American or European?

[testacat]

American thrash bands or European thrash bands
which continent do you prefer and why?

I've thought about that but never had a decision..

 

[overkiller]

i'd choose the american ones in thrash.

but the europeans rule in death.

 

[Lord Severance]

For Thrash, American of course:

Nuclear Assault,Testament,Vio-Lence,Exodus,Megadeth,Metallica,Metal Church,Overkill.....I could go on and on....

 

[Testament Legions]

Nothing can touch AMERICAN THRASH

 

[Testament Legions]

Sacred Reich, Death Angel...

 

[Brand]

American fucking thrash all the way...
Death Angel, Vio-lence, Heathen, Forbidden...

 

[Voice of God]

American for Thrash, European for most other genres.

 

[HUNGER OF THE UNDEAD]

I like em both, The US had some killer thrash bands, but the European's have bands like SODOM, KREATOR and DESTRUCTION who are still playing thrash. All the American bands listed here and otherwise have either broken up and / or sold out aside from TESTAMENT.

 

[Deadly Embrace]

AMERICAN METAL!!

I do agree..
firstly, I choose american bands but then
begin to think about kreator, destruction, sodom
and if we describe as thrash, venom..

but
sure,
TESTAMENT RUUULLZZ!!

CALIFORNIA Thrash:

Vio-Lence
Exodus
Sadus
Forbidden
Dark Angel
Death Angel
Imagika
Megadeth - Killing and Peace (after that it's not quite thrash)

And Testament, of course!

 

[testacat]

well, let's enlarge this topic

americans or europeans?
for thrash, death, power...all the styles

overkiller, u said "europeans rule in death"
so, what about florida?

and another topic,
(overkiller, I'm sure u've heard..)
in Turkey, we metal fans always discuss about England and germany.
some people say "most of the big bands are from England. so, england rules.."
and some say "germany is harder, faster and wilder. so, germany rules.."
what's ur opinion?

( RIO!! I've never saw a crowd in a metal concert as it's...)

 

[ThePKH]

American thrash of is better course. Though I quite much like some of the German thrash bands and new Swedish thrash metal like The Haunted or Darkane.

 

[overkiller]

florida was death's homeland, but europeans brought melody to the music, so death metal gained a new dimension by the hands of them.

england or germany?...hmm, sweden? well, you said ''big bands are from england'', being a big band requires a certain quality and style, doesn't it? but germany has big bands with their own style, too.

it is always harder to compare countries than comparing bands. if you asked ''kreator or venom?'', my answer would be certain, but this is hard. btw. i really like the german style.

1- it's funny to talk to u in english

2-"europeans brought melody to the music.." I agree..

3-england vs. germany is an old discussion..we're talkin about this issue for years. result? of course nothing
and I know this question is too hard
running wild, kreator, destruction, scorpions...from germany
ozzy, maiden, saxon, manowar....from england
yeah, it's too hard to choose

 

[overkiller]

we have to speak english, this is an open subject and everyone would want to join it.
damn i'm gonna forget my language if this continues

 

[AngelWitch73]

I have no preference because I love both immensely ! They each have their own special style which is cool because you get twice the amount of Thrash !

 

[overkiller]

yeah

 

[sava]

Of course there are some great bands from Germany. As good as I remember Vendetta and Poltergeist were from Germany. They really kick ass.
But American thrash rules.

 

[xenophobe]

Europe did not bring Meoldy into THRASH...

California Thrash had plenty of Melody...
Europeans brought it to Death Metal, I'll give them that...

Florida rules for Death Metal, but Europe has provided some good stuff too.

California Death Metal is on the rise though...
