So I saw Hatchet last night (and took some pics)...

I gotta be honest... I'm not completely stoked on this apparent Bay Area type thrash resurgence that seems to be starting to take place. I've seen a lot of bands lately that seem to be paying very direct homage to bands like Metallica, Testament, Slayer, Anthrax, etc. I don't really dislike it or anything, but it seems to be lacking something... most likely originality. All the bands I've seen recently though have been fun and entertaining to watch live, however. Especially Hatchet! Tons of energy and attitude and above all else, they play extremely well. Appreciated, and I will go see them again! However, the white high tops are staying at home haha.

Added bonus: Weird sign at Studio 7

the new thrash thing is cool because i love thrash but yeah a lot of the bands don't have much originality. its better than seeing some shitty metalcore or gothenburg style band on a lot of shows plus the new thrash shows are usually pretty damn fun to go to but on cd a lot of the bands just don't have anything that makes them worth listening to over any of the old 80s bands. i am curious to hear hatchets label album when it comes out though since even their demo stuff was pretty good.

Woo, Hatchet!

And that's a new drummer.

 

[Shpongled]

Woo, Hatchet!

And that's a new drummer.

They said he's been playing with them for 4 days. He was a monster! I was impressed.

 

[Kvlt Wench]

Yeah, he's in another band called Fog of War. Did you get to chill with them at all?

 

[Shpongled]

Nah, they were in the bar but I was with other people and we ended up taking off as soon as they were done.

Interesting. This would perhaps be a prime place to catch a Temnozor show?

 

[azal]

half of the band's budget goes towards ebaying concert t's from the 80s and retro reeboks
