Random old metal you are loving

He was good natured about it, though. Kept saying "C'mon, mothafuckas!" but was smiling the whole time. I honestly was kind of surprised by Tommy Victor on the whole. I guess I had assumed he would be super intense guy, but he had a gregarious presence. Really seemed to be enjoying himself. He was flawless, too. I've always enjoyed his playing. Both Prong and Voivod are 3-man bands who sound way bigger.

I hope you get to see them, unperson! Not too far to Seattle or the bay from there... maybe the stars will align some day.

speaking of shows, I caught Necrot, Ghoul, and Municipal Waste last night. or rather, the first two - I'm not a MW fan, think when it comes to thrash revival, they're my least favorite of the big'uns (Toxic Holocaust is more my jam).

Necrot were great, though really they could use a second guitar player live. those solos are great but shouldn't be played over bass, and it does render some of the riffs murky if you don't know them (which fortunately I do). but they still had a great energy and I'm stoked for their newest album.

Ghoul were kinda the surprise for me, I've seen em and listened to em before but mostly as an afterthought, I just knew them as the dorks who wear sacks on their heads. they've really leaned into their inner-GWAR, with full-on goofy costumed characters, voices and storylines, and the music itself is a bit more than the 'good surfy thrash' that I remembered, there's a lot more grindcore in it (which makes sense considering the source bands for Ghoul). sound-wise, they sounded phenomenal, the energy was incredible, the goofy theatrical sideshow was entertaining as hell, plus they insulted Joe Rogan which was a plus.

I had entertained staying for MW just to get my money's worth but had enough fun watching Ghoul that I felt satiated.

I saw MW last year as well and would have left during their set if they had been headlining. Sacred Reich, who were never one of my favorite thrash bands, played before them and blew them off the stage.

love SR! i can imagine - i saw them live once and they were fantastic.

Timeghoul - Occurence on Mimas.

Shit is incredible.

This NWBHM album More - Blood & Thunder from 1982… wonder is Chris Cornell hears this album, dudes kinda yell similarly

Only about 10 years old, but not sure where else to post: "The August Engine" by Hammers of Misfortune is great catchy, somewhat progressive, melodic thrash, maybe a bit like Satan.

Oh wait, 20 years old. I was fooled by the bandcamp release date.

Manilla Road - Courts of Chaos

Just hearing this for the first time. Its great.

This is one of the greatest examples I can think of of a band that isn't great in general, but has one song that absolutely fucking rules, and this is that song. I listen to this, like, once a month at minimum:
