So, allow me to begin by asking if any of you know what 'Kronik' by Voivod is like?
I know it has a lot of live recordings and remixes on it but I haven't actually heard it.

don't know, isn't it a compilation ?

For any Voivod question, please feel free to PM UMUR he seems to be a specialist. Anyway I remember discovering them with dimension hatross, it sounded so different to eny other metal bands I was exposed to (it was 18 years ago, I was 12 y.o.).

Regarding thrash metal, some of my favourite albums of the genre :
- Metallica : 'master of puppets'
- Slayer : 'hell awaits'
- Death Angel : 'the ultra-violence'
- Testament : 'the legacy' (mandatory) also I love the most "commercial" 'souls of black'
- Never : they have two albums, don't remember the titles (polish tech thrash band)
- Dark Angel : 'darkness descends' (progsters will prefer 'time does not heal' but I like darkness for its power)
- Overkill : 'Horroscope'
- Suicidal Tendencies : 'Lights...Camera...Revolution !' and the more "commercial" 'the art of rebellion'
- Sepultura : 'arise' (I discovered them with 'schizophrenia' but prefer 'arise')
- Kreator : 'coma of souls' (mandatory)
- Coroner : 'mental vortex' and 'grin' (both mandatory)
- Annihilator : 'Alice in hell" (mandatory)
- Megadeth : 'rust in peace'
- Mekong Delta : 'dances of death'
- Turbo : 'Epidemie' (polish band, tech thrash on this album [they went thorugh many metal styles during their career : heavy, thrash and even death], features Grzegorz Kupczyk on vocals, the polish Bruce Dickinson), also their last effort 'Tozsamosc' (moe heavy than thrash) is excellent (avoid the english versions of their albums, Grzegorz has a very strong accent))

There are also german bands Sodom, Tankard and Destruction but I enjoy less their music.

I like your choice of Megadeth and Suicidal Tendancies. Thumbs Up
May I suggest, 'Set The World On Fire' by Annhilator...
...it's very good.

It contains some techno/electro remixes which are pretty cool if one is into both metal and (non-pop) techno [I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with the techno subgenres]... well, I guess they're kind of industrial. I think they're pretty interesting. Then there are some 'previously unreleased' tracks which have not been tampered with by DJs. These are pretty good, too. And then there are some live tracks. It's probably nto the first Voivod album the uninitiated should buy, but it is quite interesting.

Hey guys, I like a good singer in thrash. Do any of you know other bands I could pick up on?
Here's the bands I already like, to give you an idea of what I'm into... Approve
Annihilator
Anthrax
Megadeth
Metallica
Pantera (excluding the last 3 albums because of the excessive screaming)
Voivod
Slammer
Slayer
Meliah Rage
Suicidal Tendancies
Death Angel
Toxik
Flotsam And Jetsam
Heathen
Forbidden
I would be very happy if you could suggest some more.Big smile  It would save me trawling through all the screamers, which I find unpleasant. ie. Sodom, Kreator and so on...

Well Nevermore is usually labelled Power metal but they have lots of thrash metal elements and an outstanding vocalist in Warrel Dane. They are highly recommendable if you ask me.

^I�m sure you�ll be blown away by Nevermore then. And if you find that you enjoy Nevermore be sure to check out Sanctuary as well. A couple of the members of Nevermore used to play in that band. Sanctuary released two albums in the eighties/ early nineties that are also on the border between power metal and thrash. Especially Into the Mirror Black is highly recommendable. Sanctuary has just reformed BTW and will according to Warrel Dane release a new album.

hi Jen
try Overkill's Ironbound, Testament's The Formation of Damnation, and the latest exhibit series of Exodus
if you like a good young band that plays the classic bay area style, you have to check out :

Evile
Havok
Hyades
Lazarus A.D
Warbringer
Warpath

there are a lot of other bands, but that should do for now  Thumbs Up

Polish band TURBO ('Kawaleria szatana' is their best, both musically and vocally, but it's more heavy metal oriented than thrash metal, I enclose below a song from 'ostatni wojownik' (the last warrior) a 100 % thrash metal album)

Altered Aeon�s sole album is also recommendable if you enjoy technical thrash metal: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/altered-aeon.aspx - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/altered-aeon.aspx

Updated 4/20/11.

Nevermore
!!!
One of my all time faves Big smile!
Though I REALLY dont like that they are called "Powermetal" as PM vocals are always melodic (clean) and follow a melody/Classical melody as the Guitar leads-follow in suit.  And the Drums are what me and my friends call "Happy Feet" LOL as the double bass are at constant rumble, not a lot of real time-changes.
Nevermore are really more of a "Tech-Thrash" Metal with Prog Metal elements (imo).  But they are heavier and have more time changes than most Powermetal I've heard (Though Symphony X and Blind Guardian break the mold too, and the founders of PM "Helloween" were more like a faster Iron Maiden Smile), and super SUPER tight, and they pull
it off Live as well.
LOVED Sanctuary too, I have their 1st "Refuge Denied" on LP, "The Mirror Black" and the somewhat rare "Into the Mirror Live/Dark Reflections" on Cd('s).

Heres Nevermore Fucking Shit Up!


Jeff Loomis was the lone Guitarist on their debut but checkout the Solo, its INSANE!  And Van Williams has to be
the most underated Drummer out there! (Nevermore seems to like Forbidden as they have had 2 Guitarists from the
Bay Area neighbors- Tim Calvert, and current 2nd Lead Steve Smyth).

Recent Update:

This apparently was written when Nevermore's latest "The Obsidian Conspiracy" debuted, as a NEW
Sanctuary
album is being made! Shocked
http://www.metalsucks.net/2010/06/30/less-is-nevermore-the-warrel-dane-interview/#more-38956" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalsucks.net/2010/06/30/less-is-nevermore-the-warrel-dane-interview/#more-38956

"Hey, speaking of the bass player and the music of your life, I am fuckin� psyched about this long-overdue Sanctuary reunion!

[laughs] Yeah, wait �til you hear some of the new stuff! I�ve got a song that I�ve been working on the last few days. It�s pretty frickin� cool.

You�re not joking right now? You�re already working on music?

No, I�m not joking at all! It sounds like Into The Mirror Black stuff, which obviously is the evolution of our sound. We�re going to really start rehearsing again and just [pauses] deal with it. It feels right for some reason. I know I said years ago that I wouldn�t do this. That was probably because most of us weren�t really friends. We didn�t talk to each other.

No shit!

No, the ending of that band was weird. It got kind of ugly at the end. Eventually, we grew up a little and started talking to each other again. Now, we�re in a place where we�re good friends again. Which is cool cuz we�re all different people now.

I had always thought that Len [Rutledge, Sanctuary guitarist] � He tried a couple bands after Sanctuary broke up, but then he kind of quit doing music. One day, it occurred to me that he�s too talented to not be doing something. I thought, maybe we should work on something together and see what happens. It happened very slowly. It�s a good feeling.

Hey, those Sanctuary albums were magic. You guys were on track to eventually contribute an undisputed classic album to the genre. Everybody knows that. But working with Dave Mustaine on the band�s first record must�ve been weird. How old were you even?

Oh my god. I was a kid. You know what, I have to tell you: I am going to go back and take more voice lessons before I even think about recording another Sanctuary record. I have to! I haven�t been using that aspect of my voice for years because in Nevermore, I don�t think it�s really appropriate. When you�re singing that way, you have to be consistent. And since you�re never too old to learn anything, why not go back and take lessons?

You challenged yourself on those records. No doubt about that.

Oh yeah."

Clap

 . . . OH Yeah! Smile

What I like about Nevermore and similar bands being categorized as power metal is that they provide some hard and heavy counterweight to the cheesiness of a lot of other power metal bands.

I'm not too familiar with Voivod. I have their albums up to Nothingface, as well as their newest but I hated it.


Thrash Metal is great!
Megadeth
Metallica (up to AJFA of course)
Slayer
Anthrax
Testament
Exodus
Sepultura
Dark Angel
Voivod

Also, Lamb of God and Mesuggah since they are considered thrash metal here LOL
On that note, Nevermore is one of my favorite bands! I like to think of them as neoclassical power prog thrash!

Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal!

Looks good to me, though I'm not an expert on the genre. At least I found what I was looking for, I finally used the Loudtrax gift certificate I won in May on Flotsam and Jetsam's Doomsday for the Deceiver, thanks Clap

Now I notice they aren't in Thrash, but anyway found them LOL

Oh man!  You need an "Education" on Overkill 101 LOL

In order of Appearance:
With original Line-up and the "1" Guitarist Bobby Gustafson-
2. Not their debut but a great place to start- "Taking Over".
3. Under the Influence
4. Years of Decay
Gustafson starts off as an excellent Riff Master, but a "Noodler" when it came to Solos.
Then by the time "Under the Influence" came out (I think at-least 2 years later) He seemed
to have attended Guitar Tech University and Graduated with Honours! Clap What a difference
those years made for him!  Really solid albums those 3.
But apparently he was at odds with Bassist D.D. Verni over the direction of the Band (???).
So came the years of various "Dual" Guitarists:
5. Horrorscope
7. W.F.O.
I skipped their "6th" album "I Hear Black", it has a few good tracks but they were trying to see
if they'd find success with the "new" sound gaining ground-The "Aggro" type Metal, a bit
slower and even a bit "Doomy" and it failed miserably, for a few Years you could find it used
at just about any outlit that sold CD's.
Both Horrorscope and WFO feature Guitarists Rob Cannavino who had been Gustafson's
guitar technician and Merritt Gant from Thrash Metal Band "Faith or Fear".
Excellent Riffs and Solos between them.  After WFO, the only 2 left of the original Line-up
would be Vocalist Extraordinare (but on some of the later albums a bit too much-but then
comes back down to earth) Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth and Bassist Verni and many line-up
changes.

I thought these were the strongest releases, these are the core of what Overkill was but I
have not had a chance to listen to their last 4 albums Stern Smile.
Many tracks can be found on YOUtube as well as my Faves at Time Signatures Post that I
"Linked" earlier (on other page) on "80's/90's Thrash".
Oh what the 'ell, here ya' go (My post on page 1):

It's funny, I love thrash metal and like to listen to bands from my home NJ and for some reason I just never got around to overkill. Then over time, well out of mind I guess. Also as I got more into pro I turned away from thrash for a while.
Thankfully my love for it is back.
I am going to look into them for sure!

Voidvod (Huge fan of "The Outer Limits" and earlier works) quiet fantastic prog metal band.
Dream Theater (a fan since "WDADU" Smile . . . on LP!)
Symphony X ( if you like powermetal don't miss this band. they are mix of rapsody with dream Theater)
Opeth ( this band is a must. One the best metal band will hear. in my opinion. they are quiet powerful and incredible)
Pagan's Mind. this band sometimes sounds comercially metal but they are quiet fantastic.
Nightwish (just now getting more into them and appreciating it more these days) it took a while to get into them but they are quiet original they stuff remains me of Ayron.
Riverside Riveside is quiet like Porcupine tree but heavier.
Angra ( powermetal from brazil)
Dreamscape ( similar to Dream Theater quiet fantastic new band.)
Pain Of Salvation ( this has to be one the greatest and quiet original prog metal band that  to my ears are the Pin FLoyd of Prog metal. don't skip this quiet amazing band.)
Judas Priest
Enchant (Such an underated and great Band!) yeah very underated.. quiet amazing vocalist.
Zero Hour (Incredible!) agree love their heavy and powerful sound.
Winds. ( winds are a very oscure and have a very clean prog metal sound mix with stings. quiet great.
Watchtower (The Math Metal Pioneers along with "Cacophony") to bad they only sereral albums if I am not mistaken.
Fates Warning (The Arch era as well-as Alder) LOVE this band so fucking much!!! great records and emotional vocals and lyrics.
Andromeda (Been a fan since their 1st "printing" of the original debut with "Lawrence
Mackrory" on vocals Big smile) great stuff..
Ark (My Fave "J�rn" Band) Yeah Jorn to me is the greatest  vocalist right now. And I thought mainard was. but Jorn is quiet breath taking.
Ayreon (Arjen is a genius! Love his other projects as well) agee!

Sieges Even (Very sad they are not together anymore, but we have "Subsignal" Smile) mand that is sad news that I didn't know I love their albums so much.

 thanks kiddo for the comments! you made smile.Big smile
We share the same thoughts. however I love metallica until The black album and I love all Dream Theater material.
If don't the rest I unrgelly recomend them highly!
Also check Porcupine Tree if you don't know yet and spock beards. these bands are more prog than metal but if you like enchant and sieges even you will enjoy them also check Knight area, Arena, Collage, Explostion In The Sky, WLP I don't want to overwell you. LOL did I just did? I will check you link thanks..

But absolutely love (I'd write comments next to all but I'm tired):
Iron Maiden love all. the new is pure Maiden.
Megadeth some times I think that Megadeth is better than metallica.
Metallica (up to "...And Justice for All) until the black album.
Voidvod (Huge fan of "The Outer Limits" and earlier works) quiet fantastic prog metal band.
Dream Theater (a fan since "WDADU" Smile . . . on LP!)
Symphony X ( if you like powermetal don't miss this band. they are mix of rapsody with dream Theater)
Opeth ( this band is a must. One the best metal band will hear. in my opinion. they are quiet powerful and incredible)
Pagan's Mind. this band sometimes sounds comercially metal but they are quiet fantastic.
Nightwish (just now getting more into them and appreciating it more these days) it took a while to get into them but they are quiet original they stuff remains me of Ayron.
Riverside Riveside is quiet like Porcupine tree but heavier.
Angra ( powermetal from brazil)
Dreamscape ( similar to Dream Theater quiet fantastic new band.)
Pain Of Salvation ( this has to be one the greatest and quiet original prog metal band that  to my ears are the Pin FLoyd of Prog metal. don't skip this quiet amazing band.)
Judas Priest
Enchant (Such an underated and great Band!) yeah very underated.. quiet amazing vocalist.
Zero Hour (Incredible!) agree love their heavy and powerful sound.
Winds. ( winds are a very oscure and have a very clean prog metal sound mix with stings. quiet great.
Watchtower (The Math Metal Pioneers along with "Cacophony") to bad they only sereral albums if I am not mistaken.
Fates Warning (The Arch era as well-as Alder) LOVE this band so fucking much!!! great records and emotional vocals and lyrics.
Andromeda (Been a fan since their 1st "printing" of the original debut with "Lawrence
Mackrory" on vocals Big smile) great stuff..
Ark (My Fave "J�rn" Band) Yeah Jorn to me is the greatest  vocalist right now. And I thought mainard was. but Jorn is quiet breath taking.
Ayreon (Arjen is a genius! Love his other projects as well) agee!
Dominici (Have been a fan of his since buying Dream Theaters "WDADU" on LP!) great albums I think mike porney was wrong with  Dominic.
Hourglass (Nice! Really cool band!) I think this a project but what a fucking great album.
OSI (Kevin, Matheos, Portnoy and Harrison have succesfully combined Radio Head
meets Dream Theater Tongue) jajajajaj!!!!
Sieges Even (Very sad they are not together anymore, but we have "Subsignal" Smile) mand that is sad news that I didn't know I love their albums so much.
Tool ( if you dont know Tool? I would say stop reading this post and start looking for their album it is a must.
Vanden Plas ( this band are very much influence by Dream Theater great albums.
Circus Maximus I
(The others you listed I am not familiar with but would like to check them out , G&R . . . I DONT

"Swallowed in Black" :

Swallowed in Black is a pretty awsome album. I even named my old death/ doom metal act after the song Last Abide ( http://www.myspace.com/lastabide - http://www.myspace.com/lastabide ) from the album. I didn�t really enjoy A Vision too much back then but I will give it a re-listen before I write my review sometime in the future.

Hmm, thats what I thought, you mis-understood, the bands I put on my long list that I copied
from yours are the ones I have heard (In my collection and heard on PrOgulus) .

Your list is pretty much a staple at prOgulus.  I see and hear soo much obscure stuff there, I
now base my purchases on the "Album Covers" I recognize from bands I liked on the station
when I go to my fave music stores Big smile!
Or . . . I was into many of the Bands when they debuted from blind picks or reading Trade Mags
many years ago Smile.

The ones I have not heard I "left out" (hehe, you didnt notice the Bands not listed from your
original) . . .I'm confused now, is everyone else Tongue?

The bands I dont know are from your original List (well only 2):
Never ending story
VII Strada

and Guns and Bozos who I heard enough over the years, if I wanted sloppy Hard Rock, I'll take
any Aerosmith up to "Done with Mirrors", at-least they do right LOL.
But the Aerosmith of the last 15 years is all about sappy ballads that find its way to Movie
Soundtracks and Top40 radio, and "Lifestyle maintenence", not because they are hungry and
want to prove something . . . "Yesterdays gone, it went by, like dusk to dawn . . ."

But back to the THRASH topic Wink . . .

Neverending story is project album by Sebastien Anborg from Light Of Nova. it real heavy istrumetal album He plays all the instruments.
VII Strada is  Italian prgmetal band that sings in Italian. real good stuff.
I have a real soft spot  for G&R first album. It was one the very first hard rock/metal albums that I really liked. Now they are a joke!
and Aerosmith has some real good songs but some that I real don't like at all.

Yeah, filthy and raw is the way to go! RawksTell me about it, Mike really lets it rip, insanely fast.  Superb album, sort of a carefully guarded secret in the thrash metal world. Not much mentioned relative to say a Sodom or Sadus, but those who do mention it praise it to the skies.

Well . . .

Last week I got the NEW "Forbidden" album (My Local Store gets some pretty cool stuff a few days
before the actual due-date Smile) "Omega Wave" . . .
Wasnt even looking for it, was just going through the Metal Section Bin and THERE IT WAS! Shocked!
Now that I have listened to it for a few days, it is clear to me that this album kicks major ass and
should be sought out by any Tech-Thrash fan.

Hehe, heres where it gets a bit weird LOL . . .
Even though a great album, I miss Tim Clavert, even Glen Alvelais from "Forbidden Evil", but Tim's
style was something that shined and had me take notice from "Twisted Into Form" and onto
"Distortion".
Tim would go on to join Nevermore on "Dreaming Neon Black" and "Dead Heart in a Dead World"
which are 2 of my faves by them.  He would then sadly quit the biz, as he had a great steady
9 to 5 and a Family to take care of.
Enter "Steve Smyth", he joins Forbidden with Tim's old cohort and original Lead Guitarist Craig
Locicero
, If you know Forbidden's sound, you can hear Craigs great riffage and soloing that has
been a staple of the Band.  Steve does an excellent job in the new line-up and having his own
Tone . . . AND as many may know, Steve was a member twice with Nevermore Big smile!

I was also wishing Drummer Paul Bostaph would be back after fame with Slayer and Testament,
he'd be with his old Band-mates from Concord Ca. But we have new-comer "Mark Hernandez"
doing an ample job (great feet work) but was wishing for more variety on the cymbals (Steve
Jacobs from "Distortion" and "Green" I thought did an excellent job) but hey, awesome work!
"Matt Camacho" on Bass always delivers since the beginning, so no complaints from me.

The sound is still "Bay Area Thrash" all the way, and thats how I like it, stands up to the Swedes
as my fave "Continents" of Thrash Wink.  But as Forbidden would have it, some of the most
intelligent and contemporary Lyrics to march through our times, many topics I can relate to that
interest me and to contemplate.  But what are words without a great vocalist?

Why I love this album.
And his name is Russ Anderson, the main reason Forbidden IS Forbidden, the Giant Red Haired
Viking DEMANDING you to listen and look toward him on stage!  This album shows ALL his
diversity as a singer, grunter, screamer, yeller (and even a bit of Barking/Cookies) as-well as some
cool melodic/harmonized vocals!  He pretty much uses all his vocal ranges that he's ever used
and then some, and the inflections he uses-emphasising certain words, he's a mechanic of the
Vox . . .
He reminds me why he is still my favorite Metal Vocalist (And thats edging out Dio, Martin,
Dickinson and Tate), though I only hope he can keep healthy and lay off the "Blunt" till after the
shows Tongue.
I've seen the man sing and was lucky enough to be handed the Mic 5 times (To my SHOCK he had
said to the Band "This is the 1st person I gave a Mic to-who sang in the same Key" Embarrassed), as he can
hit those "Rob Halford 5 octaves"! He is truely amazing, and is a moment that will be remembered
forever.

I am enjoying every minute of this album.  From the Metal March Intro of "Alpha Century" into the
Full Fucking Aggression opener "Forsaken at the Gates" to the end with the Middle-Eastern tinged
Epic "Omega Wave" as violent as its content of meaningless War under Zealotry.
But I find that "Hopenosis" has been staying on my mind since the 1st listen, groovy, catchy and a
political view that I find familiar.

I hope that you will be thrilled as I am Clap.  A truely excellent album.

Forsaken at the Gates:


Hopenosis:

I am in a period of rediscovery with Thrash Metal recently. I listened to it back in the day sporadically and when I was first playing in bands. Then I sort of lost track of it in my Prog Metal period.
 
But, some of my old faves include:
 
Forbidden
Metallica (first 5)
Overkill
Annihilator
Slayer
Testament
Dark Angel
Believer
 
I never was much into Anthrax or Death Angel...although Act III and Sound Of White Noise had some good moments...
 
Recently, I have been impressed with Warbeast, Lazarus A.D. (haven't heard the new one yet, though), Avenger Of Blood, Blatant Disarray....
 
Then there's the  "old bands I'm just now disvovering"...Destruction, Sodom, Sadus...
 
So, I guess I'm in sort of a personal "Thrash Revival"...

I really enjoy many artists on the border between death and thrash metal. Acts like Defleshed ( more death then thrash, but still very thrashy) , older The Haunted and Legion of the Damned. Just fierce aggression all the way through. It�s not surprise to anyone that I�m Slayer fanboy number one eh?

Sacrilege from UK (Crusted Thrash Metal):
 
Living Death from Germany:
 
Accuser from Germany:
 
Paradox from Germany:
 
Angel Dust from Germany (Speed/Thrash Metal) it is the same Angel Dust who nowadays plays Power Metal. The albums are practically not available unless you find a fan who is willing to sell them for a high price:

Hey ppl! I am a thrash fan, so here is me joining the Union!

My eye caught a discussion on the latest Forbidden. I've given that baby a lot of spins, so I can give my first impressions. It's a good album. Forsaken at the Gates is the best song off the album and there are a couple more on that level. It is not better than tha first two, the songs are just not up to par with the classics on the first two.

As for Russ Anderson, he is one of my favourite thrash singers (stressing the word singer here) but while his performance on this album is dynamic and full of energy, he is not utilizing his voice to its fullest potential. I don't know if that is because of the songwriting or his age but I was a bit disappointed.

Man . . .

Since being soo busy the past few months, I've missed out on a lot,  I have soo much to review and comment
about I dont know where to begin.

Umur, I really liked Altered Aeon! Never heard them till now but that Album cover looks very familiar.

This is what I'm more into, Thrash with Technicality all the way Clap

Hey guys, I like a good singer in thrash. Do any of you know other bands I could pick up on?


Paradox was mentioned, I have only heard 1 album and thats "Heresy", before recently being re-issued, it took
me over 17 years to find it on CD (I've had it on LP), when I was at one of my fave Record stores (that I'd later
work at, then their Wholesale Warehouse/Record Distributor to find TONS more jems) in the "Bargain Bin"
(98�!!!) I just happened to come across it in 2005! With a dog-eared Cover but was soo happy to find it Smile.




Heres some other great melodic (and "somewhat") vocaled Thrash and Tech-Thrash Bands:

Panic:


Powermad (This stuff was way ahead of its time!):


Laaz Rocket:


Entropy
(Can.):

(They need to put up more Audio-Tracks from this great album!)

Xentrix:


Realm (an absolute fave!):

(1st Thrash band I heard use Guitar Synths!, their 2nd "Suiciety"
is a Tech-Thrash/Prog Metal masterpiece).

Rosicrusion (another obscure fave):

(previous album sounded more Death Metal and w/ the original
vocalist/grunter.  This album retains the Death Metal sound musicaly).
Be sure to stick-around for the "Hidden Track", like Athiest, these guys prove
that many Metal Bands can indeed play "anything" Big smile.

Reverend
:

(What a HUGE loss to have David "The Reverend" Wayne depart this Earth,
former front man of Metal Church Cry).

Sabbat (U.K.):

(Okay, just cant talk about these guys enough, most fans HATE this album Tongue,
and Guitarist (and now Producer/Engineer extraordinaire) Andy Sneap said
that he just put "Too much into it" :P  Most like the ferocious Vox and master of
the English language Martin Walkyier [left to form Skyclad] and its Folk/Pagan
Tech-Thrash.
After he left they hired-on a more "Operatic" Vocalist Ritchie Desmond, and
create some pretty incredible Tech-Thrash/Math Metal!
Its too bad that this album is now the RARE find-as their 1st 2 have been
re-issued Smile).

Prototype:

(Another incredible band, plus- Lead Guitarist Kragen Lum plays with
Heathen and appears on the latest "Abysmal Dawn" [Death Metal] album,
and Singer/Guitarist Vince Lavelois are friends Wink.  They are also working
on a new album!). Great Tech-Thrash/Math Metal!
And . . .

Their "Thrash" Band (as how they started) Psychosis:

(And it was a great honour to design their new Logo and the "Icon" behind
it, and have the great "Travis Smith" to add his finishing touches! Embarrassed).

Dont forget . . .
Heathen (from their 2nd in 1991):


Okay . . .
Thats it for now (I'm tired! Dead).

Not enterily my cup of tea, but I bought Dew Scented - Invocation once. It's modern thrash with many Death Elements, perhaps one of you will enjoy it, my fav song from the album.
Dew Scented - Arise From Decay


Another album I bought (got this one really cheap) was Torture Squad - Hellbound. Modern Thrash from Brazil. It isn't the best I've heard but it got some really nice and catchy parts. The song structre is also really intresting.
Torture Squad - Chaos Corporation


And just to close this with a classic. It's from Celtic Frost's masterpiece Morbid Tales, one of my fav album of all time.
Celtic Frost - In the Crypt of Rays

I�ve listened to quite a few Dew Scented albums and always thought they were a kind of pale copy of The Haunted. A few more death metal elements but otherwise in that vein. I�d listen to The Haunted any day over Dew Scented.

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".

I finally got around to taking a listen to the US thrash metal act Panic ( thanks for the recommendation AntonioClap). Man I really love their snarling "fuck you" attitude.
 
 
 
Put a bit of very early Megadeth, some Exodus and a big spoonful of Overkill in there and you�re just about there.

Haha LOL 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 Smile.

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.

Maybe their first couple of EPs and demos are. I don't know about their 2011 album, which is released on High Roller Records.

You probably know Umur, that this is in my Top 10 Best Thrash Metal Albums of all time!
This is a Masterpiece Big smile.  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 Smile.

After you told me about the re-releases I ordered both the debut and Suiciety. Great purchases they turned out to be. Highly recommendable to fans of technical/ progressive thrash metal.
 
I actually read a review of Suiciety back in 1990 or 1991, and I�ve been looking for the album ever since. Until the re-release in 2006 I didn�t have any luck.

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 Tongue.   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 Smile.

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 Wink).
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.

Watch

Learn

Experience
