Band of The Week - Heathen!

Last Tuesday I talked about Heathen's most recent album, The Evolution Of Chaos.  Since then I have been listening to them a lot and I like what I hear.  They are classic thrash; something about the vocals reminds me of Annihilator.   This band is definitely worth checking out!

THOUGHTS:  I know a lot of obscure bands, but this list of metal releases has me wondering who the fuck all these people are. 
My pick of the week goes to HEATHEN.  Seriously, this album is great.  I was not expecting it to be so good, but once I started listening I couldn't stop.  It can only be described as thrash.  Nothing fancy or proggressive about it- just good old solid thrash.
