in australia it was about 1993-4 which was a shame as there was some bloody good metal coming out

 

[spacebeer]

I remember HOBBS ANGEL OF DEATH from Australia, they made a killer album in 1988!!!

I play it regularly, they were referred to as the Autralian Slayer!

It's not exactly metal but while I was in Sydney in 98 IO saw ROSE TATTO and the ANGELS perform at Selina's Coogee Beach! aThat was awesome!

 

[spitzs lazy eye]

hobbs angel of death....fuck yeah. "i am not a virgin i am not a slut" classic aussie metal. like rodney rude, that unique aussie style. i saw someone wearing that shirt at the anthrax sydney gig just gone. was that you?

Early 90's About the time Grunge took over.

 

[Ragman_kd]

Metal never died, it just took a rest from the pit cause it was getting old. No....wait.....thats me!

 

[Miltbrand]

At the time when Metal died elsewhere it boomed in Scandinavia (Norse BM, Swedish Death, and Finnish 'strange stuff') so it wasn´t too bad for us, over here....

 

[Metal Thrashing Mark]

Metal never really died (it never has & it never will!!!),imo,it became more "cool" to listen to grunge.
I like the metal scene right now not too popular,not too underground. But thats imo.

1993: the year that officially nothing happened in the world.

Metal never died... certain genres of it did but I mean, Fear Factory and Dream Theatre got bigger during the mid-90s.

 

[PyroVesten]

I say, if you think metal ever died you haven't been looking hard enough for quality releases. I could probably rattle off 12 great albums from every year since I was born..but that would involve a lot of typing.

Edit: Maybe I'll do a few years...

There's no great thrash albums in there. I never did like ITP by Death either.

Yup.

Never, I don't think metal ever died it just got less noticed by the mainstream. And in my opinion that was and is for the better. All we need is for that genre to get corrupted in general. We need the outside recognition.---sarcastistic comment.

 

[Skorned1]

Metal never died, try fiber!

Hey Anthrax Mosher why the Name change???????

But, in an attempt to gain or re-gain media attention, A LOT of bands compromise their sound. If media attention was already in place then band wouldn't need to compromise their sound the downside of this is that as soon as band gets media attention every label wants a duplicate band so that they can compete!

BASTARDS!

 

[Dredd74]

The year they started putting the word NU in front of it. None of that crap is even close to being metal.
