ahahahaha no

I don't think 90's thrash was so bad. There were some pretty good albums in 1990 and 1991 (Horrorscope, Coma Of Souls, Rust In Peace) and after that groove became modern. There were still some pretty good groove albums. Kreator's experimental period isn't as bad as you say, I love Endorama. But anyways, after the 80's every musical decade seems weak.

Outside the media disturbances that Deicide and Cannibal Corpse created, Death Metal (well, at least the scene) may not be too interesting but Black Metal certainly is.
Whether you're talking about the church burnings and murders or the music itself, there are far more talking points than you'd care to imagine. From the mundane ("So were Venom the first Black Metal Band"?) to the serious ("can overexposure to overtly antichristian lyrics and attitudes change a person's beliefs and cause a decline in morals over a length of time"?) to the plain silly ("So, what's with all the dressing up like badgers then"?).
The music itself was (and occasionally remains) challenging, but even if you're not a fan, Black Metal as a whole is definitely interesting.

It's interesting in a "what the Hell are all those nerds doing; why hasn't someone bullied them into stopping yet?" way.

Genesis and Toto die, Burzum and Cannibal Corpse rise. What a terrible decade.

Only band worth listening to in the 90s was Oasis. End of argument.

Black Metal and everything it stands for is just gant.

There's no getting round it.

I think I actually agree with you, Lev.

Bloody nora.

In what way did Genesis and Toto die? The former haven't been any good since "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" and the latter just kept plodding on.As far as the general media were concerned in the 90's Burzum and Cannibal Corpse didn't (and still don't exist) and ask random members of the public in the street if they've heard "Rosanna" or "I cum blood" and see what answer you get.And before you start,yes I would rather listen to TOTO IV than Det Son Engang Var.

Cannibal Corpse's first 3 are fucking killer, Butchered At Birth is a great album!!!!

I was listening to it on my mp3 last night while cruising the mean streets of Worle on a silver BMX

Also..... Hexenhaus - Awakening was a great 90's thrash album!!!!

All Oasis did was rip off the Beatles!!111 That's all they've done! In their whole 17 year career! Every song!11 Bring It On Down, My Big Mouth, Rock N' Roll Star, all blatant Beatles rip off's!

Anyway, thrash was shit in the 80s, nevermind the 90s. I always thought the best metal album anyone put out in the 90s was The Great Southern Trendkill, really rated that one and hated everything else Pantera did with a passion.

But The Great Southern Trendkill was terrible.

To continue the trend of agreeing with Iain, I'll hop on the bandwagon this time.

Rubbish.

Three different people have agreed with me on three different things within the space of around 18 hours. I'm not liking this at all. I'll have to reassert my amazing-ness by finding something that everyone else likes and denounce it as gant.
