Metal Reviews

well I see two very different scenarios taking place
one:
While your drunken Thrashie was staggering around brandishing his lead pipe, the Black Metal Barbarian whispers the appropriate commands to the night sky, thereby summoning legions of demons to do his bidding; and, lo... a crack would appear in the blackened sky, vomiting forth a ravenous swarm of pain, wrath and torment, black-winged and razor-clawed,
hungry for warm blood and living flesh, to descend upon his enemy, who before his besotted mind can register what is happening to him, is reduced to a pile of stripped-clean-white bones, and perhaps a few shreds of shit-stained underwear, his soul possessed and tormented in darkness and pain for all eternity in the bargain. The demonic swarm, thus sated, (for now!) would hence be sent back to the abyss from whence it came.
two:
Or the Black metal barbarian would simply laugh in disgust at the sodden folly of bringing a lead pipe to a sword fight , chop off his head, arms and legs, and burn the corpse in offering to the ineffably puissant Lord of Shadows and Magick.

look at that Fenriz compilation, with Destruction, Sodom etc. there, you can't deny the importance of thrash in black metal, and death metal too for that matter.

of course black metal grew to become more than thht, with the atmosphere, ideals, etc., but you know what i mean.

but i don't think it's worth arguing which of the genres, quaility-wise, is the best one, as we all have different notions of quaility and look for different things in music. the poll up there ^^ is because of the high representation of black metallers here (not that i have a problem with it, mind you).

oh and in terms of sheer brutality.. death metal apart... you can't compete with Dark Angel, old Sepultura, Sodom, Kreator,
Destruction... to me anyways.

but it's metal, and it all kicks ass in the end.

just a question on Emperor - i always thought they were black metal. what do you (black metallers) have to say on this?

Marduk's first three albums are 100% Black Metal (or shall I say 100% Northern Music? ) and until LGDM Marduk managed to maintain approx 70-90% of it's BM essence.

On BM vs TM question:
Yes, I prefer Black over Thrash, but it's indeed like two different things (Ok, they come from the same tree, but they became different/evolved). The apple-and-orange example explains it perfectly: someone likes apples, someone - oranges, but you never expect from an orange the taste of an apple, do you?



Until Anthems everything was pure Black (or again, I think the term Northen Music suits it better). Anthems (or even Reverence) was were Emperor lost their goal, concept and a part of their BM substance . And they only moved away from BM from album to album. Everything post-Eclipse is good, but not as good as Eclipse, were you have the feeling that Lucifer himself twirled the handles in the studio.

Well Valefor......while the BM guy is summoning his cloud of darkness.....the thrasher has just chugged a pint of Pale Ale and finished listening to some Dark Angel.....so he is suffering from the Hunger of the Undead.....thus he will destroy and devour any and all legions of of uncouth race that besot him. Dinful shall be their coming, traquil shall be their demise!!!

HA! but then he would die in wracked, writhing agony from the evil indigestion which would consume him alive, from the inside out.
V.

Sure he would... but, only after beating the BMer to death. So, technically, Thrash wins, right?

Oh, and about the sword fight... I don't think the managers at Office Max and McDonald's would appreciate their employees bringing swords to work.

Wrong.
Headless, armless and legless? Your thrashie has already been done in, by this time, you are taking too many liberties
reread the post where the tharsher meets his hapless demise.
Sword > lead pipe.. its simple arithmetic.

I mean there have to be some guidelines to this very amusing game; if you are cut into pieces, you cannot beat anyone to death... :roll:

Holy_Terror can you tell me some good unknown thrash bands?

- Vio-Lence
- Forbidden

not only Holy terror knows Thrash... :twisted:

Yeah, but the BMers low paying job wouldn't let him bring the sword in the first place. Hey man, they gotta keep their feet on the ground somehow!!!

Unarmed<Pipe.

I say your backs against the wall... let's see if you can prove me wrong.

Is a mighty theologist going to allow himself to be chained by the rules? :twisted:

Hmmm... are we fighting at the workplace? If so, how does an unemployed Thrasher fit in, certainly not shopping, because you need MONEY, hence a job, for that.
But, anyways, I was pretty sure that the BM barbarian had his trusty sword when he reduced the Thrasher to a headless torso, before burning his drunken body parts.
Low paying job > no job...
V.

Exactly, the thrasher has nothing better to do than loiter...

Thanks a lot mighty emokid i downloaded Eternal Nightmare from Vio-Lence and its pretty fucking good!! Thanks a lot man

slayer(or any other decent thrash band for that matter) would just be too fast for any damned bm band to get a punch in-*insert bm band here* would try to summon some demon and slayer would call up satan and whoop his ass! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

You don't even listen to any BM so why are you talking about it..

HAHA! I am glad you are not taking this so seriously!
Honestly, I like some Thrash, but Black Metal will always dominate in my view... meh, to each their own.
BTW, get a job!
V.

you're welcome....

Slayer is about as evil as a bowl of Cheerios...
