Metal Reviews

Ask any respectable poster on this site, they'd all agree that they would do dirty nasty things to/with Brahm. I am sure you are just jealous that he does not have any interest in a Bitch! like yourself.

Pretty much all of those bands except Corrupt and Ramming Speed are quite well known, so hell knows where you've been.

Anyways, I'm not big into the "new wave" of thrash but to me the only ones worth my time on that list are Violator. Never understood the Municipal Waste and Toxic Holocaust hype let alone the Blood Tsunami hype. The first two are really nothing special (not that Violator are, they just tend to be better at turning the grit on than TH and MW), and Blood Tsunami are just painfully boring and shouldn't even be called thrash as far as I'm concerned. Warbringer are a good live band, though, I'll give them that, not to mention they manage to write a few headbangable songs. Honestly, I think there are much grittier new black/thrash bands out there that do it better and that aren't a part of this Lich King/Fueled By Fire/Toxic Holocaust/Municipal Waste/Evile/Warbringer etc. coalition of "new wave thrash" who seem to think buying reebok high tops makes them good thrash. As per usual those "on top" popularity-wise aren't necessarily deserving.

Municipal Waste are absolutely brilliant. End.

Lich King is horrible.

If you like Crossover Thrash, I don't.

Surely though you can appreciate why I think so, though?

Yes, I can.
But I was just stating that you had to enjoy that particular kind of thrash to enjoy MW.

I like Municipal Waste, but to say they are the be all end all of new thrash, then boy oh boy you've got another thing comin.

And I think I'm in love with the IronDuchess.

Riddle me this batman, why would one listen to MW when one can listen to S.O.D.? How on earth are they "brilliant" when all they seem to do is try to be the new S.O.D. or Suicidal Tendencies? This isn't to say that new bands can't play in the old style, its just some bands aren't able to see the difference between "playing the same style" and "attempting to be"... *ducks the flying shit*



^This. Why do I suck at not being longwinded...



...

What? They're differant to both those bands. They have really melodic bits that neither SOD nor ST had, the lyrics aren't as emo as ST or as offensive as SOD and their live performances are better than ST, maybe not SOD but whatever.

I don't understand how your point addressed the issue whatsoever, thats like me saying "why listen to SOD or ST when I can listen to Metallica?" the bands do not have enough in common (save for genre) for you to say MW are ripping them off. Bullshit.

The forum is certainly more interesting when she's around.

So a luke warm "neither here nor there", watered down version ...and meh on the live shows. Not that impressive though. I've never personally seen SOD (the only one of the three I'm actually a fan of actually) or ST live beyond videos, but I have seen MW and wasn't overly impressed.



Its been a while since I've listened to any MW material (not an attempt to duck out, but just an explanation of why I'm not being more song specific) but from what I recall I frequently heard quite a few "familiar" riffs. Throwing in melodic portions does not mean that they don't sound like they're trying way too hard to "be" their heroes, nor that they aren't blatantly taking a little too much influence in their songwriting, hell from what I recall the band members themselves practically admit to being S.O.D. and ST worship.

Will try to do my MW homework to better demonstrate my point since, as I said, I've heard them live plus their debut a few years back and never felt much inclined to revisit them.

To be fair the whole break in Beer Pressure is a direct take off from Revelations, but who doesn't rip off Maiden? And I haven't seen SOD live, I have seen the other two though. From videos I've seen SOD looked awesome.

She's Canadian too, and not an attention whore.

Well, that makes one of you.

Yeah, I like her.
It's good to see a female that actually talks about Metal and knows what she is talking about 'round here.

shut it Bitch!

You must reconsider:

I've know D.R.I. since their 1985's album, Dealing With It!
Whan I tell you I don't like crossover thrash it's because I've tried it.
