Thrash Metal Fans Unite!

I like the D-beat influences on that song. I means, it's very punky in many ways. For the record, I am a fan of all Celtic Frost's output.... even "Cold Lake".

Haha Good way to put it.  Yeah, his vocals are "almost" off key with the music but still fits!
And the music and riffage get a bit technical.

Also check this Entropy (which I featured on my long list) out as well, which has an even more angrier
vocal tone with a touch of funk but still has the technical Thrash thing going.

Now I JUST saw a mini-interview with them about their 3rd album (in 1992) called "Ashen Existence"
and when I heard a cut, I was amazed it was the same band-as they have added a bit more aggression
and "Cookie" Vocals into the 1 song, still pretty good stuff though:




(actually, the vocals are all over the place, but he maintains
that aggressive "chopping knife" staccato vocal style)

Heres one I like a lot (No Cookies):


I'll have to find this album out there .

I strongly recommend this thrasher:



The band consists of people from Massacre, Death, D.R.I. and The Acc�sed, and it kicks ass!!!!

It's actually not out yet, but I've heard a promo, and I liked it very much. It'll be out in August. Read more here.

Here's a preview (warning it's got cheesy horror elements in it):

I�m listening to this one at the moment:

It�s not long ago that I reviewed their debut album, which BTW is a fine piece of technical thrash metal, but this second album is mindblowing to say the least. That�s of course if you can take the extremely high pitched vocals. The vocal melodies take a long time to get into too, but after a couple of spins they begin to unfold.

You probably know Umur, that this is in my Top 10 Best Thrash Metal Albums of all time!
This is a Masterpiece .  Almost got a hold of an LP version long ago, but I have the
1st printing on CD and the Re-Release with the Bonus Track - "One more Red Nightmare"
by King Crimson .

The one that was toughest to find was there Debut album "Endless War" . . .
I had (and still have) the LP but I had only seen it once on CD, that my friend found in the same
store we were shopping at, he got to it before I did .   That was decades ago.
Somebody burned a CD for me from my LP but it was awful, thank goodness for the (Limited)
Re-Releases.
They were the 1st Thrash Band to use Guitar Synths as well.  There was something different
about these guys, I started noticing a few other bands doing more than just "speedy" riffs all
the way through.  There was some intricate compositions going on here, and they were talking
about topical subjects (and Fantastical) instead of the standard Horror.
I then became a bigger fan of the "Tech-Thrash" that started to rise among the rest .

Realm like to use the "Stereo Space" as well, and cool atmospheric sounds in the background,
I appreciate that.

For those who havent seen the other thread:







Suiciety:




(Listen to the nice "subtleties" toward the end . . . brilliant!)

Man! . . .

I am AMAZED that this Documentary doesnt have more publicity.

I was just curious to see if Vimeo (because of a great Prog Doc called "Prog / Film") had a Thrash Metal
Doc.  And there was this Trailer:


Unfortunately the whole Film wasnt on, but on YOUtube, someone had a terribly "Over Dubbed" version
in Russian, but a fellow Latino (Saludos!) put it up under a different title:

(see parts)

"Get Thrashed: The Story of Thrash Metal" has to be one of the most accurate and concise Docs about
the genre I have seen (and so far, I'm only on Part 3 -THATS how great it is ).
This has got me thinking about the greats that started it and has made me appreciate those that I had
maybe-not gave enough cred, but also - for the younger audience of todays Metal scene, it is recorded
proof that, whatever these "kids/trolls" vomit about their limited knowledge on what they "like" and think
are the best thing since the boogers they ate as toddlers, THIS film shows you 1st hand from their
witnesses to influencing them to pick-up Guitars and becoming who they are today . . .

To the Thousand upon Thousands of bands that have taken up the banners in the genre and sub-genres
they influenced.  You will also see plenty of familiar faces talking about the scene and how it shaped
them, many becoming the Bands currently on top of the game.  I will definitely go out and buy this DVD.
