Controversial opinions on metal

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I'm with Baroque here. While nothing compares to the 80's, 92 was still good in my book. 94-95 is when everything really went to shit.

 

[Baroque]

The only one out of that list that I own is A Vision of Misery and it's a pretty average affair. Maybe the rest are all amazing. I'd moved on to death metal by 92.

Then what made you feel qualified to comment on the state of 1992 thrash so surely? Your loss. This was some of the most brutal thrash that would definitely appeal to a death metal fan. Solstice, Demolition Hammer, Cerebral Fix, Aspid, Entropy.

Just realized there are exactly 20 albums in that list. Time to rank them.

Aspid - Extravasation
Depressive Age - First Depression
Chemical Breath - Fatal Exposure
Despair - Beyond All Reason
Mekong Delta - Kaleidoscope
Demolition Hammer - Epidemic of Violence
Sadus - A Vision of Misery
Antidote - The Truth
Deathrow - Life Beyond
Typhoon - Take Good Care (thought this one was 1994 but whatevs)
Sodom - Tapping the Vein
Defiance - Beyond Recognition
Stygian - Planetary Destruction (really dislike this one and both below)
Entropy - Ashen Existence
Vulture - Easier to Lie

Top 6 are all worthy albums notable to some degree. Gets inconsistent after those.

Need to relisten:
Cerebral Fix - Death Erotica (Tower of Spite was an early favorite of mine, don't remember liking the other ones though)
Risk - The Reborn (pretty sure I've heard it once, maybe I haven't)

Haven't heard:
Fallen Angel - Faith Fails (never even heard of, in fact)
Tourniquet - Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance

It's only 2:05 am and all this Thrash talk makes me wanna head off to bed already.

Terrorizer's Hordes of Zombies isn't that great comparing to their glorious debut but I think it just got too much shit. The drums alone are top-notch and everything else is either above average or average.

Nice list. Did you forget Solstice? Surprised to see Antidote that low, but whatever. I'd go with:

Antidote - The Truth
Aspid - Extravasation
Typhoon - Take Good Care
Solstice - Solstice
Despair - Beyond All Reason
Mekong Delta - Kaleidoscope
Chemical Breath - Fatal Exposure
Vulture - Easier to Lie
Stygian - Planetary Destruction
Demolition Hammer - Epidemic of Violence
Defiance - Beyond Recognition
Sadus - A Vision of Misery
Entropy - Ashen Existence
Tourniquet - Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance
Cerebral Fix - Death Erotica
Deathrow - Life Beyond
Sodom - Tapping the Vein
Fallen Angel - Faith Fails
Depressive Age - First Depression
Risk - The Reborn

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I dont have any of those

 

[HamburgerBoy]

The Antidote album is OK, but I dunno, I start to zone out by the time its over, and to me it doesn't do anything that Stone didn't do a little earlier and a lot better.

And First Depression is awesome, no one played thrash like they did on their first two albums.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

Death metal > thrash metal. Everything Terrorizer has done since the debut has been laughably bad.

 

[Krow]

Its really not bad per se... Vanilla would be a better word.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Death metal > thrash metal.

I agree with this, as a whole
I do like some thrash, but death metal is a love for me. God damn it's awesome

 

[The Ozzman]

Yeah. Death metal all the way.

[HamburgerBoy]

Thrash has superior riffs and that's all that matters.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Face it bro, most OSDM don't got shit on thrash when it comes to the riffing. You guys might have neater cover art and cooler band names and heightened kvlt-factor, but that's tertiary at best.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

I prefer death metal in EVERY way, that includes riffage.

 

[Baroque]

The Antidote album is OK, but I dunno, I start to zone out by the time its over, and to me it doesn't do anything that Stone didn't do a little earlier and a lot better.

Can't stand the singer from Stone (but they do have quality guitar work), Antidote has more energy and wider vocal range. I'll have to give First Depression another listen. At least we agree Extravasation is amazing.

 

[Nephilim96]

Yeah, I gotta agree with Prophet.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Thrash metal > death metal.

fixed that for you bruh.

Thrash has superior riffs

Without a doubt.

Most of you children were raised on modern death metal, so i'm not surprised with the responses here.

 

[Mort Divine]

Doesn't matter anyways because doom has the best
