Weird. I thought you had told me that you already had Machine Head and a few of the other DP albums. What you were expecting anyway? But weak? lol Outside of Black Sabbath there were not many bands that were as loud and heavy in the early late 60's and early 70's. It was basically them Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin ... and LZ is the only band out of the three that can be described as weak.
Black/Thrash
Death/Thrash
I consider it black metal.
I don't really get purity in this context. Are black/thrash or death/thrash more pure because they directly came out of thrash, vs power/thrash metal which was already a thing to some extent?
I suppose you could make the argument that the original thrash sound was a hybrid of trad/power
Only black thrash is real.
Easily my favorite form and yes, I consider it black metal.
Thrash outdates power metal bro.![]()
I think what you meant was speed/trad metal.
Also Thrash was heavily influenced by punk. And crossover wasn't even a thing till the mid 80's.
most groovy thrash sucks balls though.
I suppose. I consider some of Iron Maiden's material and Judas Priest's material power metal.
what do you consider the first major Crossover album?
Also, the vocals on the earliest thrash metal releases did not sound anything like what we heard from most trad bands. So i dont know how they "turned away".
