promise you the truth you've been denied

Black No. 1 06:58
I went looking for trouble And boy... I found her She's in love with herself She likes the dark And on her milk white neck The Devil's mark Now it's All Hallows Eve The moon is full Will she trick or treat? I bet she will She will! Happy Halloween, baby She's got a date at midnight With Nosferatu Oh baby, Lilly Munster Ain't got nothing on you Well when I called her evil She just laughed And cast that spell on me Boo Witch Craft! Yeah you wanna go out 'Cause it's raining and blowing You can't go out 'Cause your roots are showing Dye 'em black Dye 'em black Black black black black No. 1 Black black black black No. 1. Little wolf skin boots And clove cigarettes An erotic funeral For which she's dressed Her perfume smells like burning leaves Everyday is Halloween Yeah you wanna go out 'Cause it's raining and blowing You can't go out 'Cause your roots are showing Dye 'em black Dye 'em black Black black black black No. 1 Black black black black No. 1 Loving you Loving you, Love loving you Was like loving the dead Black black black black No. 1 She dyes'em black Black No. 1

Warbourne 03:59
Jumping out the choppers Breaking through the lines Seeking and destroying all that moves on sight and Fighting for what you think is right All the treaties broken Invasion's on the way Sadistic, dim barbarians chasing on your back Get ready for the incoming attack Do unto others... What you'd want for you Give us a new world Help us get through Spare no fucking innocents There are no to be found These people are just different from you and I They'll kill you if you they don't go down Question not your orders Watch your brothers' back We're here to fight for freedom and blast some ass Then back to camp and hit the sack It's human condition You know it's true Sleep tight in your tent Dream red, white, blue Wake up and smell the scent of death The peacebringing delusion of a man who fights in Hell Wake up and smell the rotten breath In words of septic raiders who promise a better world Wake up... and smell the scent of death Then come to the conclusion that it's never gonna work Wake up and smell the scent of death A godly-given mission, a man who's shaping Hell Wake up and smell the scent of death The peacebringing delusion of a man who fights in Hell Wake up and smell the rotten breath In words of septic raiders who promise a better world Wake up... and smell the scent of death Then come to the conclusion that it's never gonna work Wake up, exhaling your last breath A money-driven mission... a man who dies in Hell Warbourne!

You're not rising above the ground The assholes will push you around You're sunk in shit almost neck-deep All the abuses that you condone Will make you live like a drone Now bite the pasture with the sheep It takes a heart to help the weak ones It takes a spine to stand up proud It takes some guts to challenge power It takes a brain to unveil the shroud What does it take to obey? To follow the finger that's pointing the way What does it take? What does it take? To be one whithin the dim flock where they prey What does it take To never consider to wander astray? What does it take? What does it take? To live without being awake Masters reaping what you have sown Mill your work under their stone More bread and circus for the meek This rotten system you won't upturn If you do battle inside an urn You see and hear but you can't speak It takes a heart to help the weak ones It takes a spine to stand up proud It takes some guts to challenge power It takes a brain to unveil the shroud What does it take to obey? To follow the finger that's pointing the way What does it take? What does it take? To be one whithin the dim flock where they prey What does it take To never consider to wander astray? What does it take? What does it take? To live without being awake Decieved by the lies, they will make you work and die Power to the idiots, thy lord you shan't defy Climb onto the board just to be another pawn Living on their rules, the Middle Ages dawn ... Again Welcome to the real world What does it take to obey? To follow the finger that's pointing the way What does it take? What does it take? To be one whithin the dim flock where they prey What does it take To never consider to wander astray? What does it take? What does it take? To live without being awake What does it take to obey? To follow the finger that's pointing the way What does it take? What does it take? To be one whithin the dim flock where they prey What does it take To never consider to wander astray? What does it take? To aid and obey The Great Western Oligarchy?
