Titans Of Thrash

[illmitch]

there's not any apparent venom influence? slayer pretty much worshipped venom and NWOBHM, especially on that album. "witching hour" was one of the first songs they learned how to play.

[Angmar]

nah thats elim


You're joking right?

[Nostalgia]

there's not any apparent venom influence?

well no **** there's going to be some considering venom were demoing in the late seventies, but i dont think it sounds anything like venom. they're two completely different bands.

[Bazarov]

Venom pretty much sucks too. Especially when compared to the when Slayer was the greatest metal band of all time.

All you need by Venom is Don't Burn the Witch and Buried Alive, the rest is pretty meh.

[illmitch]

Venom pretty much sucks too

get the hell outta here

[Bazarov]

Nah, I'm good. Venom are a highly overrated band. And Slayer > Venom

[Nostalgia]

Black metal is a good album and I like the first minute of At War with Satan, but Welcome to Hell bored me.

[illmitch]

welcome to hell is a constant array of filthy raw satanic madness

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njBgG9ZOoQI

don't see how anybody could fail to love that

[Bazarov]

I forget to mention the song In League with Satan. Damn that song is awesome, but yeah, there's so much more better nwobhm bands than Venom. At one point I thought they were godly, but nah, they bore me nowadays.

Slayer on the other hand, still my fav band after all these years.

[graverobber]

well no **** there's going to be some considering venom were demoing in the late seventies, but i dont think it sounds anything like venom. they're two completely different bands.

actually, they weren't 'demoing' in the late 70s. and they had 3 albums to their name by the time slayer had 1, so clearly demos have nothing to do with anything. yes there is an obvious venom influence (you'd have to be a total musical retard like austin to not pick that up) but no you would not call it worship.

Black metal is a good album and I like the first minute of At War with Satan, but Welcome to Hell bored me.

you're an idiot

[Bazarov]

Dude, don't worry about his insults man. Anyone who thinks that RIB doesn't have much going on for it, clearly doesn't have an opinion on metal worth listening to.

[Bazarov]

If you need a shoulder to cry on Austin, I'm right here.

Who is this guy anyway, that Gates of Heaven fag?

[graverobber]

i think Austin doesn't really like it when I come here, because he gets called out and demoted to omega male status once again

[Nostalgia]

i happen to love my down under teddy bear.

[graverobber]

'omg ur so rude i just wanted to catch up im gonna delete u from my msn and stuff!!!'

[Nostalgia]

well we had planned to exchange some music too, if you don't remember!

[graverobber]

what music? dude you were gonna send first, remember?

[Nostalgia]

i actually still have some tapes sitting next to me that you might be interested in. idk how big you are in to tape trading anymore, but im still up for it.

[graverobber]

what are the tapes? still have my address?

[Stevie]

destruction - life without sense has given me a brain hemorrhage

[Bazarov]

Curse the Gods has to be one of the best songs on that album.

[illmitch]

damn why have i not redownloaded destruction

[jrowa001]

Destruction are one of my favorite thrash bands. Antichrist, Inventors of Evil, Thrash Anthems, and D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N. are great. i need to get their earlier albums though

[Nepenthe]

nailed to the ****ing cross

[illmitch]

whenever listening to a metal band i always start from the beginning as a rule

i just dont trust new albums from old bands

[jrowa001]

i tend to go with whatever album i hear about is their best. for Destruction i was told it was Inventor of Evil. it's an amazing album, but right now Antichrist is my fav of theirs that ive heard. im def going to finally get their earlier albums. if theyre still making great thrash albums then im sure im going to like their early albums just as much

and nailed to the cross ****ing rips. just finished listening to it haha.

[Nepenthe]

haha yeah i had to listen to it after i posted that too. its more badass when they play it live, they change the drum beat during the chorus and it just makes it rip even harder.

[jrowa001]

damn that sounds awesome! that song and the whole The Antichrist album has moments like that. need to see them live someday. this little discussion has got me in the mood for some more thrash.

[Stevie]

whenever listening to a metal band i always start from the beginning as a rule

i just dont trust new albums from old bands

well yeah! this rule has about a 90% success rate.


you seriously need to hear some early destruction. basically everything before "nu destruction" is good - that is everything up to cracked brain. particularly eternal devastation, sentence of death

if you see destruction live make out like you saw them live last time they were in your town. they'll call out for you to get free beer

[TimJim]

Nuke the cross

[Nepenthe]

yeah no

[TimJim]

toxic holocaust

[Stevie]

shtie

[south_of_heaven 11]

well yeah! this rule has about a 90% success rate.

the antichrist was a really good album imo

[Stevie]

i haven't heard that one yet

[Nepenthe]

it really is pretty much on par with their old stuff

[Stevie]

** adds to wishlist **

[Nostalgia]

lol early toxic holocaust is pretty good. dunno what people find wrong with it.

[illmitch]

well yeah! this rule has about a 90% success rate.

im definitely familiar with their early stuff - about 3 or 4 years ago i listened almost exclusively to underground metal, and had the majority of their early material then. i started listening to metal again about a year, maybe a year and a half ago, and destruction was one of the bands whom i for some reason neglected to once more acquire.

and yeah early toxic holocaust is pretty cool

[south_of_heaven 11]

i dig both early and new toxic holocaust

first time i heard them though i thought they were terrible? hrm oh well, that changed fast.

[Nostalgia]

yeah its nothing new or original and its a complete rip off of classic bands, but it's still good music. fun live band too.

[TimJim]

for sure.


did anyone notice that thrash as a style is coming back?

[Nepenthe]

i didnt realize it left

[illmitch]

thrash revival has been around since like '04, probably earlier

[TimJim]

its just coming around here in Detroit

[FatalEnergy]

Too bad it sucks

[Bazarov]

I remember seeing bands like Warbringer and the whole retro thrash la area teenage bands at local shows, and now they're doing bigger gigs with old thrash bands and what not... It makes me go wtf!?

[FatalEnergy]

Yeah, Warbringer is gay.

[Stevie]

Too bad it sucks

this

[Blanka Flip]

I hate it how people don't understand that Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, (And all those other bands that sound exactly the same, you know) is just not traditional metal, let alone thrash. I've been in so many conversations with these guys that are like, "What, you don't conisder UnEarth to be real metal? They thrash out man!"

I'm just like.......... . . .. ..

I need to hear Behind the Crooked Cross, heh.

[TimJim]

you mean metalcore bands?

[Deth]

Yeah, Warbringer is gay.

nah, listen to their latest album. It's legitimate thrash.

[Blanka Flip]

you mean metalcore bands?

Yeah, I guess that's the genre that's been created for them. I hate that shlt.

[Bazarov]

nah, listen to their latest album. It's legitimate thrash.

legitimate RETRO thrash. Which means it legitimately sucks.

[Deth]

do you know who I am?

idc if it's 'retro' thrash or not, it's good thrash regardless of when it was recorded. The majority of the new bands suck yeah, but I'm not going to write off the good ones just because they have the misfortune exist now.

[Bazarov]

Nah, Warbringer sucks.

[Deth]

oh you're the same guy who said venom sucks

not worth arguing with

[RetiredAt21]

No he's right, Warbringer does suck.

[Deth]

bro

don't care if you don't like them, just didn't like the dismissal of them because they weren't around in the 80's and apparently 'retro'

[RetiredAt21]

Meh whatever, the fact of the matter is they suck.

[illmitch]

not really a fan of retrothrash but if deth reps them ill check em out

oh you're the same guy who said venom sucks

not worth arguing with

123

[Bazarov]

bro

don't care if you don't like them, just didn't like the dismissal of them because they weren't around in the 80's and apparently 'retro'

I think they just suck. Not just because they're a retro thrash band. They're unoriginal shitty music. Which also happens to be 99% of the retro thrash bands.

[south_of_heaven 11]

War Without End was fun, nothing more. Latest one was boring.

[FatalEnergy]

Even if that **** DID come out in like 1988. It would have been generic as **** then too.

[graverobber]

i dont even see how that band warrants discussion, there's about 3 possible things you could say about them and everyone's been saying them since 2004. as deth said, it doesnt matter when music came out - **** music is still **** music

[Ceminon]

Is Havok worth checking out?

[jrowa001]

ive only heard of the death metal band Havok...which rule

[Ceminon]

I mean this Havok:
http://www.myspace.com/havok

Sounds more like thrash than dm to me. Idk, I think I'll probably check them out sometime when I'm in a thrash mood.

[illmitch]

i'm listening to venom and it rules

LAY DOWN YOUR SOUL TO THE GODS ROCK AND ROLL

[Stevie]

live like an angel
die like a devil
got a place in hell
reserved for me

anyway i have original venom welcome to hell vynyl i win

[Stevie]

i hope vio-lence reform again and play live...a live gig with them would bring some serious pit damage

[FatalEnergy]

Morbid Saint should reform again and poop on all other thrash bands

[Apocalyptic Raids]

yeah... those live tracks on the eternal nightmare re-release from that reunion a few years back are ace.

great band

[Bazarov]

Morbid Saint should reform again and poop on all other thrash bands

if I recall, they were for a while a few years back, but now the members are in some lame band called... Phiston Burton? Something stupid like that.

[south_of_heaven 11]

Morbid Saint should reform again and poop on all other thrash bands

if morbid saint reformed i dont know how many people would able be handle their awesomeness in our time.

[FatalEnergy]

Listening to another new Slayer song. God this is ****ing ghey. Not to mention the thinnest, weakest guitar tone I've ever heard. I've heard punk bands from the late 70s have more filth in their sound. Not mention, they think they can pull off breakdowns apparently now.

[Bazarov]

lol @ Tom's vocals.

[south_of_heaven 11]

Some guy over on Thrash Unlimited said that the album is surprisingly good; very moody/atmospheric (like Seasons, I guess) and made it seem that besides Psychopathy Red, the other two released songs don't do the entire album justice.

I hope that's the case and he isn't bullpoopting...but I highly doubt it.

[Bazarov]

Psychopathy Red does that album justice? I better not listen to the other released singles then.

[south_of_heaven 11]

idk I really enjoyed Psychopathy Red and the feedback on that song has been pretty positive...the other two songs, not so much.

[Bazarov]

Personally, I found that song pretty bad, ESPECIALLY Tom's vocals. They're like rusty nails being scraped onto a chalkboard.

[Blanka Flip]

I read the giant article in the latest Guitar World about this new album...

And if Psychopathy Red is any hint as to the rest of the album... Let's just say I'll be really surprised if Megadeth ends up with the better album. But it's really looking that way.

[Stevie]

I read the giant article in the latest Guitar World about this new album...

oh yeah that

[Meatplow]

World Painted Blood was disappointing

[Benzum]

didn't even know it had leaked

At the end of the day it's just another Slayer album.

[Meatplow]

I meant the title track. No idea if the album has leaked but this is kind of lol.

http://www.myspace.com/slayer

[Benzum]

Yeah that's pretty much guaranteed to put a smile on anyone's face...

not their best work I think it'd be safe to say

[Meatplow]

like a disease, spreading death, erasing your existence

[Benzum]

My scars insane, my life profane
I deny, defy, and spread a little hate, worldwide!

[Blanka Flip]

*Quickly off topic*

Hey Bazarov, could you come over to my apartment sometime soon? I have a horrible ant problem; it would be like a buffet for you!

And to be put back on topic, when I hear new Slayer: I just want Mandatory Suicide.

[Bazarov]

Sorry man, I'm a junkie anteater, I have no monies to travel to where you live, and the money I do have is quickly spent on black tar.

[Blanka Flip]

DAMN THE HEAVENS AND CURSE HIS NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!





It's alright, I'll probably get some more ant traps at Dollar General here soon. :wave:

[Bazarov]

mail me those damn ants man!

[Blanka Flip]

So I stopped by the local Post Office today to see if they will mail ants, and they said. "Sorry sir. We have an anti-ant clause in section 33(AA) of our policy manual, as seen here. *points to small print on a pink piece of paper.*

So I just responded, "Really? Bazarov would really like some. So Fuk you, he's an anteater!"

[Stevie]

...

what do you guys think of time does not heal by dark angel?

[Benzum]

It's ok but I can't stand the vocals.

[FatalEnergy]

Epic ****ing riffage. The sound is really cleaned up though. The vocals are wayyyyy to ****ing monotone, but there's lots of massive *** riffs in that album.

[illmitch]

wasn't there some press release saying there were like 200 riffs on it

[FatalEnergy]

"9 songs, 67 minutes, 246 riffs!"

[Deth]

such a good album

[illmitch]

hahaha yeah thats it

darkness descends is my favorite dark angel

[Stevie]

can be boring though...maybe it's the sort of thing i need to hear 100 times to consider awesome

vocals are irritating yah

[Nostalgia]

cittty is guilty, crimmeme iss liffee, sentence is deathh arrrr darkness ddeceeseennddesssdssd

[Deth]

thrash is the easiest genre to ignore bad vocals in

just need RIFFS and you're set

[Rimmer]

Best modern day thrash has to be agoraphobic nosebleed, there new album agorapocolypse is one of the best thrash/grind albums i have had the pleasure of listening to in a long time, the way scott hull programs the drums is flawless and if any of you mother****ers disagree lick your dead nan

[AA-12]

who the **** considers them thrash

they rule yeah, but not thrash in anyway

[Rimmer]

hence why i said thrash/grind some of there element are thrashy listen to first national stem cell and clone its a thrasy song maaan, tbh i just want to rep ANB on here aha i admit not all there songs contain thrasy elements, but fairplay on being a fan, you dont have to lick your dead nan :)

[Itwasthatwas]

die by my haaaand
coroner is so ****ing good

[Deth]

ugh **** yes

[Jaundice]

if any of you mother****ers disagree lick your dead nanI like this.

[Stevie]

die by my haaaand
coroner is so ****ing good

"i creep across the land" is what i thought you would say next

[Itwasthatwas]

"i creep across the land" is what i thought you would say next

i just threw up a little in my mouth

[Nepenthe]

creeping death is probably the best metallica song in existence

[Itwasthatwas]

which doesn't really say much

[illmitch]

which doesn't really say much

this

[Nepenthe]

nah first 4 albums are good not like ive listened to them in a couple years but its still good ****

[Itwasthatwas]

i remember thinking the first 4 albums were good until i heard other 80s thrash. few ok songs here and there but thats about it

[Bazarov]

Yeah same here. But in my opinion a little Metallica every now and then isn't bad. Unless it's their 90's and up stuff...

GIMME FUEL! GIMME FIYAH!

oh god.....

[Nepenthe]

just because theres better music doesnt mean its still not any good

[Itwasthatwas]

its not that bad its just also not that good
on the note of fuel, my alarm is set to the local rock station and that song woke me up and holy **** that ruined my morning
