Oh come on, buck up little guy. Real thrash is not dumb. Only poser retro thrash is. The good thing is, is that there is so much obscure awesome old thrash, that we don't even need this new wave of t(h)rash. Why listen to Bonded by Blood when you can listen to Raging Steel, Vendetta, Sabbat, Holy Terror, Midas Touch, Mandator, Poison, Heathen, Abbatoir, Evil Dead, Rigor Mortis, Paradox, Possessed, At War, Vio-lence, Flotsam and Jetstom, Slaughterlord, Lethal, Coroner, Drifter, Sentinel Steel, Razor, Sacrifice, Mordred, Muro, Bulldozer, ADX, etc. etc. I can keep going, but I think I've listed enough bands to overcome the presumption that we need "retro" thrash bands. There's hundreds I havent even listed that are worth mroe of a damn than any of the new bands. One thing though, this rant of mine does not mean that we don't need new metal....we do, but when you have bands coming out that are only trying to sound exactly like the old bands, stealing their idea, their album titles, and everything else, then it kind of becomes a little silly. The same thing happened with Power metal bands when Hammefall came out. Everyone wnated to sound like Helloween or the Pretty Maids and other such bands. What we got was a whole shit load of horribly crappy bands who contributed absolutely nothing to the metal community but saturate it with shit. I see this happening again. just like power metal became fashionable and popular again, so has thrash become the latest metal trend, and it fucking stinks to high hell.
Gee I'm shocked you would say that one
