Whiplash sounds like you throw Slayer into a blender with the riff-centric focus of early Metallica, and you get a chaotic concoction of gnarly and infectious. Whiplash released their debut album Power And Pain in 1986, and it's a blistering reminder that thrash metal doesn't need to be the fastest or the most polished; it has to be gritty, raw, a son of a nasty fucking piece where your soul gets shredded by Tony Portaro’s riffs.

This song is pretty awesome, even if the vocals sound kinda weak

Didn't like this on the first listen and don't like it any more now. Musically the album is decent, but the vocals aren't that good IMO. "Power Thrashing Death" is definitely better than rest of the songs, the main riff is just excellent.
