New Thrash Bands.

i liked Dekapitator but haven't been impressed by any other new thrash bands

I'm just excited to see new life being shocked into a genre where I am forced to replay countless 80s tracks. Don't get me wrong, Slayer will never leave my boombox. But it's great to see new alleys being explored. I was going to get a Death Metal band together but after seeing the capability of the modern thrash and the stress free musicianship I can see myself getting into this.

I have to agree on Warbringers vocals. It kind of does belong in a more metalcore band.

??? Where do you guys are overall seeing Metalcore... as if it's a evil ghost that's destroying all "good" in the metal world. :wink:

The vocals are actually reminding me more of Death Metal like Obituary and Benediction and old Exodus stuff with Ballof.

I wasn't too impressed by Merciless Death.

I do enjoy Toxic Hololaust quite a lot. Havent checked those other ones out. Nocturnal (from germany) is also pretty sweet.

1, Metalcore is detrimental to the genre as a whole as it draws ignorant fans in their early teens. Also, I can't stand most of it as most of us would agree. There are many mistakes being made in this genre.

2, If you haven't heard it yet, make a serious effort to get a copy of Enter the Grave by Evile. It's awesome...

SSS are pretty good, whoever mentioned them.

I tend to listen to as little of the new wave of thrash as I can, so the few good bands really make an impression and I'm not just listening to a tidal wave of shit, as metalcore turned into. I do advise you all to check Hexen out, as thrashtildeath mentioned, they take a much more genuine old-school route. Plus, Holy Terror likes them.

I don't know, but at least - attitude, image, outfits, looks aside - it's IMO the least sucking new metal genre after 1990. Grunge, Alternative, NuMetal, Crossover, Emo etc. are IMO all worse.

And if you are looking like Tokyo Hotel and playing like Slayer... just look at Sonic Syndicate... if you hear them, you'd never think, that they look as they do.

But anyway I am wondering why it took ca. 20 years that bands like Warbringer or Evile are coming too the scene, while in the 90s we've had to bear wimped out watered down classic thrash bands and alternativ BS?

Sonic Syndicate are a dreadful band, though. Bog-standard metalcore BUT LOOK AT THE FEMALE BASSPLAYER! You can't tell me bands from the Alt and Grunge world like Tool, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains etc kill most identicore bands today in terms of great music made.

Hmm, of the new thrash bands around today that I have heard I would say Municipal Waste and Send More Paramedics are the good ones, and Toxic Holocaust and Merciless Death are the ones I wasn't too impressed by. Can't think of that many more new thrash bands I listen to... I nearly bought an Evile album the other week but I got Coroner RIP instead... I like old thrash more epsecially if it is techy.

I don't know. Great music is very much just personal taste. I think grunge/nu metal is just boring. For "mainstream" people are Slayer or most of the new thrash bands hear mostly just loud noise. They would listen more to mainstream addicted nu rock and nu metal. And that is what I don't like about the alternativ wave. It is just toooooo much mainstream radio friendly pop-rock. And that is what I like on Metalcore. They are bringing death and thrash sound into the mainstream.

But back to the new wave of thrash metal. I think I need more room for the cd's... :rolleyes:

Are you lumping nu metal and grunge together? Industrial metal is new and has some great bands.

For me, Grunge, Alternative, Nu Metal, Nu Rock sucks altogether. At the beginning of the 90s I hated Grunge, because it stood against all what was the classic Hard Rock or Metal genre. Today I'm not hating it, but I still didn't like it. And Nu Metal was worse because it abuses metal riffs with electronic shit or High School pop melodies crap...

Maybe Metalcore Bands have the same target audience, BUT it has, as I've said, more in common with classic Death and Thrash. And mostly it abandons keyboards and electronic crap and rap vocals. The whole Hip Hop / Rap influence is what really sucks in Nu Metal.

But I think we've had this discussion here already in another thread.

First impressions:
Warbringer - War Without End: Sounds like Bullet for my Valentine.
HAHA, just kidding. This is the shit. Thrash Metal has to be one thing: fast. And this IS fast. Fast, brutal and heavy as hell.

Evile - Enter the Grave: Sounds like Trivium. HAHA, not really, but the singing is a little bit like on the Crusade. Really old school. Not so much pushing like the warbringer, but still very good (it's like comparing Slayers Reign in Blood with Kreators Pleasure to Kill).

And I think both are even a little bit better than the last Slayer, Sodom, Exodus and Destruction. Not much boring midtempo. They both go forward with power and velocity.

The Battalion - Stronghold of men

Yay! This is effin awesome!

Nobody has mentioned Bonded By Blood.

Hell fucking yeah. But really only Beyond the Permafrost because their previous album was pretty lame from what I heard.

I mentioned them. In the same breath as fueled by fire, who I think are just as awesome.

I've been trying, I promise! Can't find it so far, and I don't wanna download it if its really that good.
