Raise the Shield - Release Yourself

It's terrible that these guys haven't done anything since this album; it's easily one of the best power/thrash records in my collection (admittedly there's not a lot of competition). Raise the Shield combines a great sense of traditional USPM (tempered and streamlined with hints of Japanese shit ala X-Japan) with an aggressive, burly thrash presence. It's got a ton of energy, sick, catchy riffs, and a surprisingly solid rhythm section as well. Unsigned, unknown, unappreciated- exactly the sort of thing I want to get out there.
