we might have different views of what thrash is, if you can, define thrash metal

[QUOTE=Rising]some of BLS fits into thrash category, but not all of it[/QUOTE]

NONE of BLS' material fits under thrash. The song "Battering Ram" off of 1919 Eternal could be considered speed metal, but not thrash.

[QUOTE=Rising]we might have different views of what thrash is, if you can, define thrash metal[/QUOTE]

A faster, choppier, more aggressive form of heavy metal derived from the late 70's/early 80's hardcore punk scene. The genre combines the quickness of speed metal, and that hard-nosed punk attitude. Thrash can be identified most easily by the "chugga-chugging" on the low E string of the guitar.

Thrash ultimately evolved into black metal and death metal, and the genre (thrash) itself is (arguably) now dead. One could say that the genre was a stepping stone from [i]Stained Class[/i] to *insert black/death metal classic here*.

Thrash is also one of the most narrow genres.

I am not going to define thrash, because i doubt i can do it satisfactorily. But i listen to quite a large amount of thrash and i am fairly certain BLS isnt thrash.

i'll qoute a guy from the GetThrashed trailer:

"Thrash is heavy metal, put to the extreme. Its fast and heavy"

or something like that :p

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]Ryan: I also found someone else with live Razor, who would be way easier to deal with, because he isn't list only or anything. He only asks that you ask to download the video. Username is pissedpat, I think he is actually a guy from the Exodus forums.

I've downloaded off him before, and it was a pretty quick transfer rate.

BLS is definately not thrash at all.

Wicked awesome! Downloading videos from people with low kbps is very frustrating.

One of Finntroll's band members said on their official forums that the tour wasn't official yet. I'll take his word over Blabberf[size=2]u[/size]ck's anytime after that Rick Hunolt thing. :angry:

I want to hear it from Onkel Tom. :D

( to dragunov ) that sucks, thrash has always been a good form of metal, metallica went the wrong way after parting from their kill em all roots,
anyone else notice all new metal bands these days are death metal and such, you dont see anymore traditional metal

Metallica isn't the be-all end-all of thrash metal. :p

Newer traditional metal bands are out there. Most of them mix influences from power metal though, which isn't at all a bad thing. Plus, older bands are still going strong (see Judas Priest, Manilla Road, Brocas Helm, Angel Witch, etc.)

Death metal++

There's alot of great new thrash bands out there, and most of them sound like they're fresh out of the 80's.

Megadeth, Metallica ( Kill em all )
Judaspriest, Motorhead, iron-maiden ( not sure if maiden counts as thrash )
Sacred Reich

Reign Of Terror, Disciples Of The Watch, Over The Wall, Alone In The Dark, and Apocalyptic City. I'm not a big Testament fan (as the others know), but there's the few songs I like by them.

By the way, if you need album recommendations, just come back here and ask. The regs here will be glad to give you some help. :thumb:

The first three Testament albums are good, but try downloading:

Over The Wall
Eerie Inhabitants
Practice What You Preach
C.O.T.L.D
The Preacher

theres probably some more essential songs than that, i just canny be bothered :p

Bascially most of the stuff off The Legacy is worth getting, but don't bother with any more after that.
