I still can't get over the fact that Jason Newsted was the one who discovered these guys and got them signed

^^The man has an ear for avant-grade stuff, he helped Voivod get back on their feet, even his first band Flotsam and Jetsam experimented with their sound after he left, if only Metallica had valued him more…

True. And even though Newsted's stint with Voivod is probably my least favorite era of theirs, I don't put any of that on Newsted himself, but rather the band trying to regain their artistic footing in general

Any bump is a good bump. Sadly unknown classic album. They were doing the precursor to mathcore (or whatever Primus mixed with Dillinger Escape Band and Converge would be called) in the 90s before it was ever a thing.



Also, Metallica letting Jason go was the worst thing they could have done. Their live shows suffer so much from it.

Definitely has some of that Bungle sound, but not nearly as off the wall with all the crazy sounds as Mr. Bungle always was. I personally always felt it was like Primus meets Minor Threat with some prog rhythms and time-changes thrown in (which could be a precursor to Mathcore kind of stuff) or like a BATS goes prog-metal.

That was a cool read. I thought I had found everything Thought Industry related on the internet.



You can get the Desecrator (pre-Thought Industry) demo and the first Thought Industry demos here:

Reading about their interactions with Metal Blade in the Songs/Mods days was pretty painful when I initially read this but yeah, it's fascinating. It also just goes to show how overdone the Bungle comparisons are.

Agree with both those statements. The Bungle thing is off just because the circus/keyboard/spastic vibe was never part of Thought Industry.



I've read about Metal Blade having issues with anything that strays too far from a traditional metal sound. Anacrusis had issues with Metal Blade not understanding them, and their sound isn't even that left of center.

I found that kind of weird considering that this was the same label that oversaw Fates Warning's discography from The Spectre Within to FWX lol
