Will report back.
I understand your dilemma. Thrash was when metal really became popular in a big sense, and is subsequently when metal started to become formulaic. If you want to really hear metal in its rawest sense, then learn to listen to early/mid eighties metal from before the "change".

Early American power metal may not be what you're looking for, but as far "rawness" goes, it was at least not what you're used to from either MTV thrash or European power metal. Cheesy it may still have been, but it was metal at its purest. Iron Maiden without the polish, basically.

But if you're not willing to go that far, then early eighties black metal might have some goodness for you. Raw and trashy (by today's standards), but still extreme for its time.

I usually really dislike heavy/power metal singing, but I'll still check those out.
One of the reasons I enjoy Slayer so much is the unobtrusiveness, non-cheesiness and non-ridiculousness of Araya's singing.

I'm pretty familiar with early BM, but my perception might have changed and I'll check those out as well. Thanks!

If you want to get into 80s metal, then you have to get over cheesiness. Otherwise you might as well just keep on as you've been going on. 80s metal is cheesy for the most part and there's just no getting around it. But metal cheese is the highest quality Gouda, so I implore you to try.

Oh, check out Celtic Frost. They are certainly dated, but they were arty as all ****. Thrash, black, and avant garde metal all in one...

Greetings, all, I'm looking for new alt/experimental/progressive metal bands. I love Tool, Dillinger Escape Plan, Mastodon, Dream Theater, Deftones (don't judge) and Gojira. Does anyone know of some new or up and coming bands that sound like these?

Thanks in advance,

STORNOCK

Really dig your thrash recs.

Had/have lots of fun with:
Dark Angel - Darkness Descends
Death Angel - The Ultra-Violence
Exodus - Bonded By Blood
Morbid Saint - Spectrum Of Death
Sodom - Agent Orange
Vio-Lence - Eternal Nightmare

The other stuff didn't do much for me, as expected.

Have you heard Aura Noir? They're not pure thrash, but rather blackened thrash, and so I think they'd be a good fit for what you're looking for. Though the vocals are mildly cheesy at times.



The whole album is an excellent classic, and the demo which came before it is quite good too. Their other stuff is also fairly good, but some of it isn't as raw. I think the album that came after BTA, called; Deep Tracts of Hell, is also quite raw if I remember correctly, but I don't feel like it's as much of a classic. It's still really great, though.

Edit: Here's a song from Deep Tracts of Hell.

It's not bad, but I can't say it excites me a lot.

Really fun album.
I doubt we are the only ones, if the rym-rating is to be believed, it's pretty highly regarded.
