Nihilist

There are several bands out there named Nihilist, one of which was the band that eventually morphed into Entombed. This Nihilist hails from the San Diego area and, as evidenced on 2006's Call Down The Thunder, play a form of thrash-laced speed metal, the kind of stuff that was coming out in the mid-eighties before thrash really took over. This is really more speed metal than true thrash, with a bit of an early Anthrax vibe here and there, enjoyable and well-done particularly given that all of their work is self-financed.
