I've heard technical death metal contrasted to prog death in that tech death doesn't necessarily have to experiment with any new sounds, but only that it must be technical and experiment purely with technique (like methods of guitar picking). I suppose a lot of prog death could be tech death, since prog anything is generally technical, but Gorguts experiments too much to be simply called tech death, throwing them in the same pigeonhole as Necrophagist.

To anyone who rags on Manowar: get ****ing tanked, crank this **** up, and then tell me they aren't the best band ever. As far as I'm concerned, that's the true test of any metal band.

I've dug DRI for years now, but I don't think I ever really heard them before today. I've given this album, Dealing with It, a pass for the longest time, but it's one of the best thrash/hardcore albums ever made and it just slays for days.

How do you fit so much brilliance into a song only a little over a minute? That weird, snaky riff at the start, which blasts into pure, misanthropic distortion and screaming without warning, and then around 00:37, when that riff (breakdown/post-breakdown/wtf???) kicks in, it's like laser-guided missile strikes are going off around your house.

But sometimes you just need something mindlessly badass. Stampin' Ground are just 90s hardcore mixed with thrash and groove metal, doing absolutely fancy, but **** do they hit hard. Punch-People-in-the-Head music.

The breakdown in this song is one of the most headbang-able things ever.

I definitely think thrash metal is my favorite genre of metal. It has a long period of time when it was pretty good, 83-91 roughly, and I have a large library of songs now.

Still haven't found a perfect thrash album though. Bands just can't sustain that kind of energy for very long. Of any album, Reign in blood did the genre right. It keeps the same intensity in a shorter burst, which is a genius formula. It doesn't have any skippable tracks, and that combined with its short length make it consistently entertaining hundreds of listens later.

In my grave down below
Hell's fire starts to glow

My prayers have now been heard
By my lord, my god, master Lucifer
There is no life or birth
When the undead walk the earth
Unholy blasphemy and torment
Are now set free

How did this band not get bigger? Brilliant combo of modern hardcore, thrash, and groove metal for some extra meat in the riffs. Working class brutality par excellence. Remakes no wheels, just makes them shinier than pretty much anybody else's.
