Thrash isn't even close to dead, you clown. And now you think Viking is only a lyrical style? You don't know a whole lot, do you?
Thrash is very dead. I have not heard an older thrash band put out a thrash album lately. Before someone says Exodus their new album is groove metal. Bands like 'the haunted' are not thrash. thrash is dead as fuck.
The cd has some thrash moments but is mainly very melodic. It's not like old Kreater for sure. I would not consider enemy of god a thrash album.
I have to agree with many on here that Thrash is NOT dead. If you think that, well then, you just aren't entrenched in Metal as much as you may think .
uh no genres would be considered metal, country, punk, rock, rap, reggae, classical, etc. He's talking about sub-genres of metal such as death metal, power metal, thrash metal, heavy metal, black metal, etc. Anyway, here are the basic genres and examples of those genres (not sub-sub-genres such as gore metal and viking metal and this doesn't include metalcore): Heavy Metal (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Deep Purple) Doom Metal (Candlemass, Black Sabbath) Thrash Metal (Megadeth, Slayer, (old) Metallica, Slayer, Testament) Speed Metal (Judas Priest (painkiller album), Motorhead) Power Metal (Manowar, Iced Earth, Helloween) Black Metal (Emperor, Venom, Mayhem, Darkthrone, Immortal) Death Metal (Deicide, Obituary, Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse)
That retard with numbers in nickname is right. Thread starter has put the question wrong...anyway we all catched his point
For the last goddamned time, Viking Metal is no longer a sub-genre. It's well-enough established on its own by now thank you very much.
