They actually had Flemming Rasmussen who produced Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and ...And Justice for All.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

God that is one killer track, these guys don't get enough cred. I got back into them in 2009 when this album came out.



I'll give Evile another whirl. If they are the band I'm thinking off, I think they may have had a song I liked when they were signed to Earache records. Anyone know of some standout killer Warbringer songs?

I think Warbringer only ever did decent German thrash worship, but nothing to set the world afire.

I like Vektor, and most of the other bands that we've mentioned (a couple I'm not really familiar with), but I just don't like any of them quite as much as I like Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth or Slayer.

I certainly love progressive stuff, and a couple folks will recall that progressive rock influences are a defining characteristic of metal overall in my view, but what matters the most to me is that compositions have a combination of catchiness and emotional resonance via tensions and releases, pushes and pulls via melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, timbral etc. content.

One often-frustrating thing with metal for me is that the vocals often remove a lot of potential melodic content. Other features can make up for this, and it's not as if I don't like quite a few unusual vocalists who aren't exactly opera singers in terms of melodic content,but Vektor is an ideal example where I'd like them more with different vocals.

To be honest, I think the big four is fine as is. Maybe voivod could replace one I dunno.

If that's the case I probably won't review their stuff again. I've never bothered to listen to Sodom, but I just can't get into any of Kreator's landmark albums (Pleasure to Kill) ect. Does nothing for me.

Sodom is fantastic.

That is pretty good, Can't say I'm a big fan of the vocals on first listen, but they definitely have a crossover thrash sound & image going for them.
