Well Lars is now a good drummer. If you listen to the S&M album.... man thats tight. Thats got to be the band on high form because its tight playing with a full orchestra.

S&M was weird because Kirk seemed to nail solos for once. They must just have practised a bit more than usual.

Aye. Twas a good performance.

I suspect that could be due to the way they record - cutting loads of takes together.
The problem is not so much how well he plays the parts but rather the parts he writes. Grooving riffs with flat drums.

*shudders violently*

Agreed.Industrial music is for butch,yet violently gay germans.

Unless the band name is Nailbomb... then its good.

To be fair 100 times better than Thrash is still, like, 10, 000 times worse than Level 42 so you're not really making much of a statement there.

I did quite like Devin Townsend (I always preferred Gregor) and Strapping Young Lad for a while, but then I realised that it was socially unacceptable to listen to them in public and so have started listening to Franz Ferdinand and music that is better and more manly than that.

Thrash in the 90s? Time does not fucking heal.

Good - Tortured Existence!!!

FUCK OFF! Stomp 442 is one of the best driving albums ever! I can put that on in the car on a sunny day and then drive like a fucking maniac! (when I had a car )

I do agree about Roots though. I fucking hate that album.


And as someone else mentioned, The Haunted's first album somewhere in the 90's was pretty cool, as was Cyclone Temples, 'I Hate Therefore I am'.

Another thrash album I really rate from the 90's is Aura Noir's "Black Thrash Attack", 1997. It's basically two dudes from Mayhem and Cadaver mucking about. The production is iffy, the playing is sloppy, but it has so much energy and obvious enjoyment -- not to mention a wealth of pretty classic riffs -- that I can't help but smile when I hear it.
