[Hell Awaits Us All]

the last good thrash album I heard was "sodom" by sodom

not quite "dead yet" but I don't think it will ever return to its glory days

Yes, that is easily one of my top 5 releases of the year. Sodom have been quite consistent throughout their career, and never went to shit, like so many other veteran thrash bands have.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

still play many CDs by 80's thrash bands (anthrax, slayer, 'talica) though

what more can new thrash bands do with thrash though that hasn't been done countless times before by better bands??

 

[Impudent]

If you look at things like that, you would only listen to a very select few bands.

NO thrash metal is not dead, and i think it will never be because the band like metallica-pantera-slayer never die.

 

[Ender Rises]

Metallica is dead, Pantera is dead, Slayer is still around, but regardless, the music will never get old.

 

[cookiecutter]

Pantera is literally dead.

 

[Dominus-sathanas]

yeah metallica and pantera are dead but there musique still alive that's what i mean

 

[NapalmGrind]

Alot of people are still getting into Thrash.

The last thrash album from Testament is souls of black, the ones after are just pretty much heavy southern style groove metal. Regardless Testament is pretty overrated. the first two are good

nothing classic about them imo

 

[darkkiuban]

:What genre is the gathering album?

 

[byrne]

well he's right. its a thrash band, more or less playing very south american heavy metal. although if you forced a gun to my head, id still call it thrash. the gathering, low and demonic are all similar in sound. the ritual is the one true exception out of their catalogue.

 

[Andreas Franchesko]

Yes. Metallica and Pantera ARE dead. Also Sodom's Sodom was pretty fucking boring aswell. The last thing keeping me not to say that trash is dead is Testament's Live in london DVD which is great. Shame that their last releases were bad (or not so trashy)...

 

[Fury of the Storm]

Its not dead yet.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

is pantera really thrash or are they groove???

regardless I enjoy their music mainly because of the brilliance of one dimebag darrell

 

[cookiecutter]

I think Dimebag Darrell would not be as popular if he hadn't been shot. Now everyone just says "RIP Dime you were so great"

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

very true

I have all of their CDs though... dime was a great guitarist... just listen to "planet caravan"

not the most technical of players (though he was certainly never lacking in that ability) but so much beauty and passion in his work
