Death In Action - Toxic Waste (1988)

When was the last time you heard a thrash metal album with the lyrics, "Only when the last fish has been caught..." ?! This is obscure German thrash that never really rises above mediocre and under produced, but hell, this is still essential for those who like to dig out lesser known species. There's nothing original about it, but Death In Action do try their hardest to make this seven-track record a rewarding experience, throwing in a few nice acoustic passages - as most thrash bands did - and the occasional buzzing riff, nothing really fancy, rather limited but better than Shitsnot. 6.5/10
