Thrashback is the sixth full-length studio album by American thrash metal band Whiplash. It was released via Massacre Records and follows the previous year's offering, Sit Stand Kneel Prey.
The album marked a return to the three-piece line-up which recorded the band's first two albums between 1985 and 1987 - famously all called Tony. In 1999, Massacre Records released a compilation of previously unavailable demo and live tracks, entitled Messages in Blood, before the untimely death of Tony Bono.
Loudwire named Thrashback the best thrash metal album of 1998.[1]
