Hatchet is just okay for me, and it's only one album that I like. Other than that, they remind me of Havok but not as technical or good at writing song hooks.
Imo, Havoc is the best of the NWOTM.

Havok, Evile and Vektor are all pretty good bands. I remember liking Vindicator fairly well.

Sadly, most of the NWOTM is forgettable. I listened to a LOT of those bands back when it was emerging. They brought the attitude and overall sound, but most of those bands apparently didn't think memorable songwriting was part of the equation.

My favorites out of that era are Gama Bomb, Lich King, Havok, and Warbringer.
(Vindicator is pretty great too. Also Violator)

I also like 4 Arm though they're not pure thrash.

Three or four Journey albums and then the first two Sixx A.M. albums.

Toxik "Dis Morta"
So ... the first track feels like classic Toxik, despite the other single I shared before. Interesting to see how this album goes all the way. I'll be sure to share my thoughts once I finish listening.

Edit:
Okay, I've listened through the whole album. It's definitely more speed metal than the first single indicated. BUT, overall I'm not a fan, quite a few of the songs are agressively atheistic and antagonistic towards christians. I probably won't listen to this album often.

Broken by the Scream "RISE into CHAOS"
all female Progressive Deathcore from Japan. These girls have some nasty gutturals and high screams. Reminds me of Rings of Saturn, but with jazz breaks and a lot of groove.

You heard the latest album, Freedom?

I have, and I don't like it. The bass overwhelmes everything, but the whole album seems a bit more "easy listening" that I was expecting. It has some moments, but it doesn't have much to hold my attention overall.
