I suggest you the first Crumbsuckers "Life of dreams" Max Reverb said:
I never heard of The Crumbsuckers but i picked up a 12" of theres a few days ago at goodwill! "beast on my back" very thrashy / crossover stuff.
"age of quarrel" has been suggested to me so many times I gotta check it out.

Doc Sanchez said:"Masturbatory guitar work", haha, exactly! You can't say it any better!
I always loved these guitar solos which seem to have no structure at all, but still you always can say whether it's King or Hanneman playing. They always feel like some otherworldly noise, more like the screams of the damned in hell than guitars. But I like the brutal riffs better than the solos, they're so powerful, played with so much pressure. And Rick Rubin did a good job producing the album - clear, with loads of pressure, but still dirty as hell. Reminds me more of, say, the Cro-Mags than of other Metal acts (especially scandinavian Death Metal bands from end of the 80s, beginning of the 90s often had a pretty weak sound).
As you said: Slayer rules and leaves nothing more to be said.
