You know, the new Death Angel record is pretty fucking rad. Yeah, I know it's not anything like The Ultra-Violence, but who cares. But then, I preferred Act III over that anyway, so that's no surprise.

Why do thrash freaks insist that everything sound pure, with no other musical influences or change whatsoever? I'm just as happy listening to this stuff as a Kreator clone (hello, Avenger of Blood).

Oh c'mon I say one little thing and you get this riled up? I'm not saying that it's for sure, I'm saying that it's a fucking possibility. I'm pretty sure that Heathen will not go 'geigh' on us, but you can't deny the possibility.

Pretty sure VoD knows Lee and the guys personally.

Amerigo: Whoa, this Torture?

If so, holy shit snapples. Yeah, they're one I could not see going the groove route at all.

I talked to the new guy Torture recruited, Nick Nielsen, recently over youtube and he said they were recording new material I think. I therefore asked him whether they were gonna have any groove influence and he denied it and said they were "classic thrash all the way"

This is his youtube account if anyone wants to message him...

I find it funny that the first band he lists on his favorites is Pantera and then Damageplan

Onslaught promised no groove.

As well as In Flames and Children of Bodom...

But he also has Morbid Angel, Slayer, etc. so let's hope he has the idea of "classic thrash" right.

Onslaught promised no groove. This is a regular occurance with reunited thrash bands. Though hopefully Torture won't do the same though I would not put money on it.

I love thrash but never heard any late 90's thrash album so i dont know what "groove" means, any examples or songs i could listen to get an idea of what groove is?

Could anyone rec. me some good Crossover bands? I'm looking for some heavy thrash/crossover. Bands related to D.R.I., Suicidal Tendencies, and S.O.D. are acceptable

Check out Cryptic Slaughter, Wehrmacht and Carnivore.

Cryptic Slaughter are good, and Carnivore.
I'll check out Wehrmacht though, thanks.

Wehrmacht are indeed fucking amazing. Especially the debut, pure speedy goodness. I'd also suggest looking into Cro-Mags, (early) English Dogs, Ludichrist, Crumbsuckers, Fearless Iranians from Hell, and (early) Ratos de Porao.


For some more recent Crossover I'd look into Short Sharp Shock, their debut is fairly solid, with great bassy production.

You know about Pariah...right?

hey, can anyone recommend something along the lines of slayer, anthrax, or EARLY metallica?

Have you not heard the demo?

Who says I'm riled up? You? You said one little blasphemous thing. I know Lee, and I've had this conversation with him many times before, dating back to 2005.

Any Melodic or Groovy Thrash bands like Annihilator?

Megadeth - Rust in Peace (Number 1 in the Thrash metal album survey thread)
Artillery - Fear of Tommorow (Vocals not as high pitched as By Inheritance, though the production is a tad rawer but I would still say somewhat melodic)
Mastery - Lethal Legacy (modern instrumental thrash)
Annihilator - Alice in Hell (melodic and technical)
Vendetta - Brain Damage (Not sure if melodic is the right word but it is very cean sounding and quite influenced by NWOBHM with riffs that are quite different in style from other thrash. Some good ballads here to)
Deliverance - Deliverance (Bay area sounding christian thrash)
Gama Bomb - Survival of the Fastest (new band with modern production but done well . Sounds like Nuclear Assault meets Agent Steel.
Mortal Sin - Mayhemic Destruction (Not to far off Ride the Lightning era Metallica)
Ultimatum - Into the Pit (Quite progressive Christian thrash with a very heavy metal sound and even includes an excellent Maiden cover)

Yeah, I'm sure he was referring to that Torture. I didn't know they reunited... now, what are the members of Morbid Saint doing? Demolition Hammer? Dark Fucking Angel??

And none of the members of Morbid Saint ever did anything with any other metal band, so they aren't returning ever.

Dark Angel isn't returning. Don Doty is a family man now with an established career. Ron was told by doctor that if he wishes to walk for the rest of his life, he needs not sing anymore. He had a condition with his spine that ended up in this situation.

And none of the members of Morbid Saint ever did anything with any other metal band, so they aren't returning ever.

Highly, highly doubting that right there.

Ugggghhh. I bet those guys have awful, monotonous desk jobs just like me. Picturing the people who wrote "Assassin" filling out mindless reports and reading mundane memos in some random office with dull, soul-sapping lighting makes me sick to my fucking stomach.

edit: Er, what is this Hallowcore business on the Morbid Saint page? I don't remember seeing this. The only thing a google search turns up are various comments about how bad it is. Anyone know where I can hear some samples?
