I can't imagine growling or screaming in Italian..I have a bunch of italian friends and I always laugh when they talk cuz it sounds so funny! It would most likely be more enjoyable hearing Chinese pop than Italian screaming

 

[unknown]

listen to Void of Silence

 

[Carcassian]

yeah you people have been talking for 20 posts now and noone has mentioned DEATH SS

Or Paul Chain (solo).

Necrodeath. Their latest was Thrash to the max (with added cowbell goodness).

 

[byrne]

if bruce dickinson wants more cowbell, then i say we give it more cowbell!

 

[KMADD]

Cripple Bastards - Italian grindcore.

I can' believe that nobody has mentioned Ephel Duath! Get some clean jazz guitars, add some crazy experimental drumming (especially the cymbal work), some slap bass, screm vox, clean vox, and even...yes...dare I say....saxophone...and you got yourself the highly experimental, controversial, but most of all amazingness that is Ephel Duath!

 

[Ender Rises]

^Sounds cool

All three of their cds are very awesome. The Painter's Palette also has trumpet usage every now and then, and Pain Necessary to Know has all sorts of odd stuff in there (like a music box lol).

 

[MarkOfTheTriangle]

Yes, "The Painter's Palette" is one of my favorite albums to pop in when I'm not sure what I want to listen to...haha it encompases most of them...

And Zhou, maybe I was mistaken and it does feature trumpet instead of saxophone...My apologies
