Southern California Thrash
September 16, 2009 1:57:01 AM UTC Post #1

If you haven't noticed, Southern California along with a few other places (Brazil, Mexico, etc) are booming with surprisingly great thrash metal. Fortunately they're shooting for an old school, but mix in just enough modern influence.
Here are some of my favorite bands from the scene.
Witchaven
http://www.myspace.com/witchaven
Songs : Black Thrash Assault and Skinned Alive
These guys just released their 2nd demo about a week ago, it's very promising.
Merciless Death
http://www.myspace.com/mercilessdeath
Songs : Ready To Kill and Exumer. The video of them covering Slaughter is also awesome.
Warbringer
http://www.myspace.com/warbringer
Songs : Total War and Beneath The Waves
Fueled By Fire
http://www.myspace.com/fueledbyfire
Songs: Thrash is Back and Put To Death
Get listening!

Evile has, in my opinion, the most distinctive sound of the "new" thrash bands. Although their vocals sound like Araya as well.
Obviously every thrash band, that doesn't have country vocals, sounds like Slayer. Fucking hell.

What the fuck? Araya sounds like Araya and John sounds like John, I don't understand all these gay ass comparaisons. They sound NOTHING a like, John's vocals are harsh, he's actually screaming, Tom Araya is a shouter.

A couple of my mates do stereotypical Slayer songs. It's hilarious.

Personally, Slayer has only 2 songs that do anything for me. I can't listen that drum beat for long enough to finish an album.

Don't forget the Undetected Sarcasm Warriors.
