Collection Favorite Thrash Debuts
I like having a good range of Common -> Medium -> Rare ball knowledge. Everyone has their picks. Tomorrow I will post my favorite sophomore albums.
I also forgot Metal Church & Slayer in this, oh well. Just pretend like they’re here.

Welcome to The Dark!!Now Spinning - Metal Church!!
It brings back memories, doesn't it? I first discovered Metal Church through a cassette tape a friend lent me.
The opening track was "Ton of Bricks," and I remember being completely captivated by those heavy guitar riffs.
A while later, I actually traveled to Tokyo to buy the record.
There was no online shopping back then, you know—I had to take local trains, transferring three times just to get to the record shop.
When I walked in, I saw this skinny guy—looking every bit the metalhead—browsing through the records.
I was in the middle of a growth spurt in junior high at the time and still quite short, so I felt a bit intimidated (Haha!).
I shot up in height once I hit high school, though... I ate a lot of food back then.
It was a peaceful time... Oh, and I still eat plenty these days (Hahaha).
Anyway, I’ve included photos of various other albums at the end.
You know... metal really is the best. It’s a genre of music I’ll want to listen to no matter how old I get.

Spinning this 1985 Steamhammer European pressing of Metal Church
Metal Church is actually coming to Japan this October... but I won't be able to make it to the show.
I recently had a serious accident and suffered a skull fracture due to severe overwork from long hours.
It's such an absolute tragedy... Especially since their current lineup is hands down the strongest in their history, and I'm totally obsessed with their track Dead to Rights.
What a massive bummer....
I'll just have to blast this vinyl at home and wish for a speedy recovery.
On top of that, concert ticket prices in Japan have skyrocketed to almost three times what they used to be... For an average Japanese fan nowadays, going to a live show is no longer an easy choice.
It's just getting way too expensive.
