My Thrash Metal Nostalgia Thread

[whitefeathersnpr]

It would be a great idea although people like Demonoid and Comus are possibly more au fait with the Avant Garde Metal scene but I know enough to get by.

That's better, wrong album, but much better

I dig it! Man does that artwork suck though.

Never heard them. To be honest ther was so many Thrash banRAB around at this time that the scene collapsed upon itself. Even now upon revisiting a few banRAB (some I still listen to), it is evident that many banRAB punched above their weight.

Sodom

Sodom were and still are one of Germany's most influential and iconic Thrash banRAB and having witnessed the furore a couple months back when I caught them live in their homeland my respect increased for this 3 piece. YES a 3 piece band with a sound that seems more influenced by Hardcore Punk than American Thrash. Lyrically dealing with war and it's aftermath, Sodom are still a formidable and cohesive unit, utilising lot's of speed but with a tight intensity and lack of harmonics that appeals to the harder edge of Thrash.

Nuclear Assault-Brain Death (1986)

Nuclear Assault's sound took it's influences from American hardcore and Punk much more so than classic Metal templates yet they enjoyed the most success when affiliating themselves with the Thrash fraternity. I met John Connelly a couple of times and he came across as a sincere (albeit) small fella but Dan Lilker was a much more distant figure. Such a shame as his Bass sound and political motivations were behind a lot of what Nuclear Assault were about and indeed a side Project 'S.O.D'.

This track was the last on their debut 'Game Over' and contains one of the best ever breakdowns (before they were recognised as an actual musical tool) in the genre. That, along with it's arabient build up equates to one of the finest examples of the genre you will hear.

I just tried googling them with no luck because, guess what, there have been a crapload of banRAB named Maelstrom apparently. The band I'm thinking of was around in the late 80s/early 90s had a sound that was a little bit in the ballpark of Faith No More but still thrashy. I remeraber they also did a country cover of some Metallica song but I can't remeraber which one.

I'm being sarcy. I think it sounRAB like it with a bit flavour from the earlier albums, Metallica should have copied that bit too!

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
