The new Kreator album has just leaked. Listening to it, don't know what to say about it yet. I'm listening at the fourth song, Amok Run atm. Will review it later.
Guys, I listen to brutal-thrash.
If somebody would like to give me an example of "brutal thrash" I'll happily tell you that it's actually just thrash, deathrash, or blackthrash. If you want, I won't call you an idiot while I do it.
I'll respond to this one since you tacitly admitted that the other two are in fact not brutal thrash.Slayer's Reign in Blood is one of the best examples of brutal thrash. Although I don't really like it.
Metalkicksass is being stupid about this, don't listen to him. Doesn't sound remotely like Trivium. The album is pure speed-oriented old-school thrash with some sweet raw guitar melodies. Sounds like Coma of Souls with a little melody.

Actually, this is just thrash. There's nothing "brutal" about it. The guitars aren't heavily downtuned, the drum is just typical thrash drumming, etc. It's really dark and violent, but it's not "brutal."
Brutality in metal is generally created through a mix of speed, abrupt tempo changes, intense low end, dissonance, and abrasiveness. Thrash metal riffs already routinely utilize the lowest possible notes (in standard tuning) and play at incredible speed. Drumming already involves incredibly fast snare beats (this being the best way to produce abrasive sounds). To make it "more brutal" you'd have to downtune the guitars, start trem-picking instead of palm muting (producing a more dissonant sound) and use blastbeats. Vocals would have to be growls or screams instead of shouts.
Wait a tick, that'd be death metal, wouldn't it?
That's what i'm asking you.To The After Born, he only screams it about a dozen times.
Tbh I don't listen to enough trivium to make the connection, but my main problem with them is their vocalist, who sucks so fucking much it's unbelievable. Obviously Mille Petrozza is a pretty badass thrash vocalist, even after about 25 years.
I find it really funny that people are complaining about Gothenburg influences on an In Flames forum. Anyone else spotting a hint of irony there?
And NO YOU OBSTINANT DUMB FUCK. It's not like a single element of death metal makes you death metal.
My question is, you clearly enjoy the gothenburg scene so why the fuck do you have an issue with Gothenburg influences?
