Vio-lence and Dark Angel both have some killer stuff. Heathen are one of the better bands doing thrash right now.

I also like a few sort of thrash/other genre bands, like Imagika's power/thrash or Destroyer 666 (look past the name) black/thrash.

Why is that band name inappropriate? It's a black/thrash band with lyrics about apocalyptic war, so it certainly fits their music. Sure, it doesn't exactly sound high-brow but in my opinion metal bands shouldn't try to cultivate an intellectual image because that often results in them losing their subversive edge in the process.

Most bands with 666 in the name suck. It's appropriate, just saying that they're a good band considering that.

I see. Remember that Sturgeon's law is universal, though... most bands suck no matter what they're called. Wink

That's a somewhwat ironic statement I tend to think. Thrash metal for me, was a genre that indeed pushed metal musicianship to a higher level than previously seen in any metal genre before (at the time), and indeed even as it has tried to maintain a rough and ready image, for me part of the attraction of thrash was it's greater complexity and technicality than AOR (for eg) and indeed some of the more intellectual themes present in thrash.

^ Agreed. Thrash is a style which pretty much forces you to be able to play both fast and accurate.

I don't see anything accidentally humorous about what I said... part of the beauty of metal is how it shows that complex, subversive music doesn't have to present itself in a remotely academic way in order to say something relevant. In plain English, it exposes the establishment's ideas about high and low culture (and many other thingsEvil%20Smile) as the nonsensical bullsh*t they are.

One of the best bands to come out of Australia, in my opinion. Both Unchain the Wolves and Phoenix Rising are essential albums for fans of the harsher side of thrash; I think the German thrashers would enjoy these. Caught them live a couple of times before they relocated to Holland.

Only discovered them after they moved... so I never got to saw them... makes me sad.
