nuclear assault vs celtic frost: go!

megatherium!! (is that them? i'm at work and my memory tis fukt)

Now we're talking. Pretty much everything from the eighties they did = godlike.

Oh shit I just realized there is a new Nuclear Assault tune called Celtic Frosty Cold Beer.. ha..

BUT!

Hang the Pope
Hang the Pope
Hang the Pope
Hang the Pope
Hang the Pope
Hang the Pope
Hang him from a fuckin' rope

Hang the Pope
Hang the Pope
Hang the Pope
Hang the Pope
Hang the Pope
Hang the Pope
Hang him from a fuckin' rope

Let's go to the Vatican, drag him from his bed
Hang the noose around his neck and hang him til he's fuck-in dead

Hang the Pope
Hang the Pope
Hang the Pope
Hang the Pope
Hang the Pope
Hang the Pope
Hang him from a fuckin' rooooooope

Repulsion - Slaughter of the Soul 2xCD reissue, what about that?

I'm just trying to figure out whether I'm the only one here who likes hardcore influenced metal bands or if I'm the only one here who thinks Nuclear Assault is just as good as any of these other bands I mentioned. All you ILMers seem to like lots of melody in your metal..

The new Agnostic Front - Another Voice, what about that??

Therefore this thread shall live forever!

...even as a two-way ping pong match.

Anybody remember John Connelly's Theory, John Connelly's band, named after a 24-7 Spyz song of the same name? Weren't they, like, err, jazz fusion or something?

And that new Anthrax album of re-recorded Belladonna era shit is great too.

I didn't know there was a Death Angel box set. I liked some of their stuff back in the day. Those kids could fuckin play!

Nuclear Assault.

And big ups to Sepultura for Beneath The Remains and one of my ALL TIME favorites - ARISE!! I think they've actually stayed pretty good over the years too.

Would it be too much of a stretch to shout out a few NYHC bands??

Cro Mags!
Crumbsuckers again!
Agnostic Front!
Burn!
Beyond!
Judge!
Sick Of It All!
Bold! (for me - only when Tom Capone played with em)

I got my moshpit cherry popped at a Kreator / Cro Mags gig at LaMours when I was just a wee lad of 12. My cousin was in, err, Carnivore at the time, if I remember correctly. Good, good times.

Death Angel COULD play but their lyrics were some of the weakest this side of Pungent Stench. Still, their 'breakthrough' album, Act III is pretty indispensible as far as thrash goes (Tho I still prefer Frolic Through the Park - "Road Mutants crushing all! They rise while others faaaaaaaaaall!!!" etc etc)

you're not the first guy to recommend to me the 'newer' Testament stuff - I have a buddy who's positively batshit for Skolnik. But to be honest I really don't see myself seeking any of that out! Maybe slsk...

Split Image was definitely the first Excel album. The Jokes On You - the song - was on Split Image. The Jokes On You was the second record.

Carnivore - Retaliation - is classic. I remember you talking about your cousin - you wouldn't say who at the time - a while back.. the thing about he and Billy Milano.. Peter Steele??

(Yes P3t3R St33l3. I come from a very strange family - metalheads, deadheads, lesbians, born again christians, Italian-Catholics, and cops. Anyway Peter is a great guy, I love him dearly).

Best lead player from the 90s? He's good, but aren't you forgetting James Murphy?? TOTALLY underrated on Death's Spiritual Healing, among many others. The freelance / go-to guy!

OK, OK, this is fun. Who's yr favorite death / thrash vocalist? Do you agree with me that Kam Lee was TOTALLY underrated? How about the dude from Autopsy? I suppose it would be wrong not to mention Glen Benton here as well...

An album I love that hasn't been mentioned yet is COC's Animosity. I just love it because there's nothing else like it. It has this really wild outta control hell-raisin' kinda mood that it wouldn't have had had it not been a band from down hurr in the south.

if memory serves, barney greenway actually referred to his "AYYY" roars as "kam lee vocal wipeouts."

who's the guy from suffocation? always liked him. chris reifert from autopsy, lori bravo from nuclear death (totally overlooked band), jeff walker and bill steer, tom g. warrior, vincent, benton, etc.. i never really thought john tardy was that great.

animosity! i just recently started listening to that again, it's so good. i still think i'm the only person on earth who likes snake nation (mike dean+woody weatherman's post-/pre-rejoining COC acid rock band). but i've been on a thrash kick this week - vulcano! pentagram (the one from chile)! demolition hammer! hexx! sadus!

and to answer the original question - CELTIC FROST. (minor TS: apollyon sun vs. john connelly's theory/c.i.a.)

Now this is a thread. I've been hanging around a hospital in DC for a few days, listening to Terrorizer and Burzum cassettes in a car. It's sad this city has gone boring doom, because in the 80s there were some truly off-kilter thrashcore bands, like early Deceased, Indestroy, At War, and Rancid Decay. Thrash is easy to break down into boxy speed metal riffs, but the originators like Accused and Exodus were all nuts. Definitely Kam Lee was the most cuthroat and killer vocalist of the underground 80s. I went to a nuts parade in Bradenton, Florida last year. Plastic beads and pre-teen mothers on the pavement. Hail "Infernal Death"! And the Excel demos totally killed the albums, sorry to say. "Merciless Onslaught" combined Exodus, Metallica, and Trouble, so surrender all info on a CD relaease, because my tapes are rubbed numb. Thrash or die,

Or Southern rock? He was also one of the original lead singers in Anthrax, back when he reputedly wore priest collars and carried 2-liter bottles of Pepsi everywhere he went.

i love it - high speed HCish metal that sounds like it was recorded in a corrugated tin box. this is history, guys! they had a song called "terrorizer" - c'mon!!!

Yeah, Master killed, no doubt about it. Voor, Cryptic Slaughter demo, Sodom demos, Hellhammer demos...

It's hard to know where to start. This thread title is a good one -- a real Sophie's Choice call.

But I don't know any Celtic Frost at all. Which probably makes me a clueless fool, so which album should I start with? I don't like big wanky solos much, more into full-on speed and barrage of noise (hence the fact I generally prefer the grind side of metal).

LORD WORM IS THE BEST DEATH METAL VOCALIST.

1. parched with thirst am i and dying (or whatever their compilation is called)
2. into the pandemonium
3. cold lake
4. vanity/nemesis
5. to mega therion

nuclear assault, insofar as i remember them, were worthless.

U ARE TOO OLD MAN. LET THE DREAM GO.

WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU MAN.

Anyway, on the subject of Michigan rockers, I haven't seen the Repulsion 2xCD reissue of HORRIFIED. Or the Voivod 3xCD reissue of WAR+PAIN. And there's a 20th Anniversary set of Exodus' BONDED BY BLOOD on the way.

you should maybe start off with some hellhammer, dude. "apocalyptic raids" is like ground zero for noise-barrage in metal, though it'll probably sound pretty mellow if you mostly listen to pig destroyer. follow that up with either "morbid tales/emperor's return" or "to mega therion." CF solos are more of the "fuck, 30 seconds to fill, scrabble out some fucked up noise" variety than wank.

Just found a copy of Devastation (IL)'s excellent "Creation of Ripping Death" demo, and looking for biographical info I fell into another forum where this kind of question prevails:

> 80's demo bands that never really took off, just seeing if any of you remember them.

Savage Death,
Savage Thrust
Annihilation (not Annihilator)
Deathrash
Prime Evil
Wargod
Desexult
Tyrannicide
Necrovore
NME (guitarist killed his family, I heard)
Hellpreacher
Deathtripper
Vacant Grave
Dethtoll
Wreckage
Minotaur
Black Shephard
Dorsal Atlantica
Mutilator (FR)
Poison (WG)
Bird Of Prey
Gore (MI)
LOD (legion of death or doom, I forget. They sang "I fucked your mom")
LSN (loud senseless noise)
WTG (Whoppers Taste Good, better than their name)
SBS(satans bake sale)
Pedofile
Desecration (AZ and CA)
Last Option

I say yes to every one of those except Dethtripper and Last Option.

These bands are touchstones. Everyone needs a friend who looks at the EAB bank logo and thinks: "Epileptic Albino Bullfrogs...where are they now?"

this band really got the shaft, historically speaking. they definitely picked the wrong name - and then became the similarly awfully named r.u. dead and did some nice death/thrash stuff.

has the coroner demo ever been issued on cd? i had a crappy nth generation dub...

Nuclear Assault logo is awesome.

these are only different from the same tracks on "to mega therion" by virtue of a slightly altered mix, right?

Celtic Frost should all be in print -- there was a massive reissue series about 4 years ago.

indestructible noise command. they covered two cars songs on their second album, apparently. i can't remember their music at all, but i think i'd probably take E-X-E, DBC or even DVC over them any day.

Anyway, there's probably no one here that wouldn't cum grape juice over a band I got into via Tom Warrior: Bohren und der Club der Gore. The album I have is BLACK EARTH, and it's minimal Germanic ash jazz, I think from Bâle. The catalog would say "for fans of Naked City/Slint/Neubaten/Scorn with all the cheese scraped away."

By the way, Ulver pretty much blows.

I miss all those albums. The Accused, Kreator, Death Angel, Celtic Frost (esp. To Mega Therion), Hellhammer (pre-CF), Possessed, DRI, MOD, Death, Pestilence.

I owned them all on crappy tapes. I was a stupid teenager.

I wonder if you can find this stuff on Soulseek!!!?

could you expad on this thought?

I owned them all on crappy tapes. I was a stupid teenager.

you and me both. lately i'm trying to rebuy all of my cheap noise/combat cassette stuff on vinyl.

you can definitely find the bigger names (hellhammer, death, possessed, pestilence) on soulseek, maybe even DBC if you get lucky.

this is Celtic Frost by 700 miles but in a vocalist battle, Connelly would basically be incinerated by one "OOOOOH" by Tom G. Warrior

idk why so many thrash metal singers wanted to sound like fucking Geddy Lee.
