Titans Of Thrash

[pate]

Old Sadus is great, new Sadus is terrible.

[AA-12]

^yer

[Cocaine]

I've only heard new Sadus, which explains it

[FatalEnergy]

Go get the first two albums, and mabye even the third. They shred.


NP: Vio-lence - Bodies on Bodies

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've only got the first two Sadus albums. I heard a couple of songs off the new one, and they sucked.

[CaptainWaits]

I finally got "Taking Over" in the mail yesterday. My Overkill discography is now officially complete, along with their live DVD :)

[Apocalypticon]

I finally got "Taking Over" in the mail yesterday. My Overkill discography is now officially complete, along with their live DVD :)

Impressive. I only have Feel the Fire, which I really like.

[FatalEnergy]

Go get The Years of Decay and Horrorscope, those two are flawless

[Apocalypticon]

How do those two compare to Feel the Fire, better or worse? Are they pretty similar styles?

[FatalEnergy]

Feel the Fire (along with Taking Over) are far more speed metal constructed. The Years of Decay has a lot of variety. Really thrashy, some epic sounding stuff, and Overkill has a doomy song on every album. Horrorscope is pretty much non-stop thrash all the way though, but with a tad bit more groove in the songs. The only exceptions are the doomy title track and the ending melodic ballid-ish song. Both are well worth getting

[pate]

I don't like them hardly at all. I have Taking Over, Horrorscope, TYOD, I Hear Black, Killbox 13, ReliXIV, and the DVD.

[CaptainWaits]

Through their entire discography, I've found every album is worthy, though some more worthy than others. My top 3 at the moment would probably be "Feel the Fire", "Horrorscope" and "WFO".

"WFO" is my favorite from '93 on. It's such a wicked album, and the bass is LOUD.

[Mother]

Thrash bands are springing up everywhere. The genre has been given new life.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The thing is most of them probably aren't worth listening to.

[Mother]

yeh but Evile are \m/ .

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah I've got their EP, it's ok. Nothing special though.

I'd be willing to bet the majority of those bands are Kreator rip offs. I don't know why, but everyone seems to try shamelessly ape the old German scene.

[AA-12]

ape them \m/

Kreator ripoffs can be good

[pate]

Because they think it's new and exciting.

[Mother]

yeh. i guess everything has been done before. L:(

http://www.myspace.com/mentallydefiled these guys are like old speed stuff

[Deth]

Speaking of Kreator, I just got into them. Great stuff.

[Bazarov]

some of those bands on that list really really really blow. For example I've seen some of the new LA thrash bands such as Fueled by Fire, Merciless Death and Warbringer. Warbringer is the only half decent one there. The singer of Merciless Death needs to seriously stop.

Some bands need to completely stop. I saw another LA band once call D.A.F. (Drunk As ****) or maybe it was Drunk As ****) But they were a complete rip-off band. They played 2 songs I can remember one called The Ballad of Mister Miagi and it was totally just S.O.D.'s Ballad of Jimmi Hendrix.

WAX ON
WAX OFF
WAX ON
WAX OFF
YOU'RE DEAD!!

It was retarded.

Additionally, the other song was another rip-off of Nuclear Assault's Hang the Pope. It was a blatant rip-off sounded exactly like the song, only thing was they just said, "Kill a cop, kill a cop kill cop!". If the majority of them would sit down and try to make a song and not rip off other bands it'd be fine.

[pate]

Dammit.

Anyways, speaking of new thrash metal bands, I'm kind of pissed that I was going to see PC Deathsquad on the 6th but it has been cancelled, though I'll be seeing them on the 13th with Hirax. Too bad I think Hirax sucks.

[AA-12]

u suck

[wrathchild88]

Evile
Mutant
Headless Cross
Hexen

I enjoy these bands, which are the only bands on that list i've heard of. I will be seeing Mutant and Evile live in a couple of days. \m/

I think thrash is making a comeback as well.

NP: Sodom - Lead Injection

[Bazarov]

u suck

noe u

Seriously, I could never see what the fuss is about Hirax.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Hirax are alright, but they're not really anything special.

Katon is the man though.

Dude, exactly. Bands like Fueled by Fire, Hatchet, Merciless Death, Warbringer, Rattlehead, and all the other bands that dress like it's still 1985 are so lame. They are nothing but ripoffs. All they do is take Exodus and Vio-lence riffs, make them unoriginal, and play them. It's all speed picking! And the vocals are horrendous. I think if you put all of them on a compilation cd you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between each band. /Rant

You pretty much described the modern Thrash scene.

There are a couple of exceptions though.

[playguitar]

You pretty much described the modern Thrash scene.

There are a couple of exceptions though.

It's sad really. Nothing new is being put into the genre, I don't think that they realize they'll never get anywhere past the local clubs if they aren't interesting. There aren't enough idiot fans to sustain mediocre thrash bands anymore. This doesn't really matter, but I have noticed that all the people into this stuff are Mexican. 95% anyways, it's really funny to see these guys with beaner staches running around with $100 Reeboks, tight pants, denim vests and bullets. It's sad again, they're dressing up, to be thrash, which is exactly what it isn't supposed to be. They're acting like hair metal guys.

[FatalEnergy]

Yeah, it ridiculous. The bad thing was I almost fell into that crap. Luckily I got my head out of my ***. All this new thrash sucks.

Thrash used to be my favorite, but now it's really hard for thrash to impress me. I hardly listen to it anymore sadly. Occasionally I'll listen to Vio-lence or Hypnosia or something, but for some reason it really stopped appealing to me one day.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It still appeals to me, but I don't listen to it much anymore. It gets to the point where you are just checking out really average bands given how long Thrash's golden period lasted.

[FatalEnergy]

My old band was thrash, and I always thought we were much better than those bands like Merciless Death, because we always saw them as generic and we figured just don't be like them, but after a while I just kind of realized it's all been done before and it's so worn out anyway. It totally put me off.

Exactly, what are you gonna do that Metallica/Slayer/Testament/Vio-lence/Death Angel/Kreator/Megadeth/Sadus/Exodus/Sepultura hasn't already done? Be faster? No. More creative and still sound mostly thrash? No. More technical? No. These bands are all rip-offs of rip-offs. It's thrash for the stupid sake of thrash.

[paraply]

Or maybe it's thrash for the stupid sake of playing the music that you love, without caring what people like YOU think? If people enjoy playing it, so be it. You don't have to listen to it.

[pate]

Okay....he never told them to stop playing.

[playguitar]

Or maybe it's thrash for the stupid sake of playing the music that you love, without caring what people like YOU think? If people enjoy playing it, so be it. You don't have to listen to it.

I don't tell them to stop playing it, it just sounds bad and it's silly. They love it to the point where they're hurting it and giving thrash a bad name.

[Hardhat]

I hardly ever listen to thrash, save Municipal Waste, Ghoul, and a couple Slayer songs. The genre doesn't interest me as much as it used to. No bands are really taking the genre to new levels right now, so it's kind of boring.

[Apocalypticon]

Thrash died in the 80's and early 90's. I don't think it will ever come back, but thats ok cause nothing will ever replace the classics anyway.

[Bazarov]

I guess if it's kept at a local level, I don't really care. But it's bands like Toxic Holocaust that are pretty popular that blatantly rip off bands like Kreator that I have a problem with.

[FatalEnergy]

Thrash now is pretty much a self-parody now. I'll just keep to the classics. The thing is that I rarely even listen to the classics anymore :(

It's just retched the point where it can't grow or stay interesting anymore.

[CaptainWaits]

I'm going on a pretty big Thrash binge right now. Overkill's still my top metal band, but other than them, I've only come to like a couple others (Exodus and Death Angel).

So I'm asking, what are some Thrash groups similar to those that I should look out for??

Maybe try some Dark Angel or Flotsam and Jetsam? I personally don't like the latter but you might.

[wrathchild88]

MEKONG DELTA

eagerly anticipating a new album...

[FatalEnergy]

I really like them. They're very unique

[Apocalyptic Raids]

So I'm asking, what are some Thrash groups similar to those that I should look out for??
Nuclear Assault, Vio-lence and Exumer

You might already know them though.

[CaptainWaits]

Yeh, I know of all 3, but I still like it when people are re-introducing me to bands like these.

I was huge into Thrash about 2 years ago, but then I lost most of my tastes, and now only listen to those 3 I mentioned. So I'm appreciating it when you guys are mentioning some important bands :)

[paraply]

Testament, Forbidden, Anthrax, Heathen, Annihilator.

[FatalEnergy]

Wow, Onslaught is back with a vengeance. I'm impressed.

http://www.onslaughtfromhell.com/mp3Onslaughtsm.swf

[playguitar]

Testament, Forbidden, Anthrax, Heathen, Annihilator.

I never liked Forbidden, Annihilator, or Heathen. Or Anthrax too much.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I enjoy Anthrax and Heathen every now and then but there are better bands. Annihilator aren't very good and Forbidden have about 3 good songs. Mind you, Forbidden's good songs absolutely slay.

[pate]

After Testament, I like Heathen the most out of that list.

And I don't think Annihilator is near as bad as everybody says.

[AA-12]

Wow, Onslaught is back with a vengeance. I'm impressed.

http://www.onslaughtfromhell.com/mp3Onslaughtsm.swf

God damn, that's an awesome track.

[Bazarov]

wow that's actually nice. I might have to check out their new album when it's released or what not. I have The Force and I've always thought it to be mediocre. And his vocals seem to have improved.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

That wasn't too bad, even if it sounded exactly like modern Sodom.

[FatalEnergy]

More M-16 style not the s/t

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It actually reminded me alot of Lords of Depravity, but yeah, overall M-16 is very much like that.

[south_of_heaven 11]

More M-16 style not the s/t

M-16 is by far one of my favorite albums of all time.

Wow, Onslaught is back with a vengeance. I'm impressed.

http://www.onslaughtfromhell.com/mp3Onslaughtsm.swf

That's pretty sick. I know what I'll be checking out soon.


But there is a newer thrash band that I adore that really has it roots in old-school. They're called Flesh Made Sin...don't know if you guys know them or not cause I really haven't skimmed through this whole thread, but you can find some of their tracks here:

http://www.myspace.com/fleshmadesin

[CaptainWaits]

Wow, Onslaught is back with a vengeance. I'm impressed.

http://www.onslaughtfromhell.com/mp3Onslaughtsm.swf
Sweet track. I'm glad I'm getting back into this. :)

[Terrorzone]

So I just downloaded Sons of the Jackal by Legion of the Damned and its pretty much interchangable with their S/T.

Np: Atheist-On They Slay

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I noticed they had a new one out, I probably won't bother with it though.

[Terrorzone]

Yeah, their S/T was good for a few spins, but got old fast. They are a good example with what is wrong with the modern thrash scene.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah. The only new Thrash I intend on checking out is the new Sauron EP whenever those lazy bastards get around to completing it.

[FatalEnergy]

Sauron never really did much for me. The Total Death cover was cool though

[Terrorzone]

I actually own Thrash Assault, its one of the better retro thrash albums. I haven't heard their new EP, how is it?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I don't think the new EP is out yet, but I heard a couple of songs from it a while back and it was good from what I remember.

[Terrorzone]

Nice.

Do you guys like Anacrusis? I have Suffering Hour, and its pretty damn good. Sometimes the vocals are a little much, but everything else is awesome.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've got Suffering Hour. To be honest I haven't listened to it that much.

[FatalEnergy]

It's decent. Nothing more

[Terrorzone]

I'd say give it another chance, I dismissed it as boring when I first got it, then came back to it a couple of months later and was pleasantly surprised.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It's decent. Nothing more
That was my impression too.

[pate]

I like them.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah but you like Testament

>:-D

[FatalEnergy]

Ohhhhhhh. I still like Testament. :(

They introduced me into metal past Metallica and Iron Maiden.

I rarely ever listen to them at all anymore though. Hell, I hardly listen to thrash at all anymore.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I don't hate them, I just think they've overrated and lazy.

[FatalEnergy]

Yeah, I would have to say that's true.

[pate]

Lazy, yes. Overrated???? Not at all. Underrated is the correct word. :P

[FatalEnergy]

The bay area band that really didn't get the amount respect they deserved was Vio-lence, not Testament

[Bazarov]

Yeah but Vio-lence's Nothing to Gain is completely weak.

[FatalEnergy]

Compare it to the weakest from every other Bay Area thrash band. It's godly next to Testament's, Exodus's, Forbidden's, Death Angel's, and so on

[pate]

I never see any respect for Testament more than "They're decent"

I know several people that put Vio-lence in their top 5 bands.

[Bazarov]

I think they could be a lot better without that vocalist.. Chuck? I don't know his name. But I'm not fond of his vocals at all, that's my main beef.

[Nostalgia]

I love tetament and vio-lence is really good. Not my favorite (refering to vio-lence), but probably in my top 20.

[pate]

Testament is in my top 3, and Vio-lence isn't in my top 75 at least.

[GenuineImitation]

Testament is tied for my first favorite thrash metal band with megadeth. Both are within my top 10 bands. Live in London is probably one of my favorite live albums as well.

I havent listened to them alot lately, but I started again the other day.


NP: Testament - Perilous Nation

[pate]

Live in London is such a great DVD.

[GenuineImitation]

Live in London is such a great DVD.

I only have the cd. I really want the DVD though, but it needs to wait until I have some cash to throw around.

[pate]

It's awesome. You haven't lived until you've seen Eric's antics while playing, and watched Chuck air-guitar on the mic stand for the whole show. :lol:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Vio-lence would probably be in my top 10 Thrash bands, but definitely not overall.

[FatalEnergy]

Yeah, they'd be in my top 10 too. I'm just more partial to the Teutonic Thrash.

[playguitar]

It's awesome. You haven't lived until you've seen Eric's antics while playing, and watched Chuck air-guitar on the mic stand for the whole show. :lol:

I was never a huge Slayer fan but I stayed up late to see them live on the Jimmy Kimmel show last night... Can I just say that Kerry King is a terrible lead guitarist. Are the leads that awful on the studio albums?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Pretty much.

[AA-12]

Eh, I absolutely love Slayer. I don't really see anything bad about them except for the new stuff. The old albums had amazing riffs.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I like Slayer alot, but the solos are pretty crap. Slayer is all about the riffs anyway so it's cool.

[AA-12]

Yeah, the solos aren't memorable, but it's thrash.

Ugh, that was so disappointing. I knew they were going to play Eyes of the Insane and I should just go to bed, but nope, my fanboyism made me stay up till 1am to watch them play that song. Tom's voice sucks now so bad, but it's different for me when I see them live.

Me personally, I used to like Slayer and the solos, then I was like, eh.. this sucks, but now I like them, I think they fit the music very well.

[FatalEnergy]

Eyes of the Insane is probably the worst crap they've ever written. EVER.

I've just so put off of thrash lately, I've been almost growing to dislike it.

[pate]

Alex Skolnick and Eric Peterson FTW :chug:

Hell yes!

@Fatal Energy: I've been really losing interest in thrash, save for Testament, Sodom and Sabbat.

[Bazarov]

I wouldn't say I've been losing interest in it. But I've been finding myself listening to more black metal bands as of lately. It's a phase probably. I went from thrash to death metal to thrash now I guess it's black metal.

[pate]

I just don't get the same level of enjoyment from thrash that I do from, say, Dismember and Unleashed.

[FatalEnergy]

Yeah, all thrash just seems so uninspired lately to me.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I don't listen to it anymore, except the odd Bonded By Blood or Peace Sells listen.

[FatalEnergy]

Same here

[CaptainWaits]

Quick Testament questions....

Which is better...."The New Order" or "The Legacy"?? And is "Low" worthy to have?

[FatalEnergy]

The Legacy is the better one, and Low is decent, quite good actually for mid-90's thrash.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I prefer The New Order.

[FatalEnergy]

The New Order has too many boring unnecessary interludes. It may appeal to a guitarist, but to me it's a snooze fest.

[pate]

I prefer The New Order.

Same. They're both classic albums though.

[CaptainWaits]

What do you guys think of "The Gathering"?? I found it used for $8 bucks, so I bought it. I like it. Some songs are good to headbang too, and I like the vocals for the most part...

And then how does "Low" compare to "The Gathering"?

[pate]

I like The Gathering more, but Low is a great album as well.

The Gathering for 8 bucks was a good find!

[FatalEnergy]

I like two songs on that album. I found it to be pretty much crap.

[Stoic]

/referring to the first posts of this page

I suspect the problem with thrash is that there isn't really a new scene to keep you alert. Listening to the same old bands, no matter how good they are, may be tiring...:-\

[FatalEnergy]

There is a new scene I suppose, but it blows ***.

[Stoic]

It seems that thrash ended somewhere in early 90s and didn't develop further. With the rise of death and black and the fall of punk and the end of a golden era (=80s), I don't think much could happen though. It's clearly an 80s style. Many times I get the impression that newer bands (and I'm talking about those who are considered good, no some neo-trash ones) cannot match with the classics simply because they weren't lucky enough to live in the 80s.

[FatalEnergy]

All new thrash to me sounds just so generic. Ripoffs, and just no change.

The only new thrash I like would be Hypnosia, Legion of the Damned, and Deathchain, and they all stray into some Death or Black metal at some time or another.

[Luc214]

I don't listen to a whole lot of thrash, just Exodus and Slayer.

[pate]

Legion of the Damned is decent. The only new thrash I really like is Horrorscope, but they aren't exactly original.

[FatalEnergy]

They may not be the most original band, but they don't sound tired and worn out or as if they're trying to copy old bands.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

They only new Thrash I really like is Municipal Waste, Ghoul and Bewitched and they aren't purely Thrash. Sauron and Hypnosia are good too, but I get sick of them easily.

[Shadows]

For the newer thrash, I'm a Deathchain kind of guy. But that has a fair bit of death metal in it.

[jjbraunius]

For new thrash I dig Detonation, that has a bit of melodic DM in it as well.

As far as old thrash, stuff that I still like is
Destruction, most of Kreator. The best new album from old thrash band - Exodus "Tempo of the Damned".

I personally can't stand the productions on most of the old Metallica albums, "Kill'Em All" is the only album I can listen to in its entirety.

[paraply]

Haha, I just listened to the song Mephisto by Horrorscope, and the riff of that song is just a slowed down version of the riff of Through Eyes of Glass by Forbidden.

[Stoic]

omg omg omg, Toxik Reunion!

[ThrashMaster27]

Howdy kids,

How goes the Thrash thread? you're all boring and stopped listening to Thrash? Yeah, I've had the same problem. I've been listening to a mesh of Early Corrosion of Conformity and Blood Duster. I recently met one of the Blood Duster guys down the pub... he was quite amusing.

He said that their latest album will be called 'Odins Ride over Northland' :lol: Northland is a shopping centre near to me.

Blood Duster - Givin' Stiff to the Stiff

[AA-12]

Corrosion of Conformity kicks sooooo much ***. Their music is so catchy. They are constantly getting stuck in my head.

Nice avatar btw

[ThrashMaster27]

Yeah, I like their older stuff cause it's decent crossover and I like their later stuff cause it's laid back and relaxed music. They sound like two different bands from Animosity to Deliverance. I've always had a soft spot for Southern Metal, so I guess that's why I like both eras.

Jon! you fat gay, what are you listening to these days if it's not Thrash? the Spice Girls? you great bender. I bet you're still beating up Lebo's aswell, you Cronulla racist :lol:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

yeah I've just been round the northern beaches of sydney starting race riots etc

the usual.

[CaptainWaits]

I took my username 3 years ago from that the album Animosity :)

I still love COC. "Blind" is their pinnacle IMO, however I enjoy all of their albums.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've never got around to checking out CoC.

[FatalEnergy]

I was never a fan. Boring if you ask me.

I thought this thread died.

[BassMasterMike88]

Ok guys, feel free to help me out here, a buddy showed me this song called Splatterthrash by Ghoul and I really dug it, any suggestions how I should go about finding more Ghoul or what album I should consider picking up in the future?

[Nostalgia]

Do you have AIM? I can send you that album. If not, I can probably find a link.

[AA-12]

Get Splatterthrash. It's sooooooooooooooo good.

[pate]

All Ghoul is soooooooooo good.

[CaptainWaits]

I haven't heard Splatterthrash yet. The other two are sweet albums though.

[FatalEnergy]

Ghoul really never did anything for me honestly.

[pate]

I haven't heard Splatterthrash yet. The other two are sweet albums though.

I would say Splatterthrash is their second best album. Or second worst, if you want.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I rate them like so

Maniaxe > Splatterthrash > We Came For The Dead!!!

Speaking of Ghoul, they have left Razorback Records and are going to be re-releasing mastered versions of the first two albums.

[pate]

That's the same order I put them in.

[RetiredAt21]

Ghoul! :thumb:

[Deth]

Ghoul \m/

I have yet to hear the first album but would rank the other two in the same order.

I also have an awesome Ghoul shirt that I love.

[AA-12]

Speaking of Ghoul, they have left Razorback Records and are going to be re-releasing mastered versions of the first two albums.

Yesssssssss!

[Poofy 666]

Why did they leave Razorback?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Why did they leave Razorback?
They won't say.

[WARPATH_88]

Normally I'm not that much of a thrash fan, but at the moment I'm in a huge thrash phase. Some of my favorites include Megadeth, Kreator, Municipal Waste, Anacrusis, Annihilator, Nuclear Assault, Sodom, Exhorder, etc.

[-Listy-]

Testament
Kreator
Metallica (kill em all, RTL)
Megadeth
Death angel
Suicidal tendencies

are the thrash bands im pretty much into. Havent listened to quite a few of them in a while though.

[Apocalypticon]

Municipal Waste

ah yes I knew I was forgetting something from my list

[AA-12]

I absolutely love trash. The old thread RIP :(

[Riva]

Just bump the old thread. I won't mind.

[WARPATH_88]

i pretty much like all thrash bands. The ones I listed are the ones I listen to the most. I think the only thrash bands I have a hard time listening to sometimes are Nuclear Assault and Annihilator.

[Eliminator]

Only good bands named are Slayer and Municipal Waste.

[WARPATH_88]

Just out of curiosity, have you heard all the others?

[Eliminator]

Most of them.

Oh yeah and Suicidal Tendencies but I don't think they're plain thrash.

[pate]

Anthrax
Megadeth
Exodus
Testament
Dark Angel
Overkill
Destruction
Sodom
Sepultura
Iced Earth


The ones I like.

[Riva]

Testament \m/

I hate Sepultura, though.

[WARPATH_88]

I hate Sepultura, though.

Yea some of their stuff is really bad.

[Poofy 666]

Has anyone heard of Violator? Great crossover from Brazil. Reminds me of Municipal Waste.

[Riva]

Heard of them, and fairly certain I've heard a track of theirs a while back. Pretty good stuff, they did remind of me Municipal Waste, yeah.

[Poofy 666]

Chemical Assault was surprisingly enjoyable.

[Grumma]

Metallica
Kreator
Testament
Slayer
Iced Earth


I'm a relative Thrash n00b but they're the ones I like most/have heard.

I've heard a little bit of Anthrax and also Megadeth but I wasn't a huge fan.

Iced Earth would clearly be my favourite out of the ones mentioned above

[Apocalypticon]

I've always thought of Iced Earth as more of a PM band than a thrash band.

[Grumma]

*shrugs shoulders*

They lie somewhere between the 2

[Apocalypticon]

meh they just remind me of Iron Maiden alot

[Grumma]

Yeah I've always seen Schaffer as the equivalent of Harris

[Apocalyptic Raids]

IE are pretty Thrashier than your average PM band but I'd still call them PM.

[pate]

^^^ Jono speaks the truth.

[Inflames]

Carnivore, a thrash band from the late 80's is worth checking out.

[Grumma]

I can remember listening to them ages ago.

They weren't half bad from memory

[Stoic]

*shrugs shoulders*

They lie somewhere between the 2

Iced Earth debut is pretty thrashy, in the way early metallica was.

[pate]

I call them power/thrash, but they lean more to the power side.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Carnivore aren't too bad.

[AA-12]

Carnivore is awesome.

[pate]

Very much so.

[WARPATH_88]

I'm a relative Thrash n00b but they're the ones I like most/have heard.

I've heard a little bit of Anthrax and also Megadeth but I wasn't a huge fan. And also look into Anthrax and Megadeth more if you havent heard much from them. They both are really good.

Iced Earth would clearly be my favourite out of the ones mentioned above

You should definately check more of these thrash bands out man. Its good stuff.

As for Iced Earth, I think they are thrash and power metal, like what pretty much everyone else is saying. Some songs are thrashy, some are power metal.

And I need to check out that band Carnivore. I have never heard of them.

[Stoic]

I've NEVER liked Anthrax AT ALL. Was even a time these guys played thrash? :confused:

[-Listy-]

I hate Anthrax.

[AA-12]

Anthrax rules. WTF you guys :(

[Stoic]

Duude! Tell me four songs you can't go wrong with to download.

[AA-12]

Anything from Spreading the Disease or Fistful of Metal, preferably the first.

[Stoic]

I doubt I've ever listened to such old Anthrax, should be good. I'll download Spreading the Disease tomorrow and let you know soon enough. In which album did the decline begin?

[AA-12]

I like most of their stuff to be honest, so I dunno.

[pate]

Their first few albums are excellent.

I'd say the decline began with Persistance of Time.

[Poofy 666]

After Among the Living. You should get that one its my favorite from them.

When they played Deathrider when I saw them live during the reunion tour, it was pure mayhem.

[pate]

They were quite good when I saw them opening for Priest. That was a kickass show.

[Poofy 666]

I was 13 when I saw them. They were really fun. Danny threw a pick at me and I got to high five Joey since I was all the way up at the front :D

[Grumma]

You should definately check more of these thrash bands out man. Its good stuff.

I'm pretty new to metal other than nu-metal in general.

First heavy metal song i heard was Hallowed Be Thy Name off Dance Of Death

[pate]

Please tell me that you are joking.

[Deth]

Hallowed is off Number of the Beast :). Unless you meant and Dance of Death, I dunno.

Something is weird tonight with the newer users.

[marcoze]

Anthrax in a Musical sense was alright by me, but i HATE anthraxs' vocals. With a passion.

as far as some good thrash that people havent really heard of (as far as i know)

Accuser
artillery
asassin
warfare
sacred reich
razor

etc etc etc

THRASH RULES!!

[AA-12]

Artillery is one of my top 3.

[Apocalypticon]

Would you guys consider Agent Orange Sodom's best album?

[AA-12]

Yes. I love the new one though.

[Grumma]

Please tell me that you are joking.

Dance of Death tour aka Death on the Road

My bad :p

[Poofy 666]

Daath on the road (lol)

Who else is as excited as I am for the new Blood Freak?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Would you guys consider Agent Orange Sodom's best album?
I do, but for everyone who says Agent Orange is their best you will get someone who thinks Persecution Mania is superior.

[marcoze]

I do, but for everyone who says Agent Orange is their best you will get someone who thinks Persecution Mania is superior.

+1 to Agent Orange followed closely by Obsessed By Cruelty wich actually sounded a little black/deathish to me i liked it

[pate]

I like Agent Orange more than PM, but it and Tapping the Vein aren't too far behind. M16 and the self-titled complete my top 5 Sodom albums.

Artillery

I've not heard them. Recommend me an album?

[Inflames]

by inheritance

[Stoic]

Definitely By Inheritance

[Inflames]

fear of tomorrow isnt bad either

[wrathchild88]

Terror Squad is also good (the album, I havn't heard the band). The stuff I've heard off their latest offering, B.A.C.K. is also good, but not quite By Inheritance good.
Artillery were scheduled to play at a festival this summer but I think it was cancelled. They're still around as far as I know.

[marcoze]

I like Agent Orange more than PM, but it and Tapping the Vein aren't too far behind. M16 and the self-titled complete my top 5 Sodom albums.



I've not heard them. Recommend me an album?

Fear of Tomorrow is their best that ive heard.

I notice a trend with me liking albums........I tend to like the first one more than any of the other ones reguardless of bands

[Stoic]

Yeah, this has happened to me a lot of times maybe because I tend to start with those that are considered to be the best :-\

So, I heard half of Spreading the Disease. It was sweet to hear that Anthrax were indeed thrash at some point but still...couldn't finish the album, I got bored. :(

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I think Among The Living is much better, although Spreading does have Madhouse and Medusa.

As for Artillery, By Inheritence is their best followed by Terror Squad. In fact, By Inheritence would probably be in my top 5 Thrash albums.

[eug008]

So who here likes Annihilator? I dig their first two albums but then they suposedly get ghey after that, so I won't bother with the rest.

[FatalEnergy]

The first two are okay, pretty average.

Persistence of Time > All other Anthrax

By Inheritance > All other Artillery

About the Sodom....I'm neutral, my favorite is Tapping the Vein

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I dislike Annihilator.

[FatalEnergy]

They're nothing special.

NP: Sodom - Deadline

I really only listen to Teutonic Thrash now. It's kind of funny.

[metal-militia]

Not a fan of Annihilator, although their first album is allright.

Persecution Mania > all other Sodom stuff. Fact.

[pate]

Not fact, but it's up there.

[metal-militia]

Sorry my friend but it's a fact. It's pointless arguing with me about it, just ask Jon :p

[pate]

Not a fact.

[FatalEnergy]

Tapping the Vein > All other Sodom

I'm the strange one here that says neither AO or PM

[WARPATH_88]

but i HATE anthraxs' vocals. With a passion.

I think Overkill and Nuclear Assaults vocals are much Much MUCH worse than Anthrax's vocals. Musically those two bands are pretty tight though.

[Stoic]

Nooo. Nuclear Assault vocals are cool :(

[Slapping Penguin]

I need to get some more Thrash. However Vio-Lence is awesome as it Razor.

Delfeshed does a good cover of Nuclear Assault.

[Poofy 666]

/bump

new Municipal Waste song: http://www.myspace.com/municipalwaste

[Apocalyptic Raids]

yeah I listened to that one. It's okay, but a couple of the riffs sound so similar to their previous songs.

[pate]

Testament is playing one date of Sounds of the Underground.

They hardly play any U.S. shows, and then they go and play for hardcore kiddies. :confused:

[WARPATH_88]

Nooo. Nuclear Assault vocals are cool :(

Kinda cool yes. But annoying as hell. But all ive really heard by them is Third World Genocide. Maybe they are better on their other stuff.
