And you wont.

I will when I reach my thrash period of time. But i usually really like technical thrash like Sadus, Coroner, Mekong Delta, Voivod, Forbidden etc etc. So if you guys can direct me to some bands that play something similar to those bands I'll appreciate it. I need to listened to Evile though, it's been there waiting for too long.

I never thought of VoiVod as a thrash act... IMO, they were much too weird and unique to be part of any metal subgenre.

Yeah i see what you mean i still think theyre majorly thrash, but thats why i love bands like Voivod and Mekong Delta they pushed the boudaries and they came out with something unique yet still thrash.

They're kinda thrashy up to Dimension Hatross...
And I'm not going to count any album after The Outer Limits, that's when classic era Voivod died.

3 bands for you: Vendetta, Toxik and Realm.

Vendetta listen to Brain Damage.

Toxik go with World Circus.

Realm start with Endless War.

Realm are not thrash... It's straight up speed metal!

DevotedWalnut · **Posted:** Sat Jun 07, 2008 10:33 am

Whatever they are, they are awesome. And you were right, the cover of Eleanor Rigby is greaet.

Stefan · **Posted:** Sat Jun 07, 2008 10:48 am

Yes, indeed... Great cover! I'm glad you liked it too. :dio:

DevotedWalnut · **Posted:** Sat Jun 07, 2008 10:53 am

How could I not like it? The entire album kicks serious ass.

Stefan · **Posted:** Sat Jun 07, 2008 11:01 am

Indeed... Have you heard "Suiciety" too ? Not as good but still enjoyable...

DevotedWalnut · **Posted:** Sat Jun 07, 2008 11:03 am

I have not heard it, but it is on my next order from amazon. From what I have read, I will still like it.

Uhhh, no post Master of Puppets bands then?

I'll take cerebral fix, xentrix, intruder, heathen, cyclone temple, et al over any of these bands

Mintrude · **Posted:** Sat Jun 07, 2008 5:50 pm

Voted Evile, 'cause Enter The Grave is rocking my socks to the moment. And they have a song about Rambo!

showmaster · **Posted:** Mon Jun 09, 2008 8:46 pm

WooooW, so many awesome bands and I just cannot decide which one to pick... sry guys, but its too hard for me

(add Sodom, Kreator and Slayer to that list and you will get list of fav bands)

BTW can I please just say that Blood Tsunami, whilst nowhere near as bad as many claim, is not thrash. It just isn't. It's like South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss crossed with Carcass. And it isn't thrash. It's thrashy heavy metal with harsh vocals, and I say that loosely because it's quite hard to classify. Nothing genre destroying like, just hard to classify.

Thrashtildeth · **Posted:** Tue Jun 10, 2008 1:06 am

There's so much discussion of every metal forum about whether or not this or that is metal or, if we're all sure it's metal we discuss whether or not its thrash or speed metal or whatever.

I dunno.

Blood Tsunami sounds like thrash to me. As far as I can tell it's just the vocals which are different, and surely, thats not reason enough to reclassify the band into a whole new genre?

DevotedWalnut · **Posted:** Tue Jun 10, 2008 6:23 am

As helpful as this is, I cant stand Blood Tsunami at all.

Hehe, well it doesn't sound like thrash to me. It's definantly thrashy like, just not full on thrash. In my ears.
