Ten years after the first sparks of thrash metal’s fiery 2000s-era rebirth, Roots revisits the savage leading edge of progress by post-nuclear pilgrims including Power Trip, Havok, Dust Bolt, Lost Society, Hellbringer, Vektor, Suicidal Angels, Ultra-Violence, and more. The thrash revival has now lasted longer than the original thrash metal era, and the day of reckoning has arrived. Prepare for a total armageddon assault…on Roots!

Check the essential origins of thrash metal with hundreds of the earliest photos of Metallica, Slayer, Possessed, Testament, Megadeth, Exodus, Forbidden, Death Angel, and others in MURDER IN THE FRONT ROW: Shots From the Bay Area Thrash Metal Epicenter.
