That's a little true there. I mean I liked Revival. But a lot of it I felt was political pandering. Which he struck some points here and there in untouchable, but it was so blunt and bias I couldn't even.... Joyner Lucas did a better job tackling what Eminem did on that song. Same thing with...

probably not as much as eminem. After hearing revival. I'd say eminem is definitely overrated. Still one of my favorite rappers. But he can be overrated

My favorite rappers at the moment are Kendrick Lamar and definitely J. Cole. J. Cole's repping my home state well. And Kendrick, that dude is rapping about some real life stuff and has that flow that's perfect. I feel he could be the spokesperson of my generation from a hip hop perspective...

I think Blast beats are more in death and black metal than thrash. I've heard thrash use blast beats. But for the most part thrash is using that punk rock D-beat. Bass drum kick then snare. Sounds like a "Po-Ka-Po-Ka-Po-Ka-Po-Ka" sound to me.

So what does that make Dexter Ward and Iron Curtain? Their riffs sound very similar to thrash riffs but they're categorized under traditional.

No seriously. Musically speaking.

Truthfully I've wondered sometimes. What sets thrash apart from more traditional heavy metal? Is it the riffs? The tempo? Guitar and bass tones? Chords and patterns? Palm muting usage? I've heard a good degree of palm muting get used in the more traditional stuff. Sometimes I honestly don't...

I liked the first album. Do you think any of it can compete with HeXen?

Also. In my book, there aren't too many bands in modern thrash who're doing anything different than what's been done 30 years ago. I mean sure there's HeXen (Rip), Vektor, and maybe Warbringer. A lot of these modern thrash bands from my time listening to them have a habit of sounding too much...

May have been the same with me. I find myself liking cleaner vocals a lot more now.

Yeah I know that now. But I listen to some stuff to see where I wanna go musically and it puts me in a conundrum.

I know. But I meant in a sense of asking for advice.

What about me? A lot of this stuff puts me in a conundrum over what I want to do style wise.

I know. It's difficult for me to choose taste though. I find inspiration from both. But I find both have their drawbacks, plus their pros. I don't want to play 1000 miles an hour all the time, or be lyrical constrained to the whole death and war stuff of extreme metal. But at the same time, when...

Okay I first go into a lot of metal about 3 years ago in 2014. But I did something that's a little wrong in the eyes of myself. That I finally figured out basically yesterday. My buddy at the local guitar repair center said my issue is that when I first started listening to metal, I probably...
