You a thrash expert, Mike? At least you seem to know a bunch of obscure thrash groups I've never heard of.  The only thrash band that I've gotten to know properly is Pantera. They rock. Darrell Dimebag was a fine, fine guitarist. Vulgar Display of Power

Re Annihilator, they're alright but the vocals (and lyrics ) tend to spoil it a bit. The first two records still get in my CD player from time to time though.

Slayer is thrash metal. I wouldn't consider them death metal.  IMO, Paul Bostaph (the 2nd drummer of Slayer) was better than Dave Lombardo. Although Dave was good Paul seems more technical.

Recently I've been into Fear Factory. I may be wrong, and probably am, but I think it's progressive like. Anyone have anything to say on that?

Alice in Hell and Never, Neverland are awesome - great mix of Power and Thrash.


Sorry. Don't know them.

Yeah, I know Fantômas, and Dave Lombardo is a great drummer. But still, I don't find anything interesting in Slayer's music. Fantômas on the other hand have some fantastic moments, and "Delirium Cordia" is a masterpiece!

I agree with you - Slayer never held much interest for me either.

What do you think about

Annihilator?

^ I think they're best described as a Proto-Death band with Thrash influences.

I think the problem is Slayer were doing semi-death metal before death metal bands were, so it's tempting to reclassify them based on what happened afterwards.

Slayer are difficult to describe - I'd call it Thrash Metal, but their music also has many attibutes of Death Metal. It's Thrash with more brutal vocals and at a faster pace.

What are your favorite Prog Metal bands?

Opeth is the only extreme metal band i can stand. Blackwater park is the heaviest thing i can take.

Oh yes, Anal c**t are hilarious. I dont take it as music, but funnier then some comedies

I have this too, and it's very good! Do you know, is this one-man project? Are the drums programmed?

Just a few essentials:

Summoning - Dol Guldur, Nightshade Forests. Epic Fantasy Metal with heavy keyboards in looping, classicaly inspired phrases, often running textural changes.

Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tarr Oss. The best from the second wave.

Therion - Beyond Sanctorum
Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus - Two of the greatest albums of the European Melodic Death tradition circa early 90's, when Death and Melodic were not mutually exclusive.

The above would be an excellent overview of Extreme Metal, with only ***** albums. Don't waste your time with Opeth.

Also; if you are interested in the roots of extreme metal, I strongly suggest you to check Venom's "Black Metal". It's from 1982, and you can tell. But still, considering their satanic lyrics combined with the soaring guitars and the fuzzy sound, these guys were surely seen as very extreme in the 80's.

Edit. They're Britons by the way, not Norwegians, although Norway is the home of black metal these days.

Great album! Can't listen to it too often though it seems. Feel slightly in the mood for it now though.

Opeth and My Dying Bride are great bands. Primarily however i enjoy "classic" metal, e.g., Judas Priest, Iron Maiden e.t.c., and more recently getting into Mercyful Fate and King Diamond.
