February 8, 1989 - 2024: 35 years of: Annihilation Principle.

The Bay's pinnacle.

The glorious Class Of '88 possesses: VIO-LENCE, FORBIDDEN and DEATH ANGEL. San Francisco's thrashmetal domination is a fuckin' Force Of Nature. 1989 would, once again, break the speed of sound with the legacy of TESTAMENT ...and local lethals LÄÄZ ROCKIT.

Rabid rage explodes as "Fire In The Hole" ablazes the scene. Face-ripping riffing and face-ripping thrash-tone, this is a thrashmetal assault on the senses. Mega metal mosh rules under "Mob Justice" and the fast brutal "Bad Blood" is an assured pit-gathering.

The darker melodic "Shadow Company" turns from acoustic to head-plower in an instant, while the crystal pure power thrash of "Chasin' Charlie" is a metal machine-gun massacre. The "Holiday In Cambodia" DEAD KENNEDYS-reprise is also a cool add-on.

These motherfuckers are a crafty bunch. Perfecting their approach, from 1987's Know Your Enemy LP thrashy-powermetal showdown, these rockets are locked and loaded ...this is not a drill.

After an almost complete band facelift, high-stamina singer Michael Coons and his new crew, would provide more mosh with 1991's palm-muting fiesta Nothing's Sacred CD ...thrashmetal's last shiny year.

RIP Victor Agnello (1964-2014)
RIP Willy Lange (1961-2018)
