I am in totaly agreement here. Cant take this pop syth screaming vocal bullshit anymore. Its really wearing on me. We need some good old school metal out there. Need a new Lamb Of God album or, anothre kick ass Testament / Bay Area thrash band to come in and show these kids how its done.
So tired of this BS.
Not talking specifically about IWABO here, but you'd honestly rather hear that same shit over and over again?
Bay Area thrash was already once well once, it's time to move on and do something else.
None of what the old school thrash bands are doing anything remotely as good as what they were doing in the 80s (and even up to early 90s for some bands).
I could honestly only listen to the newish Testament, Megadeth etc stuff about 10 times before it just got kinda boring.
Just makes sense to get out those classic records and spin them.
Listening to Sylosis' "Conclusion of an Age" side by side with "Death Magnetic" and Metallica just sound like a big joke in comparison.
You've got one band who is taking that old school sound and pushing it forward, with today's level of musicianship and mixing it up with a few different genres, and then you've got a bunch of guys who aren't hungry anymore, don't play their instruments any better than what they did 22 years ago (if anything, Kirk and Lars just got even worse).
As for Megadeth, let's just say "Endgame" was no "Rust In Peace".
I'm all for something that isn't Attack Attack, Bring Me the Horizon or that easy-core shit that recently got posted (Chunk!, No Captain Chunk!), but old bands releasing those same old tired records again and again isn't helping the situation in the slightest.
If anything, it's just making people more bored of it, and as such they are probably going off to listen to their scene-core because at least it's something newer that keeps up with today.
