Possibly the most underrated German thrash band ever.

I just got up from a good (actually rather bad) night's sleep, so I'm listening to Show No Mercy now, hoping it will jolt my brain awake. I'll see how far I make it with the two next albums after this.

By all means do. He seems like such a nice guy :laughing:

Why do people think that Slayer, Kreator or Dark Angel are fast?

No problem, it's all good. :beer:

Dare we hope?
Oh, he is, he is. You know he worked in a hospital before forming Slayer? I'm sure he'll be very polite as he removes your intestines one by one with his favourite knife.... :laughing:

I made it halfway through Hell Awaits at most, so it doesn't look too good right now. I might try again later.

And he didn't even listen to metal before Slayer hired him. So quite the turnaround.

All right I tried it. Well, some of it. I got seventeen minutes in before I decided nah. It's not without its charm, but it kind of comes across as a cross between doom and death metal, maybe? You know I don't like those growly vocals - if I have to choose I think I'd rather have a screecher - and that slow, plodding, well I guess doomy tone doesn't help. I doubt this would be anything I could get into. I think - gasp! - I actually prefer the Cryptos to this, but then, that's not saying a whole lot really.

Plenty of death thrash bands are intense or heavy or brutal, but fun isn't generally what I think of. Num Skull have such energetic, fun riffs while still being all those other things that it's kind of the absolute ****.
