777 - Whiplash Burning of Atlanta 1987

Whiplash was a New York thrash metal/speed metal band. The band was founded in 1984 in Passaic, New Jersey by the three Tonys: Tony Portaro (vocals, guitar), Tony Scaglione (drums) and Tony Bono (bass). Joe Cangelosi replaced Tony Scaglione in 1986 when he left for a small stint with Slayer. The second Whiplash record "Ticket To Mayhem" belongs undoubtlessly to the most important discs in Thrash Metal. The absolute classic is definitively "Burning Of Atlanta", a true holy Thrash milestone, simple, straight, in your face and with a divine double bass assault in the chorus.
