Fission is currently recording

[tit]

k so i went a little apeshit. i am entitled am i not? after all like you said it's what the forum is for. if your opinions can stand so can mine.

Mr V, I understand what you're saying but I don't agree, but I guess you aren't going to change your mind just because I say so. Too bad.

right off the bat you start with telling someone else how to go about doing something. whether you like it or not you started to listen to vintersorg like the rest of us because he presented something in his style. now you want him to try something that everyone has done.

Anyway, the drummer I'm talking about is Chrille, the praktikant (whatever it may be called) at Ballerina. He's not there now, but his mom is from Thailand and it shows, remember him?

Anyways, I don't think synths are the way to go if one wants to have a 'special identity'... It's not been done in thrash as far as I know, true, but what's wrong with good ol' german thrash or bay area thrash?

right. synth hasn't been used in thrash and it be interesting to see just how viable it might be in this genre. what's wrong with good ol german thrash? well let me see it's not the 1980's. change is constant and it's a good welcome. and he's not german so let the man explore. what's wrong is good ol' german thrash or bay area thrash has been done so i think it's rather ambitious that he uses the core of the music but not the entire formula.

I don't doubt that Fission will be good, possibly even great, but I'd probably like it better (or at least have a more positive attitude towards the band) if I knew no drum triggers were used and that synthesizers were as far away as Usama bin Ladin if from Washington DC.

so if there's a good chance of it being good even great and you possibly will like it what's wrong with that? and positive attitude? you mean you are going to have a bad attitude if someone messes around with some drum triggers and synths?

Too bad nearly every band uses triggers these days, are people afraid of an organic sound? I don't like that klick sound.

well isn't this wonderful? you hate klick sound. i happen to think it brings more dynamic to the music. it backs up the riffs and sets a foundation and backbone to the song itself. so what if everyone is using it? everyone else copied german thrash and that didn't bother you? so why does this? and if you want him to play like german thrash wouldn't that be just like everyone using klick sounds? cuz everyone is using them?

Will your vocals be you usual good stuff or more harsh (not growls, thrash style harsh) ones?

And, by the way, restart Cosmic Death. I have a tape and it's fucking great. UNFORTUNATELY, though, stupid as fuck as I am, I accidentally hit the rec-button while listening to Immortal and that tape was in my tape deck, so I have 1-2 seconds of Immortal at twice the volume of the tape to piss me off every time I listen to it.

and while you are at it mr v see if you can find every available demo and failed bands that you have done in the past

Lastly, PLEASE have some grim fucking cover art and no photoshop crap, just draw one with demons eating people or something like that. I like my thrash the old fashion way, though I gladly listen to Witchery, At the Gates (SotS), the Haunted etc. also.

maybe you should join fission and then it will be done to your satisfaction. i just didn't find your argument very insightful if nothing else you merely wanted fission to follow all the classic formulas with no experimentation. this being said. if music and metal particularly never progressed past the german thrash of the 80's then we wouldn't have death metal, black metal, melodic death and particularly something mr v has been doing. even if i can see some of your points, which i don't, what's the point of rehashing the past? advancement is good as long as the fans of this type of music appreciates it.

oh as for me going to fuck myself. that's the right attitude. that i agree with you completely \m/

First of all, I think it was nice of you to respond in a slightly more intelligent manner.
second, I'm too lazy to paste and comment every part of that, so I'll answer what I remember:

I know the 80s have ended, and that's damn sad. As far as thrash metal is concerned, it could well have stayed there.

I think I first started listening to Vintersorg because he's a fellow Norrlänning and had lyrics and music touching subjects I can relate to, but I guess this has nothing to do with the current topic.

I don't like the klick sound, no, unless it sounds REALLY organic (I haven't experienced that yet as far as I know).

If everyone who wanted to play thrash metal stayed with the good ol' german formula and thus kept the high standars of 80's Destruction, Kreator and Sodom, I'd be glad.

Black Metal came with Venom in the beginning of the 80's, so it would have existed anyways.

Cosmic Death is a great band (Better than most Vintersorg works IMO, at least the cassette I've got is fucking great) and I would not in any way consider that a failure.

I don't think mr. V would want me in any of his bands since I'm not progressive enough, and if I did join Fission I guess I'd have little say. I'm happier to have my own thrash band that does it the way I like it. This does not in any way stop me from wanting other people to make it the way I like it also.
