On a side note. For those not in the know. Metal Church are about as 'extreme' as Dio and Queensryche. |

But historically, in the 80's when the albums 'Metal Church,' 'The Dark' and 'Blessing in Disguise' were released, they were part of the second wave of Thrash metal, alongside banks such as Testament, Exodus, Overkill and Vio-Lence

Overkill (1st album 1985), Exodus (1985) and Metal Church (1984) were definitely first wave along with Slayer (1983). Just saying. |

Taking 1983 as 'year zero'. the 'big four' of Thrash were were 'Tallica, Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer Being pedantic (which is something I hate doing), the 'first wave' of thrash bands that were inspired by them included Death Angel, Destruction, Annihilator, Exciter, Exodus, Kreator, Vio-lence, Possessed, Raven, Sabbat, Onslaught, Testament (who are arguable the fifth band in the big four), Sacred Reich, Sanctity, Tankard, Xentrix By the time we get to the mid 80's, thrash no longer existed - instead it had splintered into various sub-genres including Black Metal, Speed Metal, Death Metal, Doom Metal, Stoner Metal, Power Metal, Symphonic Metal, Sooty Metal, Bag of Chips Metal, Binky Metal not forgetting Uncle Tom Cobley and All Metal! But at the end of the day, it is all hard rock music and should stand proudly alongside Led Zeppelin, Motorhead, The Who, The Kinks, Iron Maiden etc

If I was pedantic, I would state that 12 is hardly a ''couple of words"!
