I use to love this band Morbid Saint back in 1990. They played in my town in front of like 20 kids (literally 15 year olds) and I remember being impressed by them. Acid Reign was another UK band I didn't mind but if you guys want to see some cool history here:
there was a Demoliton Hammer video from 1992 in Farmington, CT at the Acme Train Depot but its no longer up on Youtube.com. Freaking insane show. It was for the song Carnivorous Obsession and you see 30 kids beating the living shit out of each other and skinheads on stage doing kung-fu! I hope that video gets uploaded again soon!!!! please please please. Stupid youtube won't let you save videos...
That MORBID SAINT album rules... There's no way to save these Google vids as something that'll play in Winamp/Windows Media, is there?

NOPE. oh well, Morbid Saint was a cool thrash band back in the hey day. I'm shocked someone brought them up!!! They didn't last very long. Didn't get much attention either. But thanks for that link, that was really cool to see!!!!
Acid Reign was never that great. They were like Xentrix, metalliclones of 1988.
I saw that youtube vid of Demolition Hammer in Farmington, ct and that was a sick video. the place was jammed packed wall to wall and the pit just opened up for that song carnivorus obsession. it was weird, there were more hardcore short hair lookin kids than long hair metal head types. there was a sheer terror banner behind them, maybe that is why there was a gang behind the drum kit all doin that rapper stuff and kung fu dancing.

Spectrum of Death is a masterpiece.

Acid Reign was a thrash metal metalliclone justice for all/anthrax band from the UK. pretty obscure band but they had their strong following in the USA or at least in my old high school kids use to wear their shirts. Acid Reign was popular in 1988-1991 so

both bands were crazy sick. Morbid Saint was very very obscure but they played out a little bit. I think they did only one US Tour that didnt go so well. there are tribute pages out there for them.
acid reign never played in the USA i don't think. obnoxious was their best and last CD. yeah they did sound like ...and justice for all but with a twist. that bootleg shows them going pretty crazy.
