[QUOTE=metal-militia;13415480]Wow the potential line up for the European Gigantour looks great! In your face anyone that isn't in Europe :p[/QUOTE]

:h5:

[QUOTE=pate]Europe lineup > NA lineup > Aus lineup[/QUOTE]

Agreed.

If they come anywhere near me, I'll make sure to be there.

I'm so excited. I just found out Municipal Waste is coming to my town this Saturday. Even though I have to endure The Red Chord and Gwar, it will be worth it.

Gwar are supposed to be awesome live.

I'm not sure about the music...but they have that notorious live show. I'll have to ask my friend about it, he's seen them live twice.

GWAR's live show is awesome, as is their music. They finally added a San Diego date, so I'll be seeing Municipal Waste for the second time and GWAR for the third... yeah, I'm badass.

GWAR is touring? I missed them last time they were around, but I really want to see them. They're killer.

NP: Desaster - Teutonic Steel

Gwar's music is better than their stage show IMO.

The only shows I'm looking forward to is that Destruction show next year and Primus in December. Not much is coming around here it seems.

You're never on anymore.

Um, Bonded By Blood for life.

have I ever mentioned I love you?

Quite possibly, not on any occasions that I vividly remember though.

Except that one night...

oh, that night.


@_@

I was there too. :p

Yeah, that one.

'Twas a good time for all.

Mostly you though, tiger.

rawr

anyway, I haven't checked out much new Thrash lately.

Have been downloading unholy amounts of old-school Death Metal demos though.

It's kind of hard to find new thrash for me lately. And it sucks, because that always causes me to lose interest in the genre, and then I finally go back and remember how good all the old stuff is.

The best chance new thrash grab I've made was Horrorscope. They're not bad.

There are many bands from back in the day that I haven't checked out yet. Problem is, that much of the old-school stuff I've got a hold of lately has sucked. I find with old-school Death Metal you can download something from a band who only had a couple of demos and an EP (not even that) and you can still get some really good quality stuff, on the other hand the Thrash scene was wayyy too over-crowded by '88-'89 or so.

But then I listen to [I]Bonded By Blood[/I] and realise just why life is worth living.

Also, I have zero interest in these retro Thrash bands anymore.

Yeah that's what I mean, most obscure thrash bands are obscure for a reason, and I don't think I've ever heard a good thrash band formed after the mid 90s.

Yeah, that's true. It's almost the opposite with the Scandanavian DM scene. Obviously bands like Dismember, Demigod etc are well known for a reason too, but then you get Abhorrence for example, who only did a demo and an EP, and are absolutly fantastic.

At least we got some good thrash albums post '95.

The Finnish scene ruled them all.

It sucks, but Shah is still the last good thrash band I've found, and that was two or so months ago.

True, Jason.

I think I prefer the Swedish scene, but not by much.

Any recomendations? All I have are the Chris Barnes' demos and Necrovore.

The Nihilist demos are awesome, as is Demigod's Unholy Domain. There's always the Death/Mantas demos too.

Yeah, I got a truck, and somewhat of a life. Busy times these are.

I'm always sure to check in though :)

I haven't found any new thrash bands lately. I discovered DeathChain a month or so ago, but after a few listens the singer really started to piss me off. Cool riffs for the most part though.

Deathchain are alright, pretty solid stuff.
