Old thrash bands with more "mature" late-career albums

[Lifewithoutpain]

Sacrifice - Apocalypse Inside
2nd on Coroner's Grin

Celtic Frost - Cold Lake

Killing Season is so much better than The Art of Dying. (Death Angel)

Shit, I didn't even realise they had a new album out. That shit's getting heard for sure.

Thanks for all the recs guys - I'm making my list.

Celtic Frost - Cold Lake

I wouldn't call that a more mature Frost album. Again, that's a case of going mainstream without getting any more sophisticated musically.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

And ironically not even going mainstream!

Why do you go through the trouble of putting a lightbulb above your every post? Seems pointless.

It's called a habit. I've been doing it since I was younger, and I still do it now even though I don't consider it to be particularly worthwhile or interesting. I don't even think about it anymore, so trying to not do it would take more effort than just doing it. People care about it too much.

 

[waif]

Kreator and Sodom, definitely. I really love the last couple from each of these.
And I haven't heard too much, but the last few from Exodus perhaps meet your request.

That's funny. and true.

I suppose Megadeth is obvious. The stuff on So Far, So Good... gets pretty experimental at times.

You could also make a case for Obliveon's later albums, in particular Cybervoid.

 

[The Ozzman]

That's not really later material. 'Risk' would have been a better choice

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Except Risk is pretty boring overall. But in theory it does fit my request.

I'm pretty sure SFSGSW isn't what I had in mind.

 

[The Ozzman]

Except Risk is pretty boring overall. But on paper it does fit my request.

I don't think SFSGSW is what I had in mind.

I don't think Risk is as boring as, say, The World Needs A Hero. There are some solid tracks on TWNAH, but overall it fails to deliver

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Maybe, I haven't heard that one. I'm still pretty weak on my 'Deth knowledge.

Btw, why you gotta go and quote me while I'm in the middle of my 60 edits before the 2-minute mark?

 

[waif]

There is in fact not a single redeeming quality to TWNAH. It's a mix of really shitty generic stuff and Dave unsuccessfully trying to rip himself off.

 

[The Ozzman]

Dave unsuccessfully trying to rip himself off.

*starts argument again*

You must be switching TWNAH with United Abominations

 

[Satanstoenail]

Everyone shut up and go and buy Coroner - Grin.

 

[waif]

@Ozz:The key word there was "unsuccessfully"
@Satanstoenail: I have the self-titled and I'm not impressed really...

 

[HamburgerBoy]

@Satanstoenail: I have the self-titled and I'm not impressed really...

Their S/T is half-compilation and half-assorted-post-break-up-stuff, so its not a great album to judge them by.

 

[waif]

Yeah, I didn't judge them buy it...but it hasn't increased my enthusiasm. What's their best overall?

I actually think its very good. Its my "I feel bad for myself" album in fact. Alot of relationship related lyrics. I like the riffing as well. A dark horse in the Megadeth discography that takes a little more time to grow than their other stuff.

 

[waif]

Alright, I'll listen to it a second time just for you.
