But seriously what is it about DA and Sabbat that say that any 'true' thraher must love them?
I cant comprehend why you like them.
Dark Angel are
extremely catchy and very tuneful. Listen to the chorus from Promise of Agony. Dark Angel had riffs coming out of their ears, each more brilliant than the last and they had a certain look to them that I think people always like. Put it another way, Dark Angel have personality which is something that a lot of Thrash bands lack. For example, three out of five of them were fat cunts and they had a vocalist who is, indirectly, one of the most immitated (via Exhorder, Pantera and today's SHITE) in Metal history.
And it's not like Time Does Not Heal is
that unique; Victim's of Deception is very progressive as is a lot of Coroner and Anacrusis stuff. I know Hyder loves Heathen and Anacrusis so I'm thinking he's picking up on the 'brutality' aspect of DFA's music rather than the progressiveness of TDNH. But then, Hyder likes Arch Enemy who are, in certain respects, more brutal than Dark Angel...
