Summary: 1989. The tail end of the thrash scene; with one notable exception... Annihilator. The Alice in Hell record, recorded in 1988 and released in 1989 on Roadrunner, was a culmination of the entire genre. Embodying elements of speed metal, hardcore punk, proto-death metal and every permutation of thrash, Alice in Hell is a fitting goodbye to a scene that brought extreme metal to a wider audience and made way for the underground to rise. This entry of the Canadian Metal series, we discuss the album track-by-track in an effort to better understand our neighbors to the North's vast wealth of metal skills and influence.
