Titans Of Thrash

[Damage]

Would you happen to know any bands that are like them? Is "groove metal" a legit subgenre that actually has a bunch of bands and stuff?

[Tyler]

Groove metal is a legitimate genre. It's sort of post-thrash. Machine Head are also groove metal.

[Damage]

Oh, right on. Thanks.

[AA-12]

New Lamb of God sounds a lot like Pantera, but much better. Their old stuff kind of does too. You could try Damageplan; They're a side project Dime + Vin had. Other than that i'm not really sure. I guess it's legit, I see it used a lot.

[Damage]

Alright, thanks guys. I'll look it up. I've heard a lot about Lamb of God, so I'll check them out.

[Aronax]

I think i've heard of them.

This just in: Aro is going to die from being buried alive underground. :p

Hopefully I dont happen to die that way, but than again I guess I look too hard to be underground :chug:

Will you join me, Wotan/TSASI? :naughty: :naughty:

Asmodeus - Aeras Que Vindice Nullo -- Pøíjezd krále [02:52m/128Kbps/44KHz] - 1995

[Apocalyptic Raids]

This just in: Aro is going to die from being buried alive underground.
but he doesn't like Bonded By Blood.

Therefore his opinions are invalid.

Haha, sure >_>

Blasphemy!!!!!



I've been on a Coroner binge for the past two days. Damnnnnnnnnn.

NP: Coroner - Sirens

[Bazarov]

I am having the hardest time finding guitar tabs for Black Prophecies.

I haven't listened to Dark Angel in quite a bit, so great.

NP: Black Prophecies

[FatalEnergy]

I have one saved. I don't know where I got it though. It's just rythym guitar.


NP: Sabbat (UK) - The Best of Enemies

[Bazarov]

If somehow you could email me the tabs that'd be awesome. If you can my email is dervater100@cox.net

NP: Cannibal Corpse - Beyond the Cemetary.

Most of this song is total thrash.

[Bazarov]

Awesome man. Hey are you going to that thrash fest thing up in LA, the one with Merciless Death, Fueled by Fire and Warbringer? I might be going to that. I saw those guys about a month ago when they came to San Diego, they were great.

[FatalEnergy]

Nah, unless my band ends up playing it. I'm not really a fan of any of those bands. They all seem really generic to me. They're cool guys though. LA has way too many poseurs though.

[Bazarov]

Not too many bands can be original these days though.. but I catch what you're saying. One band though.. Merciless Death, that guys vocals I cannot stand, it makes me think of a Mustaine constipated.

Oh yeah, that guy has some really horrible pipes. He sounds like someone trying to do a Schmier impression while really really really drunk

[Terrorzone]

Yeah, I heard them a while ago. They have some good riffs but their vocalist kills them.

Np: Ritual Carnage-The Sixth Sense

[FatalEnergy]

My band is going play one live cover and we took forever deciding, but finally we have come to the conclusion.

Venom's Don't Burn the Witch!

Hopefully when we start getting gigs I'll save a live recording of it.

NP: Venom - Black Metal

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I haven't listened to Dark Angel in quite a bit, so great.
I do that all the time.

I don't listen to Dark Angel for long streches of time, then binge listen for a couple of days. repeat.

[FatalEnergy]

I do that all the time.

I don't listen to Dark Angel for long streches of time, then binge listen for a couple of days. repeat.

Ditto. What ever became of them? They were starting something up and then everything fell apart.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I think a couple of years back there was going to be a reunion album to be called Darkness Returns. It won't be happening though.

[Nostalgia]

Man, Sauron are pretty rad. The production is terrible, but I actually like it. The drums sounds so raw.

[FatalEnergy]

They're okay. They never struck me as anything too special. They did a cool cover of Total Death though.

[Nostalgia]

Yeah, I still like Kreator's a lot more though.

[FatalEnergy]

Most definately

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Sauron is cool. New EP should be coming soon.

[AA-12]

Sauron has an awesome name.

[FatalEnergy]

Man, I relistened to the new Sodom again. It hasn't grown on me. Everyone seems to like it so much, but I'll pass. M-16 was much much better.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I heard the leak, it seemed ok but I deleted it anyway.

np: Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"

[AA-12]

I actually love it for some reason.

[FatalEnergy]

It's much too melodic and slow for me. It just kind of seems to drag out. There's a few good ones, like Lords of Depravity, but the songs like City of God I could do without.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Lords of Depravity seemed like a decent song, but the others didn't keep my attention as much.

Destruction are definitely the best of the old-school bands that re-united.

[The Negation]

I scored a copy of Annihilator's - Schizo Deluxe today, pretty good.

[AA-12]

I still have some super rare Annihilator demo I need to listen to. I've had it for like 2 weeks, haha.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've only heard Alice In Hell by them.

[The Negation]

Theyre pretty darn good....and Canadian!

I still have some super rare Annihilator demo I need to listen to. I've had it for like 2 weeks, haha.

Pray tell what demo might that be?! :eek:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I like Razor and Dissection better as far as Canadian Thrash goes :p

[The Negation]

I'll give you Dissection but Annihilator > Razor.
Im really into Japanese thrash at the mo...amazing stuff.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I'll give you Dissection but Annihilator > Razor.
no waaaay :p

Im really into Japanese thrash at the mo...amazing stuff.
hmm, the only Japanese Thrash I've heard is Ritual Carnage. I've got some Volcano too, but they're not quite thrash.

[FatalEnergy]

I have Annhilators first two, and they are the only two I actually like by them. Sacrifice = Best Canadian Thrash, and I've always had a soft spot for Soothsayer.

Japanese thrash, dude check out this band called Fastkill. Brutal and unbelievably fast. Japanese Sabbat is pretty damn good. They started off as NWOBHM sounding stuff and then turned to Black/Thrash.

NP: Cannibal Corpse - Zero the Hero (Black Sabbath Cover)

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Oh, I've heard Abigail too. Though they're Black/Thrash.

[The Negation]

Psssh yes way!

I love Volcano! Violent is amazing. Kings-Evil > Ritual Carnage. Dudman are awesome! Jellyroll Rockheads too. Japan has some absolutely cracking bands out there.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Psssh yes way!
psssh no way!

I love Volcano! Violent is amazing. Kings-Evil > Ritual Carnage. Dudman are awesome! Jellyroll Rockheads too. Japan has some absolutely cracking bands out there.
have you heard Intestine Baalism? Not Thrash, but quality Melodic Death.

[FatalEnergy]

Guys, you're forgetting Loudness!

Rock 'n Roll Crazy Nights is Japan at the most brutal. Duh!

[The Negation]

psssh no way!
O RLY?!!

have you heard Intestine Baalism? Not Thrash, but quality Melodic Death.

Ive heard a few tracks by them, they seem pretty good but i havent got any of their EPs or anything, is it worth looking around for one?

[The Negation]

A Banquet In The Darkness (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review_7610) is worth getting.

[AA-12]

I'm not sure what the demo I have is, but i'll post it when I finally open the file.

Kings Evil is awesome (thanks :D)

[The Negation]

A Banquet In The Darkness (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review_7610) is worth getting.

Crikey! The tracks that Ive heard seem to be from that album. Looks like another one on my list of things to buy. I might go on a music spree in America, seeing as things are usually cheaper there. T'is a pity I'll be nowhere near the Relapse store though :(

I'm not sure what the demo I have is, but i'll post it when I finally open the file.

Kings Evil is awesome (thanks )

How did you get your hands on it?
And no worries.

[AA-12]

I got it from one of the threads on M-A I think.

[The Negation]

Lucky! I need to get my hands on some uber rare demo type stuff.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The Free Metal Download thread?

or that Demo Dungeon one

That free metal one is great. Apocalypse \m/

I bought Destruction - Inventor of Evil today.

I bought Destruction - Inventor of Evil today.


That's probably my least favorite album by them. Soulcollector kicks some serious *** though.


NP: Pink Floyd - Dogs

[AA-12]

Haha, I had to start somewhere.

[metallicaman8]

The only metal albums I currently own are either by Metallica or Megadeth. I'm going to be buying a few new albums soon, though. Suggestions?

[AA-12]

Thrash?

[FatalEnergy]

The only metal albums I currently own are either by Metallica or Megadeth. I'm going to be buying a few new albums soon, though. Suggestions?


Check out:

Destruction
Sodom
Kreator
Coroner
Overkill
Dark Angel
Vio-lence
Slayer
Anthrax
Testament

if you want thrash, and that's a very small list.

[metallicaman8]

I was thinking more like a specific album. Something by Iron Miaden Mototbreath, or a lesser knwon metal band I haven't heard of. But okay.

...I hate it when people beat me to the post^.

[AA-12]

^and Corrosion of Conformity. They're not really thrash, but you'd probably like them.

[FatalEnergy]

I was thinking more like a specific album. Something by Iron Miaden Mototbreath, or a lesser knwon metal band I haven't heard of. But okay.

Ummmmm......go find Pleasure to Kill by Kreator

[The Negation]

Check out these too:

Sacred Reich
Rigor Mortis
Deceased
Hellwitch
Overkill
Nuclear Assault
Aura Noir
Absu
Venom

[AA-12]

Aura Noir is amazing. They are a bit hard to find though.

[The Negation]

Black Thrash Attack!
Absu are damn good Black thrash as well

[Poofy 666]

What Ghoul cd should I buy? Splatterthrash or Maniaxe?

[Inpropagation]

What Ghoul cd should I buy? Splatterthrash or Maniaxe?

I'd say get maniaxe now..and splatterthrash tommorow.

[Bazarov]

Ghoul is pretty damn sick.

NP: Pleasent Screams/Forbbiden Crypts

I can't wait to see them live. Eventually they have to come to SD.

Also, bummer for me, damn Municipal Waste changed their venue. They were going to play at this crap venue for only 18+, then changed to this other venue, whom the owner is a douche and has been known to not pay the bands, now they don't even know where they're going to play.... oh well this'll give me more time to find the perfect boogey board to purchase.

[RiceMonster]

Ghoul ****ing rules. I've only heard Splatterthrash so far.

[Bazarov]

I need to get it, I have the link to download that album. But I'm extremely low on space left on my computer.. and I'm trying to get bands I haven't heard more than new material from bands I already have...

NP: Ghoul - Numbskull

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Aura Noir is amazing. They are a bit hard to find though.
I found The Merciless pretty easily.

Ghoul ****ing rules. I've only heard Splatterthrash so far.
Get Maniaxe. It's better than Splatterthrash.

[Nostalgia]

Ghoul's good so far. Numbskull has some pretty rad growls on it.

[Bazarov]

I am a numbskull.

[Tyler]

Sacred Reich

SURF NICARAGUA!

[FatalEnergy]

Man, I forgot how catchy Torture Squad is.

[Terrorzone]

TOWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!OF FIRE!
I love Torture Squad. So brutal yet they still have great thrashy riffs.

NP-Toxik-Heart Attack

[FatalEnergy]

I can't find the third or fourth Stone albums. Colours and Emotional Playground. I've got the first two. Do any of you happen to have these two albums or their live album Free? I can't find them on Soulseek. IT"S REALLY REALLY REALLY PISSING ME OFF!

REALLY


NP: Stone - No Anaesthesia

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've only got No Anaesthesia, sorry.

Torture Squad is great, though I haven't listened to them in ages.

[pate]

I've only got No Anaesthesia, sorry.


Oh hell yes. Great album.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, it's pretty enjoyable.

[FatalEnergy]

I found Emotional Playground, and Colours is still queued up.

Emotional Playground is alright, not quite as good as No Anaesthesia, because there's some weird, boring, slow songs on it, but there's some on here that are completely incredible. I have a feeling Colours is going to be my favorite when I finally get all of it. I still have to find Free the live album though. No one has that.

NP: Stone - Dead End (Reminds me of Bodom's Towards Dead End)

I sure hate Bodom though.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I used to be a fan, but not really anymore.

[FatalEnergy]

Oh yeahhhhhh!!! Look who popped up in 3rd place for who's posted in the thread! It's because everyone else left...

NP: Stone - Haven

[The Negation]

Flotsam and Jetsam \m/

[ArtVandelay]

Can anyone reccommend a good Coroner album? I have one of their demos and it's pretty good, I'd like to hear more of them.. or bands like them.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Punishment For Decadence and R.I.P..

[FatalEnergy]

No More Colour is just as good as those two!

[wrathchild88]

I just got my first taster of Heathen.

\m/

[Bazarov]

I just saw your avatar and had a sudden urge to listen to Vio-lence.

NP: Calling in the Coroner

what other Vio-lence albums should I get?

[wrathchild88]

Oppressing the Masses, which is a great album has been rereleased with a great EP, Torture Tactics. So get that. I havn't heard all of 'Nothing to Gain' so I can't really comment on that. They've also got a DVD coming out fairly soon, which should be pretty awesome.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I just got my first taster of Heathen.

\m/
Victims Of Deception is good, as is the new demo.

I'm suprised you don't have Opressing The Masses yet, Butcher.

[Bazarov]

I guess I should get it....

I cannot get into Heathen. =/

[pate]

O.O

Wow. First person I've heard say that.

[Bazarov]

I have Breaking the Silence... I just can't stand it. Songs like Set Me Free just annoy the hell out of me.

[pate]

Damn. Another display of the vastness of varying tastes. :thumb:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

You should get their Demo, Ken. It's on their forums.

[FatalEnergy]

I have Breaking the Silence... I just can't stand it. Songs like Set Me Free just annoy the hell out of me.


That song is a cover. Personally I think Breaking the Silence is a great album, but Victims of Deception poops on it heavily.

NP: Ghoul - Splatterthrash

Just got Resident Evil 4 for my 17th birthday, this game ****ing pwns.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

That song is a cover. Personally I think Breaking the Silence is a great album, but Victims of Deception poops on it heavily.
Very heavily.

np: Hanoi Rocks - 11th Street Kids "Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes, Hanoi Rocks"

:cool:

[wrathchild88]

Is that why I can't find a place to buy Victims of Deception that isn't ridiculously expensive?

We don't have a very good selection of CDs in the UK. I just ordered Metal Church - The Dark and it has to be imported from America!

[The Negation]

You can find some decent CDs in Camden...at Resurrection records but its only a few...i have that problem too, which is why im going on a CD binge when Im in America

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Is that why I can't find a place to buy Victims of Deception that isn't ridiculously expensive?
It's out of print.

You know you can download it, right?

[wrathchild88]

You can find some decent CDs in Camden...at Resurrection records but its only a few...i have that problem too, which is why im going on a CD binge when Im in America
It costs me the price of a CD to get to Camden. :mad:

I guess I'll do the same. I'm going to Florida on the 5th :chug:
Although I won't be doing much :chug: ing because of their stupid drinking laws.

And yea, I knew I could download it, but its nice to have the actual CD and the booklet. I'll get Breaking the Silence instead.

[Bazarov]

You should get their Demo, Ken. It's on their forums.
I guess I'll give those a try.

NP: Festering Sore - Corprophagia

PIECES OF POOP FLOAT IN YOUR SOUP! \m/

And I'm going to go on DC++ to get Opressing the Masses....

[Nepenthe]

Victims Of Deception poops on alot of things heavily.

[Riva]

So, Metal Church. Power, speed, thrash or a delightful mix of the three?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I'll take the easy way out, and call them Traditional.

^_^

[Nepenthe]

I'll take the easy way out, and call them Traditional.

^_^

Yeah, that's what I'd do haha.

[Bazarov]

My dad likes Metal Church so damn much.... he had the self-titled in our vehicle's cd player for a week and a half. Seriously. I think I should get more Metal Church.

Battalions ftw.

[Nepenthe]

My dad has had the same two cd's in his truck for about two years now. Static X and Def Leppard.

Blessing In Disguise is such a good cd.

[Riva]

wimps

Butcher, your dad is awesome.

EDIT: Anthony, your dad is awesome too.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've only heard Metal Church.

:(

[Bazarov]

I've only heard Metal Church.

:(
As have I.

The original singer died in a car crash a few years ago I heard.... =/

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, he did.

I think it was just last year.

[Nepenthe]

I've only heard Metal Church.

:(

Get Blessing In Disguise right this instant.

[Bazarov]

Oh. That suck though, I totally dig his vocals.

NP: Vio-lence - Mentally Afflicted

[Poofy 666]

July 22, 2006 - Lamb of God, Opeth, Arch Enemy, Overkill, Into Eternity, Sanctity and The Smashup are confirmed for Gigantour 2. More second stage acts are to be named at a later date
:eek:

[pate]

Indeed.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

If Overkill are on the Australian Leg, then I might go.

[Nepenthe]

I would ****ing kill to see Overkill live. They don't have any Texas dates yet though. I will tear down entire city blocks if one isn't announced.

[pate]

I would have much rather had Testament, but Overkill will still own.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Overkill are way better than Testament.

[Bazarov]

I'd agree. The only song that comes to mind that I like by Testament is Electric Crown.

[Nepenthe]

Testament are great, but not as good as Overkill. Practice What You Preach is a beast though.

[Stormrider]

I own Practice What You Preach and The New Order. I rather Practice What You Preach though.

/first post

[Poofy 666]

Over the Wall is a good song. Apart from that... :-\

But I would kill to see Overkill and Into Eternity live...

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The best thing about Testament are the guitar leads.

[Stormrider]

Sure. But they have some awsome riffs aswell.

[Poofy 666]

On their older stuff maybe, but compare their riffs to those of Dark Angel...

[Stormrider]

Dark Angel are awsome. I should borrow my bro's Darkness Descends tonight...and get The Time Does not Heal aswell.

[Poofy 666]

Dark Angel are awsome. I WILL borrow my bro's Darkness Descends tonight...and get The Time Does not Heal aswell.
yes.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Darkness Descends is classic.

and Time Does Not Heal rules, also.

[Poofy 666]

Gene Hoglan reigns supreme.

[Nepenthe]

Darkness Descends would easily get into my top 5 thrash albums of all time.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

heh, I have DD listed as 6th on my Sputnik List >_>

The lyrics to the title track are awesome.

[Nepenthe]

If Burning Of Sodom and the title track were the only songs on there, it would still probably make it into my top 5.

[Poofy 666]

Perish in Flames!

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The title track, Perish In Flames and Merciless Death are the highlights, for me.

[Bazarov]

As of now Black Prophecies is my favorite.

[FatalEnergy]

Death is Certain is my favorite, Black Prophecies is a close second.

I'm still one of the few people that thinks Time Does Not Heal is cooler than Darkness Descends. Leave Scars is way under rated

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The production ruined Leave Scars.

[FatalEnergy]

Everyone seems to say that, but it dosen't bother me one bit. Sounds just fine. It was no worse than and early Bathory album.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I know there's some good stuff on that album, but it isn't the kind of album which benefits from poor mixing.

[clown_phobia]

what do you guys think of vio-lence?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

awesome band.

Eternal Nightmare is one of my favourites.

[clown_phobia]

I'm listening to Eternal Nightmare for the first time at the moment, actually

[FatalEnergy]

Classic stuff. You can't go wrong with Vio-lence.

[wrathchild88]

Vio-Lence pwn.

My favourite song is either Bodies on Bodies, Eternal Nightmare or Torture Tactics.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Best Vio-lence song would be Serial Killer, for sure.

Closely followed by Kill On Command and Office Nice.

[wrathchild88]

Have you got the EN rerelease with the live disc? Its great. The only song thats missing on it is Eternal Nightmare, but it is still an awesome gig. Some of which will be on the DVD, I think.

NP: Officer Nice

[Terrorzone]

I love Vio-lence, but godamn is Sean Kilians voice annoying.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

His voice is awesome :mad:

[ATM]

Have any of you guys heard Rumplestiltskin Grinder?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I heard a song once on the radio.

[ATM]

They are an awesome band, I think they are thrash. To be honest, I am not too familiar with the genre. Anyway, they are worth looking into.

[Kreator2112]

I still love Iced Earth. The rhythm guitar is so addicting its not funny.

[Neoteric]

I love Vio-lence, but godamn is Sean Kilians voice annoying.
It's not annoying, it's just different.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

They were Thrash from what I remember, and pretty good at that.

You should check out Municipal Waste.

Good work! :thumb: :chug:

Anybody like Artillery?
I've only heard one song by them, but I'm addicted to it already.

[Poofy 666]

By Inheritance is awsome. Haven't heard their other stuff.

[FatalEnergy]

Artillery never did anything bad. By Inheritance is my favorite though. Terror Squad is a close second.

What happened to the remember me function? I have to login everytime now.

[Poofy 666]

Security measure so you dont get hacked.

[Freezing Moon]

Artillery is one of my favorite thrash bands. Terror Squad is probably my favorite.

Everyone needs to listen to A.R.G.. They're amazing.

np: A.R.G - Adoration of the Kings

[Apocalyptic Raids]

By Inheritance is awesome.

[Bazarov]

The only Artillery I have, sadly, is Fear of Tomorrow. I like it a lot.

And I'm super stoked because I'm seeing Municipal Waste this Saturday. At some guys house. House shows are the ****.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I will hopefully see them in a little over 2 weeks.

Agreed. Sodom = pure excellence

[Bazarov]

Sodom are damn good. I remember around last year, they were talking about doing an American tour with Fintroll, boy was I stoked... and yeah, I think they only went on the East coast. Pwnt.

Not just only on the East coast, but two dates!1! A travesty.

Well, the last albums that have come out from eatch of those bands...have sadly been pretty weak in my opinon. Kreator = Gothenburg, Sodom = I just didn't like, it was not typical Sodom, Destruction = as much as I hate to say it, Inventor of Evil was boring.

Destruction has been releasing good albums in the past few years though. Sodom had M-16 which I thought ruled. Kreator.....well...the first half of Violent Revolution wasn't bad, the second half was Gothenburg.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

NEWSFLASH NEWSFLASH

Bret says a Destruction album is boring!

:D

[Terrorzone]

I am Listening to Christ Illusion. Its not as bad as expected(This may be due to Dave Lombardo.) Also, they still have that one solo they use in every song.
But on to more important things, the new Vader album is the best thing they have put out since De Profundis.

[Poofy 666]

I haven't bothered getting the new Sodom CD, I was talking about M-16. Enemy of God has it's moments I still listen to it occassionally. All three of these bands I think though their newest stuff just blows Christ Illusion out of the water though.

[pate]

M-16 is a killer album.

[Bazarov]

M-16 is a killer album.
Yeah it's great. M-16 was what got me into Sodom. A buddy of mine was all, "You need these albums" and gave me In the Sign of Evil and M-16. I didn't like ItSoE very much when I first heard it, but I really, and still totally dig M-16.

[pate]

Don't you mean Sodom?

I like In the Sign of Evil, but I like every Sodom album.

[Bazarov]

I noticed that the Hendrix post was closed....obviously because he's still just as much of a threat to the fat egos of today’s so called “guitarists” as he was when he was alive…and mostly a threat to the fat headed phony musician who closed that thread. Your crapy “music” will soon be taken away from you permanently you deaf and blind piece of decaying stench.

What the hell is this guy bitching about?

Don't you mean Sodom?

I like In the Sign of Evil, but I like every Sodom album.
Yeah, you weren't supposed to catch my ninja edit. :p I was totally thinking about Kreator when I was typing.

[pate]

Haha, I figured.

That guy is bitching/flooding in every thread.

[jane]

Megadeth :Rust in peice

[Apocalyptic Raids]

What about it?

[jane]

What about it?
Great album

[Apocalyptic Raids]

[Mother]

Are Anacrusis good??

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I used to have Suffering Hour a long time ago, but I don't really remember how it was. You can download it off their website, anyway.

[pate]

Anacrusis is excellent. As I recall, it was like a better Anthrax.

[Nepenthe]

A better Anthrax?!?! Impossible!

[Hep Kat]

A better Anthrax?!?! Impossible!

Nah, it's possible.

[FatalEnergy]

The first album by them is okay, but nothing spectacular. Pretty boring to me in fact. After the first album they turned to crap.


NP: Nocturnus - Lake of Fire

[Nepenthe]

Spreading The Disease, Among The Living, and Persistence Of Time are masterpieces, I don't care what anyone says.

[sensitiveorgan00]

Anacrusis own hard. Their first album, at least.

REIGN OF TERROR...>TERROR! RAHH!!

[pate]

Spreading The Disease, Among The Living, and Persistence Of Time are masterpieces, I don't care what anyone says.

I know you don't care...but I agree with Spreading the Disease and Among being masterpieces. I would rank Persistsence lower. But overall, I would say Anacrusis > Anthrax, even though it's not quite fair, because Thrax has many more albums that Anacrusis. Bah.

[Freezing Moon]

I like the first Anacrusis album and then a few assorted songs from the others.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Anthrax are alright, but there's better stuff out there.

np: Candlemass - The Well of Souls

[Super Wotan]

Laaz Rockit - Know Your Enemy is such a killer thrash album. I've only listened to like half of it and it's one of my favorites already.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, it's really good. Insanely catchy.

[Bazarov]

FIRE IN THE HOLE!

I only have Annihilation Principle. It's pretty good. Even the cover of Holiday in Cambodia is good.

[Freezing Moon]

The Laaz Rockit I've heard is much more Speed than Thrash Metal. Still, quite good.

np: Dismember - Skin Her Alive

[Super Wotan]

Meh, i'm terrible at telling the two genres apart.

[pate]

I use "speed metal" to describe faster power metal, like early Blind Guardian, but apparently I'm in the minority.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Meh, i'm terrible at telling the two genres apart.
If you want Speed Metal, just listen to Walls of Jericho, Heavy Metal Maniac, Gates To Purgatory, etc. A band like Running Wild or early Helloween epitomize Speed Metal, but some Venom and Motorhead, not to mention of course Exciter for example is Speed Metal as well. Judas Priest is mostly Heavy Metal but they have their Speed Metal moments, not just Painkiller, but a lot of songs have Speed Metal breaks and stuff. Early Slayer deserves mention too. Show No Mercy has plenty of Speed Metal and Thrash Metal on the album, and before that Slayer and songs like Ice Titan are about as Speed Metal as you can get.

An early song like 'Exciter' by Priest is a good example of pure Speed Metal. If you can't tell the difference between Exciter, Ace of Spades, Black Metal, Starlight and Heavy Metal like Children of the Grave, Into The Void, Saints In Hell, Number of the Beat, Am I Evil, or whatever you just don't get it.

Similarly, the above Speed Metal songs are pretty obviously different from Piranha, Burning of Sodom, Whiplash, Tornado of Souls, Angel of Death whatever. Between Speed and Thrash, the differences descripitively aren't that big, it's just that the riffs are styled a bit differently. Heavy Metal riffs and Speed Metal riffs might be pretty similar or they might not, but the tempo is the glaring difference and the riffs are never exactly the same though, they couldn't be if they are needed to coherently create speed. For Speed Metal, the riffs are faster, the music is faster, but it isn't in the Thrash way.

Having more melodic music all-around, especially the melodic solos, and non-shouting vocals are merely tendencies of Speed Metal, they are not essential or defining elements. They just work better with Speed Metal than do Thrash. But let me repeat they are not needed, Venom kills that example. Also I would call an early song like 'Symptom of the Universe' by Sabbath an example of mixing Thrash with melodic Heavy Metal. Metal Church had melodic Thrash as well at times. So it's not just a Speed Metal thing.

Also I don't mean to imply Speed Metal can't have some slower parts and tempo changes, of course it can(Helloween did it, especially for choruses), but the main riffs and the majority of the song has to be speed.

Megadeth are Thrash Metal. Just because Mustaine plays more solos, and has more melody and isn't on the extreme edge of Thrash doesn't mean it isn't Thrash. Where is the Speed Metal? I can see some of it on 'So Far So Good' but that's about it except for maybe some moments hear and there(Hangar 18 as well perhaps). Megadeth is Thrash. The riffs do not have very much resemblance to Ride The Sky, sorry they don't.

Early Metallica can cause a lot of confusion because Kill 'Em All is one album that is considered THE Thrash album but it's really got plenty of Speed Metal moments too. Metallica are the most confusing band actually.

Speed Metal even at its extreme does of course have some obvious similarities to classic Heavy Metal. Even 'pure Speed Metal' can be said to be just Heavy Metal as well. For that reason the arguement could be made that Speed Metal should just be lumped in with Heavy Metal(you could say the same for Power and even Doom Metal as well) and not be considered a sub-category of its own. In any case Speed Metal does have characteristics that seperate it from other Metal.

I got that from a guy on Metal-Archives. That explains things well enough.

[FatalEnergy]

Megadeth seems to have quite a bit of Speed metal tunes. I'm not saying they aren't Thrash. They ARE predominatly a Thrash band, but Poison Was the Cure and My Last Words are definately Speed Metal.

NP: Eidolon - The Oath (Mercyful Fate Cover)

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Hangar 18 is definitely a Speed Metal song.

I wouldn't really ay My Last Words is though.

[FatalEnergy]

Why is this thread on the third page?

This thread gets close to really dying sometimes. Thrash news has been thin lately

[Apocalyptic Raids]

probably because all the old regulars are gone.

The thread has been much better in the past month, though.

[FatalEnergy]

That's true. Municipal Waste is coming to SF, I think might catch that show.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

They're playing here in a couple of weeks. It shall rule.

[FatalEnergy]

My friend's band is opening for Hirax, which is cool for them, I guess, but honestly I find Hirax to be sooo boring.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've got their debut, but to be honest I've not listened to it a whole lot.

Katon rules though.

[FatalEnergy]

Yeah, Katon is insane! I got to talk to him once. They play around these parts a lot. They really like making friends with younger thrashers here, even if most of them are poseurs.

[Bazarov]

Sweet Jesus. Municipal Waste was so damn intense. One of the best shows I've been to. My camera's flash is like broken... so they all turned out pretty dark. But my dad managed to get this sick 30 second video of them playing. I also got to meet Land Phil after the show. Jono, you're going to have a ****ing blast.

I'm going to post that video and what pics turned out in a minute.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Awesome.

[Bazarov]

Here's those videos I was talking about.

There's some videos I got. Pictures turned out horrible, I'm trying to see if I can like brigthen them up. I'm somewhere up in front with a Ghoul shirt... that was such an awesome show.

[FatalEnergy]

Awesome

Looks like it was a fun show!

[Bazarov]

NP: Leviathan - Violent Slaughter
Chris Barnes should have kept his vocals like this. I also found Alex and Jack's previous band before CC called Tirant Sin, their stuff on Chaotic Destruction is pretty sick.

[FatalEnergy]

Yeah, very Dark Angel like. Alex and Jack I believe were in a band called Beyond Death. They have a demo called "Yuk Fou", but I can't find it.

It would have been awesome if Barnes sang like that in Cannibal Corpse. He sounds like Don Doty.

[Bazarov]

My facts were pretty much way off there. About Alex and Jack being in Tirant Sin. Oh well. Metal Archives always gets me straightened out. The guy who posted links to get those downloads gave me wrong facts. >:-|

[FatalEnergy]

Hahah, that's cool. I still can't find that Yuk Fou demo, I've looked everywhere for it though.

[Bazarov]

Maybe someone on the Metal-Archives forum has it.... assuming you haven't tried there.

NP: Leviathan - Leviathan

[FatalEnergy]

A little, I don't like that forum, most of the people in there are dicks to me when I try to ask for something.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Ah yeah, I've heard about that Barnes demo. I might track it down one day.

[FatalEnergy]

I deleted it a while ago. I kind of wish I hadn't.

[Nostalgia]

Man, Ghoul is pretty awesome so far. Numbskull is such an great song.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yes, Ghoul are fantastic.

[Nostalgia]

I only have Maniaxe, though.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The other albums are awesome too.

[FatalEnergy]

I have half of Splatterthrash, I've got to get the rest.

Damn Soulseek

[Nostalgia]

Cool.

/Akward

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Splatterthrash is probably the album of the year, so far.

Closely followed by the new Funerot, Frightmare and Wormphlegm.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

10,000th post in the best Thread on this damn site.

anyway guys, you all need to get some Shah. Killer Thrash from Russia.

[FatalEnergy]

I have Total Devestation. Pretty cool album.

[Bazarov]

I just got Infernal Majesty's None Shall Defy. I'm totally loving this.

NP: Infernal Majesty - S.O.S. (Satan Our Saviour)

[FatalEnergy]

That's a great album. The title track is probably my favorite. Anthoology of Death is really cool too.

[Terrorzone]

I haven't heard much of them. Just got A Light In the Dark, its good but a little too rock oriented.

NP-Suffocation-Catatonia

[Poofy 666]

I just got Deathchain's Deathrash Assault .

****ing awsome.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I just got Deathchain's Deathrash Assault .

****ing awsome.
Yeah, it's pretty good.

I just got Infernal Majesty's None Shall Defy. I'm totally loving this.
Awesome album.

I have Total Devestation. Pretty cool album.
Definitely check out Beware too.

[wrathchild88]

AAAAHHHH! all these bands I've never heard of. Looks like I'v got some checking out to do.

In the meantime: Vio-Lence - Ageless Eyes [live]

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Definitely check out Infernal Majesty first. Highly underated band.

[Bazarov]

I can't wait to get an external hard drive this Saturday... I'll have to leech off you you Jono or start using that 666wic666 more often. My last gig of space has slown down my process of finding more thrash bands. :(
NP: Municipal Waste - Jock Pit

[Riva]

Did you recommend me Infernal Majesty a week ago, Jono?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Not that I remember.

Check them out anyway >_>

[Lord Satan]

I got them from RCA earlier. Have yet to listen though.
