My Thrash Metal Nostalgia Thread (hardcore, single, genre, albums)

Inuzuka Skysword · 06-20-2008, 06:32 PM

I am happy about this thread because I never got into thrash. To me, the genre sounds samey and really bland. I can appreciate Metallica and stuff, but a lot of the more underground ones are overrated and play the same boring heavy riffs.

I liked Anacrusis though.

Coroner came from Sweden and adopted a more progressive leaning within their Thrash sound with each album taking in many more influences however their debut R.I.P is fairly standard Thrash with some nice tempo changes and some nice bass work. This is the title track and is a nice slice of the different influences that were creeping into the classic Thrash sound.

Death Angel were another band from the Bay Area and were American Filipino. What stood these out from the crowd was their incredible live intensity for a band so young. The drummer was unbelievably only 14 when they recorded this debut and the rest of the band were under 20! The albums production is meaty and raw and the band stuck to a heavy thrash/speed sound that showed metal influences instead of punk influences. Another debut that is hailed as a classic and the title track is a brilliant instrumental displaying all the characteristics of what Thrash Metal was about:

For a 14 year old that kid is pretty good. BTW, I got the Anacrusis album and absolutely loved it. I may even get the Coroner album too. Can't wait for the rest.

Great stuff. Anacrusis were a little different to what was going on at the time. Coroner's follow on album 'Mental Vortex' is even better than R.I.P but it is on my other PC and I have'nt had a chance to grab all the music of it yet. I'm pleased that you are digging the thread.

Death Angel must have been born with liquid thrash in their veins! I got carried away and did my knee on the desk... cheers JACK

You are young. You will survive!

You better have Ride The Lightning in here. Ten times better than Kill Em All and a million times better than the rest of the crap Metallica put out post-Black Album. Shame you can't put in a Megadeth album because of it. =p

I personally don't have much nostalgia for thrash metal (because I was unborn...chyeah) but my friends were some of the biggest metalheads ever. I discovered a bit through them, and an amount of good thrash like Death Angel.

Sweet thread, keep up the good work.
