Well, I definitely perk up when I hear a band is THRASH AS FUCK as opposed to an 'incredibly atmospheric masterpiece of NSBM artistry from the wintry wastes of blah blah blah'.
Yeah, I listen to Machine Head, but you know what?
Do Megadeth, Kreator, Sepultura, Sodom, Destruction, Overkill, Anthrax, Heathen, Metallica, Slayer, Possessed, Dream Theater, Fates Warning, Helstar, Elvenking, Helloween, Exodus, Primal Fear, Jag Panzer, Forbidden, Flotsam and Jetsam, Watchtower, Death, Nuclear Assault, Death Angel, Dark Angel, Torture Squad, Nailbomb, Blind Guardian, and the almighty Fear Factory say anything for me?
