For decades, UK thrash metal has been the most underrated and overlooked member of the metal family. Criminally ignored, and considered secondary to its American, German and Brazilian equivalents, the genre has nevertheless continued to survive and thrive, rising from the ashes on more than one occasion. The UK’s thrash scene has generated a wealth of amazing music, often in the face of adversity and apathy, and Contract In Blood tells the whole story—warts n all. From humble DIY beginnings in backstreet pubs to misrepresentation in the music press and being misunderstood by major labels on the world stage and beyond. Featuring Venom Onslaught Sabbat Evile Xentrix Slammer Gama Bomb Acid Reign Re-Animator Lawnmower Deth English Dogs Mutant Virus D.A.M. Sacrilege Deathwish Toranaga Warfare Pitiful Reign Hydra Vein Shrapnel Hellbastard Sylosis Metal Messiah SSS Purgatory Send More Paramedics Warhammer Tortoise Corpse Anihilated Suicide Watch Cerebral Fix Seventh Angel Holosade Metal Duck Atomkraft Decimator Pendemia Reign of Fury Amnesia Obliteration Drunken State Adrenicide and more than 50 other unsung UK metal anti-heroes.
