Yeah. I like SOAD and Deftones as well. Though SOAD I would put more into alt-Metal. Early Deftones I would say fit into Nu-Metal, especially Adrenaline. Just irritating that it seems like the nu-metal fans always wanna disregard the more extreme styles of metal. Just me being my usual curmudgeon self.


But there is a fair bit of variation in thrash as well, depending on the scene. Some owes more to hardcore punk than metal, which I enjoy. Depends on what you are looking for.

Yeah, I could see myself enjoying some of the more crossover thrash type stuff. I actually downloaded one such album today, I'll have to listen to it.

I see ya listened to it.... so what is your verdict. Reason I thought of that album is cause it has a good mix of hardcore punk, crossover, thrash and even grindcore.

this song alone is worth it, heard it on a grindcore comp the first time, and it blew me away, the blast beats are amazing.



was even covered by Napalm Death.

I enjoyed listening to it, it was a lot more in-your-face than other thrash I've heard, and had a lot of hardcore punk influence which I liked. I can definitely hear this band's influence on grindcore. The drumming, to me, was especially interesting.

My knowledge of black metal is very limited and been meaning to listen to a lot more stuff, thanks to the Batlord I`ll kickstart with these two. Everything I listen to will be compared to Celtic Frost (the masters of extreme metal) and Bathory especially his Blood Fire Death album.
