Nuclear Assault - Alive Again (2003)

Nice to see an old school thrash act releasing a live album in the moden era. There were quite a few good thrash live albums in the '80s and early '90s, mostly released in the form of EPs, i.e. Testament, Forbidden, Sacred Reich. Nuclear Assault were, and still are a legendary thrash act, made all the more distinctive by Connelly's rasp. This twelve tracker picks the bones from some of the bands best records, and features classic face rippers such as 'Brainwashed,' 'Critical Mass,' 'Game Over' and the humorous 'Hang The Pope' as a closer. Can't really go wrong with this although being there would have been much sweatier! 7/10
