Place to post and discuss THRASH METAL!

RULES (MUST READ):

Please keep things relevant to thrash (death thrash, blackened thrash, crossover, speed metal etc. are permitted). While we understand it is subjective, if a moderator believes a song to stray too far from thrash, it will likely be locked. Please do not take this personally. Repeat offenders may see posts removed.
Please search before posting a song, do not repeat posts.
Friendly debate is encouraged.
When posting a song use the format of "Band - Song [FFO: band1, band2]". This just helps keep things uniform. The "FFO" (For Fans Of) section is optional. It is for lesser known bands. (Stole this idea from the Death Metal community).
No racist, sexist, blah blah blah... you get the idea. This is not the place to discuss sensitive matters.
No NSFW content (apart from songs/album covers. If they do include NSFW content, please mark the posts as such).
Post in English only (obviously you can post songs in different languages).
But most of all have fun XD.

One of the lesser known later bands of the second wave of thrash, coming out of BC, Canada. Originally formed in 2003 as Skull Hammer, changed name in 2016. Sounding a lot like their contemporaries, like Havok in the relentless riffage and Warbringer with the blast beats. This one needs to be cranked more loudly to fully appreciate what they have to offer.

Edit: Upon blasting this out my speakers I have to say this is one hell of a great pure modern thrash album! Standouts are the first two tracks, and Sect of the Serpent!

Is this album at all related to the Lovecraft story? 🤔

[–] Myr@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Terrifier's Weapons of Thrash Destruction doesn't feel like it has any Lovecraft story stuff i'm aware of specifically. But a couple of weeks ago, I posted a band called AntiPeeWee that, despite the name, has heavy lyrical themes about Lovecraft's mythos.

While I can't say I'm the a huge fan of the vocals, the drumming here is so consistently excellent that I find myself wondering "is this secretly a death metal band?". I've often questioned, "why does no one seem to talk about Terrifier?", best guess, a combo of getting less exposure from being stuck in a smaller scene, and not being particularly productive in a fairly saturated field.

I practically said the same thing about Warbringer after their first couple of albums, but the consistency they show, in addition to (imo) actually improving on thrash metal as a whole, they do get better with each album. And while Terrifier already have a couple other albums out, they might improve, but it could go either way. The drumming is definitely excellent for both as well! But Kevill seems to be a bit more charismatic on vocals - just stronger in general. When WB's last album came out they had a a track that was practically full death metal, so that's my reason for the heavy comparison. And truly, I had never heard of Terrifier before today, only after I had to actually go out of my way to google for the keywords "lesser known thrash bands."

Yeah, the Warbinger comparisons are pretty spot on, not that I would say they're particularly derivative, it's just clear they're reaching for a lot of the same ideas. I still have high hopes for Terrifier, they DO have what it takes, they just need to get that killer album with a few solid fresh ideas, and I feel that people will end up noticing. It's not as if they do not deserve to be popular already, it's just hard to catch people's attention when you have so much competition, a lot of it is just luck.
