Only Thrash Thread. Exclamation Point. Part II.

[spike_8bkp]

So, it took three tries to delete the last one, but the warm, fuzzy feeling finally came over me when it disappeared.

Regardless, this is the new and improved Only Thrash Metal thread. If you want to talk about Thrash Metal, this is where to do it. That includes Children of Bodom, for the bitter ones. Our resident chemicalsolutio will be posting a list of recommended Thrash bands - listen to them, talk about them, enjoy.

[chemicalsolutio]

I thought I?d put some recommendations of thrash/speed bands on the first page in order to incite people to discover new bands. Many of those bands have a link to a site where you can find mp3?s, but if there isn?t any link, you can maybe find some audio files at http://vibrationsofdoom.com/test/index.html . The only problem is that they are .ram files. The list is subject to change whenever I feel like it. I will be updating it, adding new bands or removing bands I judge inappropriate. And I still don?t know what I?m going to do with Black/Thrash and Death/Thrash bands yet, so I?ll figure it out later. Here?s the list:

[narmi]

I will definately go through that list when I have some time

Greatly Appreciated dude

:cheers:

[Vercingetorix]

I suggest to everyone to go listen to Anacrusis NOW.

Thanks. I might just enjoy this cookie to an old Death Angel CD.

[the_beastly_one]

There's a lot there I haven't heard, but of the ones I have, I'd definitely recommend the likes of Sacred Reich, Sodom, Kreator and Overkill to any up-and-coming thrash fans. And on a side not, Annihilator= thrash, uh, they don't sound very thrashy to me....Jeff Waters is more kind of swingy, they don't 'chug' that often.

[SickMetal]

Devastation are a pretty kickass thrash band.

[radio_schizo]

Man...Defiance are great.

I've been meaning to check them out for a long time.

:cheers:

What have you heard of them? Listen to Alice in Hell and Never, Neverland. That stuff is genious and pretty good thrash.

BTW, good list chemicalstudio. I have heard of the majority of those bands but the ones I don't know I'l check out.

[LedZeppelin]

One question: how the hell do you pronounce "bodom"?

b-aw-dumb?

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

Anthrax+Annihilator= Thrash PWN.

While I'm here, why don't I bring up an age old debate that seems to never have a definitive answer.

How do you classify Venom?

Yes, yes, they released "Black Metal", laying the roots for the genre, but you have to admit- Venom sounds nothing like black metal at all.

So where do they fit in? Are they to be considered BM simply for an album title, or are they to be genrified by their sound in and of itself?

[unfathomable_bo]

I've always thought of them as a transition band between NWOBHM and modern thrash.

In a similar way that Possessed was a transition band between thrash and death.

[RideTheLighting]

What are other well known thrash metal bands other then the big 4(Metallica,Megadeth,Slayer,Anthrax) and Testament,Kreator,Motorhead, and Exodus

[reed]

Woo! Cyclone Temple! I found an old CD of theirs, and purchaed it solely on the name, expecting it to be just empty-headed power metal lmao. But instead of Power, I got PWNAGE!!!

Listen now. Recommended for people who like more melodic vocals/music.

EDIT: the CD was I Hate, Therefore I Am. I should have guessed it wasn't power by the name ;)

[DespisE]

that's one hell of a fucking list, well i have for at least one monthe of dwl content....

Annihilator, Nuclear Assualt.

[deadskinmask]

^Don't forget Dark Angel or Destruction. They are fairly well known.

On Venom Topic:I think they are Thrash/Speed, because to me they sound very similiar to Overkill.

On no topic:are Coroner Thrash? I'm in no position to judge because I haven't listened to any of there stuff in months and I was just thinking of them.

While I'm here, why don't I bring up an age old debate that seems to never have a definitive answer.

How do you classify Venom?

Yes, yes, they released "Black Metal", laying the roots for the genre, but you have to admit- Venom sounds nothing like black metal at all.

So where do they fit in? Are they to be considered BM simply for an album title, or are they to be genrified by their sound in and of itself?

Well I have that problem with Black/thrash bands: Celtic Frost, Venom, Occult... and Death/thrash bands. I do not want to include them very much on the first page, but they can be discussed. And I also did not put Diamond Head, who were discussed of in the last thread, since they're not even thrash.

@RidetheLightning: Destruction, Overkill, Sodom, Annihilator,

new trash thread, nice.
anyway, I always have a hard time fitting bands into genres, but I think that PanterA would fit here right?
anyway, I just got Far Beyond Driven and Reinventing the Steel (the shop was selling every CD in there for half the price, so I got both of them for ?16.25. nice, aye?), and wanted to know what do you guys think of the cd's and the band itself. If that's ok with you. :D

[SickMetal]

^^Pantera fit in the last thrash thread, I guess they do here too. Reinventing the Steel and Far Beyond Driven are good, but the other three albums are better IMO

Holy **** that was terrible. It sounded way more like Nickelback at times than Metallica. It's definitely not thrash.

As for Perzonal War, I see the ressemblance, I downloaded a song on their site and it was also good. Manditory are a Metallica ripp-off http://www.manditory.com/

[SickMetal]

^^Manditory have some cool riffs but the vocals sound like mainstream rock or something.

Is there a release date for the new Dark Angel? I can't find it on the site.

Well the First Sin Demo had great songs/riffs on it and vocals sounded less like mainstream rock than what the new album will sound like.

@RTL: I love the album Doomsday For the Deceiver, but I can't say I'm a big fan. Vocals are too clean and music not aggressive enough.

Im seeing Anthrax today :headbang:

Hope they play Deathrider!!!!!!!

[chemicalsolutio]

I've finally decided to check Anthrax out, so I bought: Spreading the Disease and State of Euphoria. I'm kind of disppointed. Spreading The Disease has some good songs, but it does not sound like thrash very much. Sounds more like some heavy metal to me, so I was kind of disappointed to see how many people adore them and consider them thrash, but whatever.

[SickMetal]

I like "Among the Living", it's the only Anthrax album I have from their prime era and it's quite good.

Anthrax have the most NWOBHM influence in their music, but songs like "Among the Living" and "Caught in a Mosh" are definatly thrash.

I think Anthrax are a very good band, but not one of my favorite thrash bands. I could see why you're dissapointed since alot of people worship them.

[chemicalsolutio]

Anyone listened to Dekapitator? There's a link on the first page. I found them to be very promising. Although they haven't released an album in years, I like them alot.

[SorrowIsMe]

Belladona kicks fucking ass! :headbang:

They even did A New Level cover of Pantera.

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

^Yes, yes he does. Joey w/ Anthrax is the best there is.

Among the Living and Speading the Disease= Goddamn amazing.

Among the Living is definately thrash, chemical you should check that out!

I love Finished with the Dogs. Quite fast and heavy, I was really surprised and the fact that they are female vocals in thrash adds a little touch. I haven't finished listening to the new album yet, but it doesn't seem that bad. Vocals seem harsher though.

[Vercingetorix]

Has anyone heard of Corrupted? I think they're from australia and they had all their songs on a website, and thier songs are very short.

[Vercingetorix]

ok I found their site, they changed their name to Corrupt, they're from Sweden, and are unsigned. If you want to view the menu, just highlight the logo downwards and it should appear.

Corrupt (http://www.shotgundeath.tk/)

[flying_phoenix]

awesome list. im really getin into this annihilator and flesh made Sin :headbang:

[reed]

For sodom, In The Sign of Evil and Obbsessed by Cruelty are great, very energetic, but rather sloppy. I love them, but they're tough to get into. I suggest Persecution Mania or Agent Orange first.

[DaddyTwoFoot]

I own In the Sign of Evil and Obsessed by Creulty too, and I have to agree with what reed said. Very fast, great thrash, but hard to get into, and could give you a bad first impression of the band.

[SickMetal]

Thanks, I'll probably get Agent Orange.

what are Sepultura(Chaos A.D. and Roots) in your opinion also Exodus is pretty good thrash\m/(oo)\m/
Machine Head is the best contemperary thrash band(my opinion) though they are pretty melodic hated that single from Supercharger i really hated it .Its good that TTAOAA is an awsome CD \m/(oo)\m/

also what do you think about Nailbomb ?I think ist a great side project

Sepultura's early records can be considered thrash.I.e 'Beneath the Remains' and 'Arise'.
But after that they slowed down and progressively got ****tier by each album.

If only they stayed a thrash band, because I thought they were amazing:(

By the way I just got Anthrax's first record with Neil Turbin on vocals, 'Fistfull of Metal', and to be honest I'm pretty dissapointed with it.
Joey's vocals on Anthrax's later stuff is much much better. Turbin's vocals, and the songs in general are just way too over the top and melodramatic. They just sounded like a cheesy Judas Priest rip-off.
What does anyone else think of it? Becuase I think I'll take it back tommorow:(

[las7]

Why are Roots and Chaos AD not thrash in your opinion? It would be good to know ...

[unfathomable_bo]

Originally posted by las7

They're too slow, the drumming is over simplified, the vocals are more accessable, the riffs are more groovy and there aren't as many solos

[TheHaunted]

Anybody heard of Detonator? They were a local thrash band overhere a crossover between (old) Sepultura and (old) Metallica.
I can rip their CD and send it over MSN, if anyone likes

[las7]

hehe Slow ..LMao that really shows that you havnt listened to the albums ,lyricly Dave, James are way more accessable then Sepultura ever was with Max ,listen to Ratamahata how is singing in a native indian language accesable?

[Dyer's Eve]

I wouldnt call later Sepultura Thrash because it doesn't possess the same speed as the Thrash Metal Genre boasts.

I personally think Chaos AD is a great album, although not a thrash album, a good Metal album nonetheless.

Like most here, I prefer the thrashier stuff through Schizophrenia to Arise... (I'm personally not huge on Morbid Visions, Max sounds like he's burping at times) The earlier stuff had an energy to it that made you want to go nutty. Especially The Main Riff in Arise... It makes me want to destroy something... preferably valuable.

[las7]

well like all metal it seems that thrash is filled with oxymorons ...I agree to disagree :)

I said the vocals are more accessable not the lyrics, meaning the style of singing/growling. Brujeria growl in Spanish and Nile occationally growl in Ancient Egyptian, which is more accessable? Brujeria, because the vocals are nowhere near as aggressive regardless or language/lyrical themes. This example is no different.

I own both albums and enjoy them, but they're still not thrash. Listen to Arise, then listen to Chaos or Roots, they are clearly completely different.

No.

It was an example.

[SickMetal]

IMO Chaos A.D. was a pretty good record, but Roots was just bad. Chaos was somewhat of a bridge between the thrash days and the numetalish Roots album, and it turned out pretty good. The tribal drumming was more apperent which helped it stand out as a unique album. Roots on the other hand, was far too simplified and numetalish for my tastes.

[reed]

I just thought most of the riffs on Chaos A.D. blew. All slow and no drive. I mean, that's not to say I dislike slow music, even metal, but for the sound they have, slow doesn't work.

[gimme_fuel_89]

Is anyone here seeing COB on their Aus tour?

Ooops, yeah of course...my mistake:o
Anyway, after a few more listens its starting to grow on me, I guess I was just shocked how different they sounded back then. They souned more like an Maiden/Priest style band instead of thrash.

...But still Anthrax with Joey is way better.

[xSepulturax]

thats funny cuz most people who love that song say almost the exact same thing

When I first heard Roots I liked it y'know, it had something to it, but when you go back and listen, even just back to Chaos AD, Roots just fades, The earlier stuff just makes it look so simple and lacklustre.

I guess it's just one of those cases where if another band put it out as a debut it might be looked more up to. But looking at Sepultura, it's not the output expected, thus a more negative response. As much as people deny that theres bias in that way, to be honest there always is. Example: Load

[narmi]

Chaos AD and Roots are boring albums - especially after listening to albums like Arise - \m/

[reed]

I think I would have enjoyed Chaos A.D. more if they had a total sound overhaul, instead of just simplifying what they had. Yeah, they threw in a couple new elements like that wierd acoustic song dedicated to all the guys in prison, but beyond that, it struck me as a crappy, boring Arise.

It could have been good, but they just took what they had and dumbed it down instead of trying something new.

I have no problem with bands changing their sound (thats not entirely true, but if I feel no particular attachment to the band, like Sepultura, it is), and if they'd tryed to be different, I think I would have liked it more. Sorry, I'm just rambling now, but I hope I got my point across haha

[las7]

Well guess im biased Cause Chaos A.D is my fav album ...what more can I say except that songs like refuse/resist ,biotech is godzila ,amen ,territory(wicked drum solo) are perhaps my fav sepultura tracks yes I do like Arise Benith the Remains but I dig the sound of Chaos more ...well thats my 2cents with a few spelling mistakes :cheers:
And Roots isnt that bad really its not all solid but Ratamahata and Dictator**** ..awsome tracks

[SickMetal]

Yea, IMO Chaos A.D. is a decent record but the reason I didn't like it as much as the others was because it was dumbed down. Still, it had some very good tracks and the unique drumming kind of made up for it to me.

It would be better as just a one-time experimental album, but they furthered it with Roots and it turned into pure shit.

[Bubonic Chronic]

While I still like both albums, Sep did pretty much go belly-up after Arise. After that it was just a slow change into Soulfly, and Soulfly is worthless.

Pluuuu! :puke:

[SickMetal]

^^Pretty accurate way of looking at it.

Once Max did a song with Fred Durst, that's just....:(

[las7]

well i havnt listened to soulfly ..the only band i want to listen to with Max is Sepultura and from time to time Nailbomb ...I did see a couple of video's from them ,but fred durst wtf ?!..Max pls go back to Sepultura ,PLS
Heh too bad they have such differences with one another I read somewhere that since Sepultura broke up Max hasnt spoken to his brother ..sad really

[SickMetal]

He said once that he's not, just because what they had was special and he doesn't think they can replicate it. That is, in addition to the personal differences I guess.

I can't believe the same dude who made "Arise" is in a numetal band :(

[mer_der_noms]

This is off the main topic of the moment but something thats been on my mind for a while..would you classify Mastodon as metalcore or thrash? And if not that..what? Because Ive listened to them for a little while now and I cant figure them out...

[SickMetal]

I don't think it's metalcore but I don't think it's thrash either. They've got kind of a unique sound, it ain't bad.

[unfathomable_bo]

Mastodon are hard to classify. They border on thrash at times but at the same time can sound a little like metalcore. I'd count them as metal though, possibly just a modern take on classic Heavy Metal.

Yea, kind of what it is I guess. They have their own sound, which I respect them for :)

mer_de_noms, I know very little about the Haunted but I heard that "The Haunted Made Me Do It" is one of their better works. Don't take my word for it though.

[reed]

So, I'm having trouble classifying Martyr. Their vox and tunings are classic thrash, but you really don't see much "tech" thrash beyond the solos. Would you call them thrash metal?

At first I just lumped them in with the Tech Death crowd of Quebec, but I'm pretty sure they aint death, you know? It's a stupid technicality question, but I'm just wondering.

I've always counted Martyr as tech death, the drums and guitars are just that little bit more brutal than your average thrash band. I suppose they could be death/thrash like The Crown or Vader, but I'm still happy calling them tech death.

Pick up One Kill Wonder. It's pretty good.

[deadskinmask]

The Children Of Bodom thread has done in 2 days what the Thrash thread did in a week. We gotta get into serious discussion because a single band has had more conversation going on the a whole Metal genre.

Btw, I am not insulting Children Of Bodom in any way. I am just saying this is a fairly slow thread and we should try and pick up the pace.

Okay, back to Thrash, what is everyones least favourite songs off some of their favourite Thrash albums?

[DaddyTwoFoot]

Mexican Radio off of Into the Pandemonium by Celtic Frost. (I'm pretty sure that's considered thrash.)

Ugh, what is with that shit? Great album, but that song is so retardedly pointless.

[LedZeppelin]

Slayer counts as thrash, right?

I really want a Slayer album, but don't know which one to get. Any suggestions? I was gonna go with either Reign in Blood or South of Heaven. The guitar on Reign in Blood seems a little muddled, but I've only heard samples, so who knows...

[las7]

You dont have any Slayer albums?!

[Dyer's Eve]

Mastodon Kick Unholy amounts of arse, but theyre sorta Stoner Metal, in the vein of High On Fire, Or perhaps a heavier version of Clutch...

The Haunted apply the same leval of arse-whip, although unlike Mastodon, I consider them Thrash.

And Buy Reign In Blood Kid... If you know whats good for ya

[laffyjam]

Kreator and Overkill are the best thrash bands.

[rathmusbass]

I love Tom Araya's vocals

Get both. Reign in Blood is loaded with kickass riffs. South of Heaven's my personal favorite, as I find it has more a mature approach and isn't afraid to dabble in slow tempos.

[reef_d]

you could also get Seasons in the Abyss because it has some of their classic songs like War Ensemble, Dead Skin Mask and the haunting sound of the title track. As for other thrash bands, any of you got Beast of Bourbon by Tankard. Its got some nice fast, aggressive riffs, the elements good german thrash is made up of.

RIB might be too br00tal for a Zeppelin fan :p:

:haha

I would say get Seasons In The Abyss first - some more catchy songs on it and not as heavy as RIB.

SITA then RIB then SOH

Or just buy them all at the same time. They are all :headbang:

[deadskinmask]

It was all backwards for me, Hell Awaits got me into Slayer and it is probably my favourite at the time being. What I think they should have done though was combined Hell Awaits with Haunting The Chapel and scrapped Hardening Of The Arteries(its a good song but they should have just used some riffs and solos in some other songs instead). Then with the four songs from Haunting The Chapel + seven songs from Hell Awaits - Hardening of The Arteries there would be 10 tracks, like the traditional Slayer album.

[Guitar_&_bass_1]

Ok, i only read like the first 2 pages of this, but i saw death angel in the list (which i would like to thank CS for :D ) I have avoided buying one of there records for one reason: My CD store has a load of there records.

I found them while looking for dark angels Leave scars, and I thought, they must be some wannabe death metal band... But now seeing them here... whats there best album in your opinions?

Also, my cd store is notorios for its un-kvltness, they can get you anything, but they dont stock anything relatively unknown, they just about managed dimmu borgir, but i had to order emperor :p:

[SickMetal]

I don't know much about Death Angel, but I believe "Act III" is largely considered as one of their big albums.

[xSepulturax]

divine intervention is a very overlooked and underated album

[napalm_monkey]

Yeah its a kick ass album, but it seems a bit like Slayer have tried to change more towards the mainstream with it though

[SickMetal]

They went toward the mainstream with Divine Intervention?

That album ain't mainstream at all!

[napalm_monkey]

Well the songs are longer and 213 has a clean intro!!!

Ron Rineheart (Dark Angel)

[reed]

Tom Angelripper of Sodom and Onkel Tom fame.

If he counts, Francois Mongrain of Martyr. But he really doesn't. too bad.

OMFG that battle axe song by Piledriver rocks!! Holy Sh!t

IMO that album was some kind of a summary of all what they did on Reign, South of Heaven and Seasons.

[TheHaunted]

Lee Altus (Heathen) joined Exodus. Their upcoming album will be titled: Shovel Headed Kill Machine

[SickMetal]

Seasons in the Abyss had a clean intro too, and usually longer songs means it's not accessible to the mainstream, because the mainstream wants catchy 3-4 minute songs. I agree with the Haunted in that it's somewhat of a combination between RiB, SoH, and SitA.

[narmi]

Dead Skin Mask is Slayer's catchiest song

Damn good though :headbang:

[SickMetal]

I love that song!

Yeah R.I.B is a pretty good starter, though I think people underate Show No Mercy too much.
Its a bit tamer then their later releases, but I really like the raw, less serious style that they had back then.
And overall I find that the album to musically be more diverse than R.I.B.

But none the less, R.I.B is a classic album, and is definatley the best starting point if you want to get into Slayer.

[deadskinmask]

I think Slayer's best leads are on Show No Mercy. It is also like a more aggressive Kill Em' All.

[SickMetal]

^^Yea, it is. And the leads were especially good on that one.

'tis a good album.

[Vercingetorix]

I think that Jeff IS slayer.

Anyone else agree?

[SickMetal]

I'm inclined to disagree.

There wouldn't be a Reign in Blood without Kerry King, and notice the decline once Dave left the band.

[Vercingetorix]

Well if Jeff left, maybe we would know. I mean, Jeff wrote some of their best stuff. I would also think Dave was very important, but Paul did a hell of a job replacing him, and who knows? Maybe Slayer would have gon downhill even if Dave stayed.

[SickMetal]

Yea, good point.

Jeff's kind of like the quiet dude who does alot of work but doesn't get a ton of credit for it.

[reed]

I thought Paul was dumb. Boring, oversimplistic, heavily nu-metal tinged lines. You can definetly tell just by the drumming if a song is Paul era or Dave era.

[SickMetal]

I agree.

Divine Intervention was good, but I'd rather not listen to anything else from the Paul era. Dave is a much more interesting drummer.

[Metalology]

I agree 100%. The solos on Show No Mercy actually made sense and wasn't mindless crap at 22 nps.

[SickMetal]

Yea, they were good.

Although I believe Hanneman's solos never were mindless crap. Kind yes, but not Jeff.

[Vercingetorix]

With his style, yes. But when he played Dave's stuff he did a hell of a job, I think.

[SickMetal]

Yea, he definatly can play.

[reed]

Sure he can, his writing is sadly lacking though.

[xSepulturax]

Speaking of Dave....Slayer need to hury the **** up and release a new album with him

[dead_shall_rise]

Isnt there supposed to be a new coming out from them soon

[Vercingetorix]

I'm actually a bit excited for the new album just because Dave is back.

[xSepulturax]

Ya i didnt care much for GHUA or DIM....hopefully since they have Dave back They'll put out a kickass album

[xSepulturax]

Well the songs are longer and 213 has a clean intro!!!


As Sick Metal pointed out SITA had a clean intro and longer songs dont point to mainstream but to go back a little more 'Spill the Blood' had a clean intro \m/

[deadskinmask]

I believe Jeff to be the better one when it comes to writing solo's (or songs and riffs too for that matter), but I think he has had his weak solo's from time to time. I also think Kerry had a better solo in War Ensemble.

About the new Slayer album, one of them said in an interview(I think it was Kerry but I am not sure)that it is supposed to sound similiar to Seasons In They Abyss. I sure hope Dave brings the thrash back to Slayer.

[narmi]

^Yeah isn't Kerry's the solo after the cool tapping riff on the low E?

Cool solo

[radio_schizo]

Personally I enjoy listening to GHUA. Obviously not as much as their earlier albums, but there are some great songs on it (i.e Payback, Disciple, Exile etc)
...It was definatley their most aggressive album to date:eek:

But yeah with Dave back for the new album, a return to their more thrashy roots would be nice. But either way I reckon it'll be good;)

[narmi]

Disciple - :headbang:

Bloodline - meh

Rest of album - :puke:

That would be awesome. I'll be sure to pick it up; it's bound to be better than GHUA with Dave back in the band.

For me it was Disciple, God Send Death and Exile were the only ones that stood out. And if songs on a Slayer album stick out, its not a true Slayer album because usually all the songs should be near perfect anyways. I guess it has been the Slipknot influence.....

Anyone have/see War At The Warfield? On some of the solo's they just improvised. I think they either just got bored, or have smoked/drank them selves retarded to the point where they can't do something they have done a thousand times....

[The Oceanborn]

actually I can't tell the difference between two Slayer solos...
but I guess it would be the second possibility you've mentioned

btw: what the hell is wrong with their sound engineers?? on War at the warfield you almost cannot hear Kerry's guitar, and know I watched a live video from a German show , and this time the bass is louder than both guitars
wtf

[Gopher636]

what do you guys think testaments best album is? i got the gathering on fri, and its a great album, and if its not their best, id like to see what is.
what do you guys think?

[dead_shall_rise]

IM not to much into testament any more for some reason i could just never get into thenm

my favorite song off GHUA is New Faith

[deadskinmask]

I got Practice What You Preach at my cd store waiting for me, thing is I can't buy it because I am saving all my money for when I go to see Megadeth and Anthrax.

[SickMetal]

The New Order and the Legacy are usually considered Testament's best albums. Be warned that they're different from the Gathering.

[xSepulturax]

actually I can't tell the difference between two Slayer solos...

Most kerry's solo's are tremelo picking where as most jeff's are complex

[deadskinmask]

Actually Kerry occasionally does a good solo. Every single solo off of Show No Mercy is good, even Kerry's. But a high majority of his stuff is nonsensable shred then he rapes the wammy bar then shreds some more.

[SuicideNation]

:D Lol

true. But it fits the music as well as its his own style... Nobody does solos quite like Slayer. You know a Slayer solo when you hear it is all im saying.

[Gopher636]

different in what way?

[SickMetal]

They're much more thrashy, they're in standard tuning, and Chuck Billy never does any death growls. Plus the solos are alot better. The only thing I'd say isn't better is the drumming, because Dave Lombardo is obviously better than their original guy.

[chemicalsolutio]

Originally posted by Gopher636

The Gathering is harsher, voacls are harsher.

My favs are Practice What You Preach and The Gathering. (although Practice what you preach is quite different from the gathering)

[d0bbit]

i like how testament have changed and still sound awesome

[d0bbit]

[SickMetal]

I don't really like the newer Testament stuff. They were better with Skolnick IMO.

[xSepulturax]

yea my favorite is probobly 'the new order'

[d0bbit]

yea i liek old testament better, but i dont hate the new stuff

[SickMetal]

Some of the new stuff is good, but I wouldn't spend my money on it.

That's actually pretty true. I remember the first time I heard that one Pantera song that features a guest solo from Kerry King (I think it was called Electric something or other). I thought "hot damn does this solo ever sound like Kerry King!", and sure enough, it was.

[deadskinmask]

^ Goddamn Electric.

[xSepulturax]

We need to get the thrash thread stickied

[deadskinmask]

They would sticky the Metallica only thread before they would do this one. So I wouldn't count on that happening.

What are the bands that consist of the the German Thrash scene? I only know of Kreator, Destruction, Sodom and Tankard.

[chemicalsolutio]

Assassin, Exumer, Angel Dust, \m/ Holy Moses \m/

\m/ (><) \m/ Vendetta \m/ (><) \m/

thats death vocals? i always thaught they were more harsh, like slipknot's.*
and of course, cuz Lompardo pwns next to all drummers.

* i was kidding, of course.

[xSepulturax]

I heard that practice what you preach was tuned UP half a step

[SickMetal]

That's odd. What's the point of that?

Maybe their guitars were just ridiculously out of tune.

[reed]

Well I'm pretty sure Immortal tuned up a half step for Pure Holocaust... or maybe it was At The Heart of Winter...

Anyway, I think you get a different sound that way, maybe a more grim one in Immortals case, but I can't think of why Testament would...

[SickMetal]

That's odd. I gotta find out more about that.

[Gopher636]

maybe theyre just tryin somethin new?
i know, im gonna play a melo-death/thrash hybrid tuned UP a whole step.
eat that, creativity.

[TapMaster]

so i collect live dvd's is there any good ones from slayer?

[reef_d]

I've only got War at the Warfield and its good but Tom's voice isnt what it used to be. I also have an old vcd of theirs 'Live Intrusion'

[d0bbit]

yea i have war at teh wwarfield and i have still reigning, both are nice

[reef_d]

which kreator album do you guys think sucks? I heard Endorama and that was quite a let down from one of the best eurothrash bands around

[somepunkkid]

AHHHHH i just heard the oops i did it again cover by CoB i will now kill myself

now you can too

[CTreborn13]

What about Megadeth?
I personally love the band.
The lineup has changed quite a bit, and we all now Mustaine has a little bit of an ego, but I think the music is great. What do you guys think?

[narmi]

Megadeth = good

However they only have a few decent albums

RIP, CTE and PSBWB are great, the others are boring.

I bought the DVD Rude Awakening a few weeks ago - its pretty cool, every song is played perfectly but there isn't chemistry with that line up. It seems like instead of Megadeth it should be Dave Mustaine.

[spee]

i enjoy megadeth, especially now ive been listening to them a lot. I had a bootleg of an entire show in london and it was pretty good quality, for guitar playing tis amazing, mustaine rhythms and friedman's exotic solos.

Sept. 3 :headbang:

[xSepulturax]

Megadeth = Kickass

i like all Megadeth up to risk

[d0bbit]

yea i have the unplugged in philly cd, for teh megadeth fan club. its pretty gnarly

I have a DVD of a show somewhere in Scandinavia of Slayer. I bought it before I knew they were going to release War at the warfield. It's a sad that Jeff's guitarsound is aweful but the concert was pretty good and with Dave on drums. I also own WaW, Still Reigning and Live Intrusion. I think Live Intrusion is the best: :headbang: At dawn they sleep :headbang: Kill, KiLL , KILLLL!!!!

Its great, Disciple is such a great gig opener :headbang: shame about the rest of the album

I'm in a bad situation as far as Megadeth goes...

I bought Peace Sells a while ago and listened to it, I like Wake Up Dead, Peace Sells, and My Last Words, but the rest of the album is just kind of...bad. The lyrics are typical chessy gory stuff, and the guitars are just as cheesy sometimes, such as the beginning of The Conjuring. Everybody loooves Megadeth but they just don't do it for me...are there any albums that sound different? (Besides Risk, that CD is a piece of ****)...
