a couple of those might not actually be cali or south american thrash, but they might as well be!

i love the Merciless Death album. those dudes are on fire. their influences:

The following bands in no particular order : Slayer - Exodus - Anthrax - Testament - Death Angel - Dark Angel - Possessed - Vio-Lence - Exumer - Voivod - Kreator - Destruction - Sodom - Venom - Sepultura - Nasty Savage - Nuclear Assault - Overkill - Metal Church - Sabbat (UK)- Sabbat (Jap)- Mortal Sin - Exciter - Annihilator - Agent Steel - D.R.I. - Celtic Frost - Iron Angel - Assassin - Sacrifice - Slaughter (Canada) - Acid Reign - Korzus - Coroner - Darkness - Paradox - Blessed Death - Deathrow - Artillery - Razor - Heathen - Forbidden - Death (Scream Bloody Gore and Leprosy) - Necronomicon - Sarcofago - M.O.D. - Exorcist - Devastation - Whiplash - Vendetta - Blood Feast - Morbid Saint - Powerlord - Vulcano - Accuser - Apocalypse - Coven - Onlaught - Atomkraft - Sentinel Beast - Hell Bastard - Gothic Slam - Evil Dead - Flotsam and Jetsam - Hirax - Viking - Laaz Rockit - Abbatoir - Num Skull - Deathwish - Mutilator - Destructor - Torture - Violent Force - Kublai Khan - Slaughter Lord - Rigor Mortis - S.O.D. - Sadus - Virus (UK Thrash) - Sacred Reich - Anacrusis - Mercenary (Bay Area) - Acrophet - Dream Death - Poison (Germany) - Warrant (Germany) - Mercyful Fate - Morbid Angel - Deicide WE ARE VINYL/CD/CASSETTE/VHS COLLECTORS OF ALL THE BANDS WE HAVE LISTED!

Hrmm, so uhh, is it just me or is that Ganzmord song basically polka with some chaotic grindy bits between verses? I guess it doesn't swing enough for that to be quite true, but this song is way too happy to be evil. I did like the Bad Brains section. Could do without the Death-style bridge.

I think there's something in me that in effect strips off all the noise and screaming and takes the melody/beat to the fore. This kind of sucks, because it makes a lot of these evil bands sound surprisingly happy. Often rockabilly-like (Heretic come to mind)
Maybe I've simply lost my black metal listening-skills. [insert bit about "faggots don't like $band it hurts their pussys"]
I just don't feel the grim any more!
I did consider going to see Nunslaughter live, but suspect I'd be sick of it in 10 minutes, just like I was with the (admittedly funny) live record I used to have.

So, fuck it all. Thrash is where it's at. I'm gonna go put on some Terror Squad! Discö bloody discö!

ganzmord makes me happy! there is some GREAT noise on the album. i still like the stuff from the split though too. the stuff from the demo on the album is the most over-the-top skreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee noise. in a year, he'll probably be scoring operas and forming bm supergroups.

also digging archival french speed from 84:

DOLLAR GORE RULES.

How about free gore? My husband did security at one of the Metal Fests in Milwaukee (Hawkwind, do you live there?) eons ago and came home with a stack of free CDs. One title I'll never forget was Inbreeding The Anthropophagi (had to look up "anthropophagi") by Deeds of Flesh who might be too girlie for this thread. Also remember a song called "Chunks in the Shower" which AMG tells me is by Deeds of Flesh as well. But other "chunks" titles came up and I came across this album by one Broken Hope:

http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:dcfwxq9hld6e

Titles seem promising beyond "She Came Out In Chunks": "Coprophagia" (know that word!), "Hobo Stew," "Decimated Genitalia," and, my favorite, "Felching Vampires." No nun rape, though, unless "Preacher of Sodomy" preaches thusly. And you gotta love that parental advisory sticker.

Aside: you should check out nunsploitation cinema if you haven't already. Start with Alucarda and then move your way down. I can't get enough of the stuff.

Hey my buddy's in a pretty good Mexican thrash band:

http://www.myspace.com/muertevilla

ahh, scott - i'm so glad you dig morsure, i mentioned them on rolling metal and no one seemed to give a shit. that album's fucking great. i said it somewhere else and i'll say it here: the metal urbain of thrash.

going to have to check out the latino thrash links later, but i remember in the late 80s when the mexican dudes started getting into the scene in a big way, some killer bands and many of them didn't get past the demo stage. sadistic intent and nausea/terrorizer did, though.

I was listening to Karma Bloody Karma by Cattle Decapitation yesterday - does that count or are they too pussy for this thread, I mean they are vegans and everything?

The Morsure is rad! I only just got it, which is why i couldn't comment before.

a lot of the non-Cali thrash bands are from Brazil. Like Slaver:

http://a450.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00731/94/45/731945449_l.jpg

i dig cattle decapitation. i don't care if they are vegan. it's not like i can tell they are vegan from the music. and even if they sucked, they would always be classic just for this:

dammit man i was about to go get lunch 3xpost

herman neuname wrote on the other metal thread:

"I bought the Whitehorse 2xCD from 20 Buck Spin."

i like it. i'd never heard whitehorse before. they do the ugly epic doom thing very well. i might like that monarch! double cd on crucial blast more though. maybe.

you know what i REALLY like is the stormcrow/sanctum split that 20 buck spin sent me. but i'm a sucker for a d beat. stormcrow and sanctum call their music WAR CRUST. which is a great tag. i wonder what last fm would come up with if i typed that in.

also got the new one from Forgotten Woods. from Norway. first album in over 10 years! they must have gotten lost in those woods. or they forgot to make a record. in the woods. i'm sad that oystein doesn't feel the grim anymore :( that means that geir is the lone grim Norwegian on ilm. and that is really sad!

Putrid Pile you guys

seriously

at MDF dude was unfuckinghinged and made noises without any vocal effects that were, 'ow you say, SIIIIIIIIIIIICK

Putrid Pile have a new album coing out on the ever-loveable Goregiastic Records:

http://www.goregiasticrecords.com/

that new Forgotten Woods album is pretty fucked. Kinda mellow for this thread though. They must smoke a lot of pot. What kind of pot do you get in Norway?

oh man Foetopsy's on Goregiastic - they were one of my favorites at MDF, their album isn't breakin' a lot of ground but it sure is breakin' a lot of grind har har har! fuckin' love those guys

got Moribund mail yesterday too. new Drawn And Quartered album sounds nice. MERCILESS HAMMER OF LUCIFER! also new Hacavitz which i'm looking forward to and new Godless Rising featuring dudes from Vital Remains.

have you heard the new Drawn And Quartered, John? i would think you would like it.

got the latest issue of SOD in the mail the other day too. kinda disappointed that Lordi were on the cover. And also kinda disappointed that the cd was just a southern lord sampler. they usually have great death label comps. oh well. still a great issue overall of one of my fave mags.

haven't heard it, no - feel like I saw it though! will poke around

the thing about Foetopsy that makes them great though is that they don't take themselves seriously AT ALL - dude was wearing a belt made up of tampons onstage

dud of the week: seizure crypt album. dudes trying to revive old skool (but not that old) NYHC but it's really anemic. don fury production and all that, but so flat. half sung/half rapped (kinda) shit. i'd rather listen to judge. or madball. or sick of it all. definitely did NOT provide the "unbridled crossover ferocity" that it advertised. where's my token entry reunion! (there probably was one. what the hell do i know? i think everyone has reunited four times by now.)

NYHC is so often anaemic and weak if it's not done right. I can see why a lot of HC fans just write off the whole genre. I mean I do most of the time! I like old Agnostic Front though. Their 3rd album sucked so much shit I never bothered with anything after.

I will be downloading Foetopsy :)

finally getting around to the Vital Remains's Icons of Evil...fuck do I ever love this band

not as great as "Dechristianize" yet but we'll see

fucking GUITAR SOLOS up in this bitch, proper stuff

i love the first two agnostic front albums too. cause for alarm is so awesome. wish i still had a copy. it's been so long since i heard the third album. i don't think i hated it. it was metallic, i remember that.

It was metallic but in a really feeble and powerless way. Like a lot of crossover. Even good crossover stuff like DRI and COC has songs that just fall flat and 3rd AF is a whole album of that.

I'm not a big crossover fan though, in general.

I tend to like "proper" hardcore punk, or thrash metal, much more than most attempts to combine the two.

I like Cryptic Slaughter a lot. And Dead Horse.

this hacavitz is the shit. drummer is just going nuts. i love that they recorded it as a duo. very very cool album so far.

honestly, this is probably my favorite crossover album of all time and i know people who HATE it with a passion:

http://xclaim.com/images/hwr.gif

i mean, i can't even tell you how many times i've played that album. 500 times? i do love dri, but my love for their early days knows no bounds.

i guess i wasn't really that much of a skate punk fan in the 80's. speaking of which, Mcrad have a new album out.

i took to thrash like a fish to water though.

I've never heard that SSD album. I'm not a huge fan of theirs though, compared to other Boston bands like DYS, Jerry's Kids, Negative FX, Freeze etc.

Hacavitz album is definitely my pick of the week. great black/death action. great riffs. insane drummer. gnarly solos. punk energy and feel. total sweetness. oh, and completely fugly.

"i guess i wasn't really that much of a skate punk fan in the 80's."

although i loved jfa with a passion. there are always exceptions.

You've motivated me to look for How We Rock now. Partly because it's so hated by hardcore punkers!

xpost I'm not a big skate punk fan at all but I do dig JFA and Ill Repute (amongst others)

this might be the first punk record i bought where i thought to myself at the time, hey, this sounds like metal!

http://homepages.nyu.edu/~alr237/kraut_whettingthescythe.jpg

not all of it, but the songs ngri and flossing with an e string especially.

hey, col. poo, have you heard daymares or sss? i have to review their new albums. on the punk tip and all.

http://www.myspace.com/yourdaymares

http://www.myspace.com/shortsharpshock

oh wait i lied i'm not reviewing the sss. though i like the sss album. i am reviewing the new toxic bonkers album though.

http://www.myspace.com/toxicbonkers

Fueled by Fire are boring as shit live. Saw them open for, I think, Municipal Waste, who admittedly will make any band seem boring, but they were still pretty damn boring. Did I mention that they're boring?

SSS, on the other hand, are totally awesome.

Fueled by Fire just signed to Metal Blade, so I don't know what that says about metal blade in 2007.

Although I did like the Middian album, which is doom but doesn't smell good at all.

More dollar death:

Also on Grind Core, cover art also by Cradle of Filth dude. Apparently Tipper Gore didn't like these guys in the 80s, but this one is from 1992, with the main guy and some scabs. Crap production (obviously), but it's actually pretty tuneful. The local used record store has tons of Grind Core releases in the dollar bin.

Sedimentum

this person has great playlists. demos, obscurities. some real dirty gems in there.

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKGPQujnvIsyh7SgmNuaisZXpXmHc9f4P

for instance, this one. love this! chicago-area band. never did anything else i don't think. but i'm sure these guys went on to other bands.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKcs3vb_UO4

really enjoying this. black/death stuff. they have a new EP. gonna play that next.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxUDYMGQyH8

this also speaks to me. guess i'm just in a blackdeath mood. i blame the world.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=la1I0pBhq7Y

love this! (hard to find a copy of the reissue in the u.s. but i will prevail.)

https://larvaerec.bandcamp.com/album/gangrena-infected-ideologies

:)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzQteBZY-eM

this makes my top ten of the year. if i had one. love the atmosphere. and its from the states too! which surprises me for some reason. maybe because i love it. but there are people hidden away doing good things here. hiding. hiding makes sense.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4x70_zYNuk

(to be fair to americans who don't hide i really did like that Horrendous album a lot and they are very popular in that world of theirs...)

There's a new Petrification album coming out in February. They're from Portland, Oregon, but they're on Svart, a label from Finland. Anyway, here's "Twisted Visions of Creation":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzg7l7iN_dc

amazing artwork too!

https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0333397984_10.jpg

oh man that petrification video speaks to me. also, luring sounds great.

this is kind of 'random old metal' but i think fits this thread. i got curious about seeing what kevin drumm interviews were floating around out there, and in one of them he mentions this band from edmonton, revenge.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WKDTU8_790

love Cerebral Rot

i never get tired of this record. someone should reissue it. unheralded sludge classic! i might have heralded it in Decibel Mag at the time. definitely one of my fave rock records of the 21st century.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVitmgve--s

got a copy in at the store that still has the wooden match in it. keeping it.
