Yas queen. What say you on Demolition Hammer? Cause I've been really into Epidemic of Violence lately and while they're very different bands I feel that they have enough points of contact in common that Bolt Thrower fans should love them as well.

Snapcase's Progression Through Unlearning might just be a 10/10 album. Just a totally fire combo of metallic hardcore, post-hardcore, and actually good 90s alt metal. Every song is a banger and that drumming is wild.

Agreed, Snapcase is legendary. The best part about the drums on that album is that pingy snare sound, so dope and iconic.

You can't just keep having all these correct takes or I'll be forced to conclude you're not the best new member ever but a Russian bot.

I'm so honored, thank you for the *beep* compliment! I also think *boop* Deadguy are pretty dope. Do you *beep* like Coalesce?

Deadguy rule but I barely ever listened to Coalesce and I don't know if that's cause I didn't like them or they just fell through the cracks. You ever check out Arkangel or any of the H8000 scene from Belgium? That whole thing is a mini obsession of mine.

Yeah, I actually got into Arkangel from reading your old posts on this forum, so thank you. I think you posted about how they were like metalcore with Slayer riffs and I was instantly sold.

I'm not actually sure if I know any other bands from that scene, any you could recommend?

Yeah just a bunch of meat and potatoes Slayercore that is just very satisfying. I think all those ****ty thrash revival bands bands should have been sat down and forced to listen to this **** to show them how to bring thrash into the modern day without being lame cartoon bands.








And I'll also throw in Maroon's first album cause it's very similar even if they were from Germany.

Thank you for the recommendations! I assume you're talking about bands like Municipal Waste with the "lame cartoon bands", haha. I do definitely prefer this kind of thing to bands like that who just cosplay 80s thrash.

Power metal has a stereotype sound and you can modify that sound with "American" or "80s" to differentiate what power metal you're talking about but mostly to show that you aren't talking about floofy wheedly wheedly "gay" Eurotrash power metal largely from the 90s. Now if you're willing to delve into this cursed form of power metal there is a band who fully embodies all of these stereotypes and embraces full big gay and is completely unobjectionable: mother****ing Stratovarius. Stratovarius are ****ing amazing. They achieve this using everything from actual good songwriting, bitchin' riffs, and most importantly double bass drumming as up front as the guitar work.
