iTunes just put up a shitload of old school metal like Slaughter, Xentrix, Agent Steel, Laaz Rockit, Sacred Oath, Ripping Corpse, Holy Moses, Running Wild, Necronomicon (the self titled one is excellent German thrash, the other is Canadian tech death), Nasty Savage and the like. Check those bands out (getting their CDs or cassettes on eBay will probably be a lot cheaper though)

Xentrix - For Whose Advantage, Laaz Rockit - Annihilation Principle, Slaughter - Strappado are fucking awesome. btw i've only heard Necronomicon - Escalation and i thought it was pretty good, is the self titled one better? if so i'll check it out.

Well, technically, Escalation is a better album. But the self titled is a lot more balls out, sloppier and has that debut album feeling/energy. Depends on what you are looking for.

But their first two albums did have a kind of unique sound. It wasn't completely standard thrash/speed. There was something else mixed in, I can't describe what exactly. Almost like a Hellhammer influence.

 

[doc_backmask]

hmm you huys got heavier than when i first heard you LP.

Yeah, new line-up. This album was written mostly by myself and Shane. This is more of the direction that the four of us are now going. We should be releasing another album or EP later this year.

Anacrusis!

One of the most overlooked and under-appreciated Thrash bands ever. Suffering Hour, was an especially awesome record. Also, I'm pretty sure the entire records are posted here on their official site (it's ooooooold, but mostly works.) Link.

Yep - I just listened to "Sound the Alarm" on my Ipod and that was one hell of a band. Another group that never got any recognition and just faded away.

 

[doc_backmask]

In case any of you actually checked us out and liked us. We'll be playing in Hollywood, CA with Threat Signal and others in July. There is more info below. Also, there are links to all the bands playing, so at the very least, maybe some more internet fans will be born.

Backmask
Threat Signal
Bloodjinn
Year of Desolation

Liege Lord. Excellent American power/speed metal, kind of in the same vein as Agent Steel. The vocalist on Master Control (Joe Comeau or something like that, I think he's the guy that joined Tad Morose) sounds almost exactly like Bruce Dickinson on the album. Check it out

Wehrwolfe! http://www.myspace.com/wehrwolfe

I blind bought Godless We Stand from a vendor at a recent show, and loved it. There are no frills on this band, just an assault of black/death/thrash. Think Destroyer 666 meets The Chasm.

 

[Metal head87]

I was actually listening to a couple of songs from the earlier on today. They're an excellent band.
You can get their CDs on Amazon for like 2 bucks, or at least it used to be that way

 

[deathstrike from hell]

rush.

 

[Burti]

King Diamond. Pretty much anything. You like guitar solos? You like duels? With guitar solos? Legendary vocalists? Usually amazing drumming? Bass...

 

[Metal head87]

I think everyone here knows The King.


Another band to check out is Anti-Ben. Just look them up on Myspace. The music is shit, but it is hilarious. If tears aren't rolling down your face during Under The Rug Of Rats, you don't have a sense of humor.

actually the only unknown bands in that list would be Moonlyght and Profugus Mortis... people on UM usually know about the others. But good list, you could add to it Beneath the Massacre and Horfixion
