2019 reissue on black vinyl with lyric insert

Germany was home to many thrash bands throughout the past 30 years. We have seen acts such as Exumer, Darkness, Mekong Delta, Deathrow, and Paradox leave an everlasting impression. However, one group was sadly ignored from the pack. This group was speed/thrash band Grinder. Grinder released their debut album Dawn For The Living back in 1988. Truly this one would be easy to call real speed/thrash. It has a lot of melodic moments and several early Blind Guardian comparisons, but for the most part it’s still totally in your face and catchy as hell. Grinder would go on to get thrashier with their next releases and would leave the speed elements behind. Grinder may not be insanely influential or original, but what they did they did extremely well. Thrash fans should definitely check them out.
