[Zephyrus]

He was great in the 80's, but now sounds like the guy who did the voice of the parrot in Aladin.

Comparison time.


Tbh he sounds fine. Not as intense or high, but still aggressive and pissed off, and somewhat more tuneful.

 

[Zephyrus]

His vocals after Terrible Certainty start going downhill.

 

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

They do, but they're still fine, and Kreator are still very relevant and good.

 

[divine_torture]

I don't know how anyone could stand the lead singer of Kreator's voice. Fucking nails on the chalkboard for me.

I'm gonna have to agree. I really don't like Kreator tbh...or Death Angel.


I've been on a huge King Diamond/Mercyful Fate kick lately. 'Melissa', 'Don't Break The Oath', 'Fatal Portrait', 'Them', 'Abigail', and 'The Eye' all rule so fucking much.

No, I do not think later Kreator are good at all.

 

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

That's fine, but I feel that they are still worthy tbh.

 

[Zephyrus]

He's pretty much right, I'm afraid.

 

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

I bow down to your superior opinion, of course

edit: they've fallen much less far than most "old thrash" has though, if you can admit that.

The few songs I've heard from the newest Kreator album are definitely their best material since Coma of Souls, I have to give them that.

 

[waif]

Kreator's 90s albums Renewal, Outcast, and to a lesser degree Endorama absolutely sucked, certainly worse than Metallica and Megadeth's 90s output. However, they were not tinged with the sense of sell-outness that tainted many a 90s thrash album. Hordes of Chaos definitely lives up to their older stuff in that it's intense and thrashing, but they don't try to pretend that the intervening 20 years or so never happened.

 

[Dak]

Really haven't been impressed with Hordes of Chaos, the lyrical construction is face-palmingly bad imo.

 

[mutantllama]

I'm listening to bits and pieces of Summoning's stronghold, and I like them.
*edit* I'm also listening to a bit of Legion of the Damned's new album, and it sounds pretty awesome to.


My switching between bands is weird.

 

[waif]

I declare Cowboys From Hell to be fucking awesome.
Also, Amoral - Decrowning is really mediocre "thrash" - avoid.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

i declare it fucking overrated

 

[mutantllama]

I declare Cowboys From Hell to be fucking awesome.

Because it is

 

[Episteme]

Listening to alot of The Chasm lately, I love their flawless song structures and epic melodies and riffs.

 

[UltraMetalFan]

Aren't the Beatles great?

 

[waif]

i declare it fucking overrated

Considering Pantera are one of the most hated bands on this forum I find that unlikely.

Reinventing the Steel > Cowboys from Hell.
