Damn my thoughts exactly. Those were the age ranges I immediately thought of.

I'd say anyone under 30 is "young".

 

Underground blackened thrash from Sweden. Enjoy!

I too loved Iced Earth, the guitarist had a mean right hand. Now I would never dream of posting/buying merch/seeing live. Fucking terrorists.

 

One of the first and best crossover albums! Super iconic riff on this song. See this video for an amazing live performance of this song and March of the S.O.D. and one of the craziest stage dives ever!

EDIT: I can see from the downvotes that some people are misunderstanding the post/aren't part of the thrash community. The album is satirical, the songs written from the perspective of the character and bigoted militant "Sargent D". It is meant to be over the top to show how ridiculous those types of people are. S.O.D. is a joke side project created in a bit of spare time in the studio that took off as one of the first crossover albums, and the earliest representations of blast-beats. It was a side project of Scott Ian from Anthrax who is definitely not racist and has made many songs against racism in his time in Anthrax and he writes the lyrics for Anthrax. Ok, rant out of the way, I can see why it generates bad reactions, which is sorta the point of it I guess.

I guess that makes you the racist.

[–] serpineslair@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Oh for sure! That is my existing opinion. I wonder if it will change.

 

Bet you weren't expecting this post from me! Now I've finished Tankard, my quest through the big 4s have taken me back to Megadeth. I've decided to give them another chance, wish me luck! I must admit I'm really enjoying the riffs, shame about the terrible vocals.

Post 2 of 2 from this album. Decided to post two given the short length :D.

Possibly one of my favourite MW albums alongside... well... all of their other albums? I fucking love all of their material. I suppose if you put a gun to my head and forced me to say which albums I liked the least it would have to be Electrified Brain or Massive Aggressive. This has to be one of the most energetic 15 mins in all of thrash. Makes me wanna break shit like nothing else I heard.

I really resonate with the lyrics to this song, except the "loving life" part ;). Goofy vocal performance, though I think it might be purposeful to fit with the topic of the song. I consider it thrash but I think it has lots of heavy metal/hard rock influences.

No need to apologise, I'm sure most people on this platform (myself included) feel the same way :). Good song choice as well.

I call A-shit.

[–] serpineslair@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I must've listened the hell out of this a year or two ago. One of my all time favourite Warbringer tracks.

[–] serpineslair@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

No problem m8! Happy to help. Sometimes other people's takes are much more useful than the algorithm's xD. I definitely value friends' recommendations more!

 

After many, many hours I've finally made it through Tankard's huge discography. It is clear Tankard had found a formula that works extremely well, and has stuck with that ever since. There is little variation between albums and with the sheer number of songs, you are bound to have songs beginning to sound the same, especially if their trademark style is applied to all of their material. In my opinion, Tankard have now just about exhausted their style, I'm not sure how many more variations can be created that still sound fresh.

That being said, you have to applaud their consistent output, having not a single bad release, despite having 18 albums to their name (19 including their compilation re-record). Tankard's commitment to releasing nothing but straight up fun, enjoyable, light-hearted thrash is downright impressive. People have a tendency to complain about little variation in a band's discography, which I understand, but if you are that desperate for change, simply listen to different bands once in a while - there are plenty of them.

Overall, I love Tankard's flavour of thrash, and their unfaltering energy. Though admittedly in their last couple albums I did feel myself listening mostly out of motivation to finish the entire discography. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. To others I would recommend listening to their first few albums at a minimum, which were the standouts for me. From there, listen to more, whenever you crave their style.

I leave you with my favourite track from their latest album.

More Venom, this time fronted by Demolition Man (now the frontman for Venom Inc.).

Love the vocals on Skeletonwitch, new material aside (Chance, the vocalist left). I think he can do good death and black metal vocals and switch interchangeably really well. This song and entire album is a beautiful blend of extreme metal genres.

Superb death thrash. Not to be confused with Schizophrenia, the blackened thrash band from Colombia. These guys are death thrash from Belgium.

Absolute classic by my favourite band! It's been a while! Although, strangely similar to Total Death by Kreator.
