THE SHRED THREAD

It would probably be unhealthy to keep something like that in.

Well it has been a few years now, but eventually everything has to burst.

I’m digging these @ home collaborations!

Yeah some of them are really good. I've given up watching a few of them because they got boring but there is plenty out there.

 

[Neptune]

Yeah some are hit or miss just like some actual releases lol!

 

[Slammed]

Yeah I've gotta say I'm a bit under-whelmed with Havok's album. It's okay, it's got some good thrash on it but for me it doesn't hold up for the entire album. Vader is a better and stronger album but still not great.

I feel the exact same way man all this hype for not a complete let down but the progression of these newer releases just don’t hook me all that much!

Yeah me too! Right now would be a great time for Testament to break out some of their acoustic stuff again!

I was surprised at the score Blabber gave Vader's new one. A whole point above Testaments.I mean it is Blabber so whoever does their reviews holds no weight with me anyway. Testament review was pretty one dimensional.

Do you want some jazz with that?

I didn't check the reviewers but Vader is usually categorised as death metal and most of the time they have different reviewers for different genres. Death metal bands really do seem to get better reviews on Blabber than thrash. They don't hold much weight with me either. In terms of reviews even though they aren't great Metal Injection are definitely more thorough with their reviews.
I do prefer Vader to Havok but it was far from their best stuff.
