When I get to the letter 'M' it won't be either Metallica or Megadeth, that would be boring!

EXCEL-THE JOKES ON YOU (1989)



Excel's music was a sort of Thrash/Hardcore hybrid that appealed to skaters and thrashers alike. Indeed guitarist Adam Seigel joined the ranks of Infectious Grooves in the early 90's. Their music was well produced and was typical of the crossover sound at the time. The main reason I am including them is the remarkable similarity of the track 'Tapping Into The Emotional Void' with a certain famous Metallica track. Despite the Excel track being released 2 years earlier, nothing has ever gone to court although some ex-members did consider legal action in 2003. I have provided a link for the track so you can make your own mind up!

Not similar at all!
I like the sound of this more i think, very catchy.

By the by, you don't have to put single song files in a rar file when uploading them.

So you don't think it sounds remotely like the opening track on the black album?

I'm being sarcy. I think it sounds like it with a bit flavour from the earlier albums, Metallica should have copied that bit too!

The more that is revealed about Metallica the more they fall in my estimation. Rat's droppings are currently one step higher...

'88-'90-I was a massive Metallica fan. Saw them three times live and bought tons of merchandise. Looking back on the grand scheme of things-they are incredibly overated and just seemed to be the right band at the right time.

F : FORBIDDEN-FORBIDDEN EVIL


Forbidden were (yes you guessed it) a Bay Area band who produced a couple of albums in the late 80's/early 90's that had a distinct whiff of old school Metal. Seemingly taking their influences from bands such as Judas Priest and Iron Maiden and upping the ante. Vocalist Russ Anderson was never particulary strong and their music was one of the more generic sounds of the genre. Nevertheless their sound is a perfect example of how the NWOBHM greatly influenced thrash.

Give the debut a listen:

Forbidden Evil CD

I'm screwed for the letter 'G'. A few later bands are available (gorerotted, gorefest) but they are'nt really thrash. GWAR are the nearest but they were just awful lol

I remember those guys! Like a lot of thrash for me, I wasn't particularly into them on my own but my friends listened to them so they bring back fond memories for me.
