Uncommon bands you know

[Rabid Headbanger]

But that wouldn't feel comfy!

But it will teach you the importance of leather. And spikes. And how awesome denim really is.

 

[AchrisK]

Well thrash sucks so..

no. Thrash rules the wasteland! You suck.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

No one ever mentions:

Either.

 

[AchrisK]

No one ever mentions Witchburner either.

On that note, I'm going to use this thread to again advertise for Merciless Death, as they are awesome.

Do it then!

Actually Avenger of Blood just finished up recording their latest thrash platter. They are on the same label (Heavy Artillery). Not sure when it comes out. I need to get that Merciless Death CD.

Merciless Death is boring. Check out Witchtrap.

And my friend's band, Eliminator: www.myspace.com/eliminatorus. They're recording a four song EP (maybe with an additional cover or two) next month I believe. The artwork will be done by Ed Repka.

Devastation from Chicago > Devastation from Texas. Sindrome from Chicago is better too.

 

[Hell Mike]

I have to second Devastation, it's damned close to early death metal but still remains within the boundaries of thrash, and half/half on Witchburner, the two albums I have (the first two) are pretty generic and bland, like the riffs other bands would have used but they didn't quite make the cut but still passable... But what I've heard from their later material (one song only, German Thrashing War) makes up for that, killer song.

well people here tend to have good taste, so it figures.

 

[Life Sucks]

Asyphyx rules. They are the definition of truly heavy death metal, not brutal death metal. One thing I don't understand, however, is that everyone disagrees with me when I say they are very thrashy, and I am told that they are doomy instead. I think the guitar technique on their early work is as thrashy as fuck (lots of very thrashy palm muted rhythmic picking patters, not much tremolo picking, etc.). In fact, I think a lot of old school slower paced death metal sounds thrasy to my ears.
