it was magical, admit it

Surely 'play old school 00s' is the most retarded thing ever. I know what is being said - let's have the influence without the nostalgia and romanticism - but come on!

old skool 00's would be like nu-metal

Sounds pretty darn good.

The one thing I do appreciate this band is the giving out of free CDs. Good stuff.

It was a typo. I meant old school sound in the 00s.

I dunno guys, to me, Thrash is what was invented in the 80's, if you start changing it it wo't be like proper thash, it'll be like thrash-core or Crossover-thrash. If it's thrashy then I'll most probably still like it but I just think if you're gonna play true thrash it's gotta be 80's style. But that's just how I feel, although I would go live in the 80's if I could, I have a boner for the 80's.

Although, that said, I do feel like this current moment in time is kinda like the 80's, there's loads of cool new thrash bands and it's getting really good! Again.

80's was the best year. cause I was born in it, best movies, best time for music, best everything bar shell suits.

As the mid 80's to late 80's was the peak of thrash, I dont see no problem falling back on it. I mean if you did'nt you would'nt have no influence and no blue print to work from.

To answer a few things.

Resilience Records - We're from Warrington, not a lot of thrashers here!

Hahah no idea you guys where from Warrington, I'm from Widnes no one seems to know where that is though...

In related news I walked home from Warrington last night after seeing High on Fire in manc because the trains where being gay so had to get one to Bank Quay and walk from there.

You're misreading me. I'm saying that Thrash (PROPER Thrash) shouldn't just be an 80's thing. That's lame.

Why can't it be like death metal? Just a genre, not a time period.

Labelling Thrash an 80s only thing invalidates it as a proper genre.

If Ride the Lightning style album was released now, I would hate for it to be called '80's style'. It's just Thrash.

Isn't that the whole point of the Thrash revival? Not to remember and celebrate, but to bring the genre into modern times. (and that doesn't necessarily mean modern sounding either, I love the raw sound of bands like Merciless Death).

I just think people should copy the 80s bands.


No, I'm being serious.

Well, you see, Death Metal has constantly progressed from very late 80s to the modern day. Compare Horrified, to Focus, to In Their Darkened Shrine. You don't find that sort of diversity in Thrash. Thrash was very much an 80s' phenomenon. In the 90s it died. Straight up died. The only reason the big 4 made it through the 90s is because they moved out of Thrash. The rebirth of Thrash is because of bands capturing the essence and energy from the first-wave of Thrash. That's not a problem and it doesn't make it a re-hash. However, to escape the straight-jacket of the Thrash genre is to no longer be Thrash. It doesn't make the music shit or not worthwhile or even not Thrash influenced. But there are bands like Merciless Death who are Thrash and bands like Darkane who are not.

All agreed, but people are making Thrash into a time period and not a genre. It kinda invalidates what we are all doing to call it just an 80s thing.

Also agreed. There's acknowledging your roots and then there's being a silly, purest arsehole.

That's quite a fucking walk there! Jeezus! Bet the gig was worth it though. That's the problem with Manchester, last train = 11:15, end of gig = 11:00, walk to station = 25 mins if yer lucky and sober.

Cheers to all who've asked for CD's & I've sent a bundle off today. I'm gonna limit what I'm sending on Myspace as I've had some right rude bastards get in touch but whoever asks on here gets one for deffo (Including you STD_Caps, just got your mail) as it would appear that some of you like to Thrash!

PLEASE KEEP ASKING

Our take on the 80's thing is that (forgive the cliche) we write music we want to hear, to the point of that my own demo has 40 more plays more than any other artist on my Itunes list. If it sounds very 80's then it's because it's only what we want to listen to so I make no appologies. The fact that other people like us has seriously blown us away. We were talking about this forum loads last night!

Bands playing modern thrash will always have one foot in the 80's anyway or you wouldn't recognise it as thrash, it'd just be generic mainstream metal.
