I was really amazed to find out this was fan-made! At first I thought it was an official Metallica documentary. I love how it isn't all voiceover, like a lot of similar type videos.

Essentially a mercy shot.

My fav Deth album, been listening to it a lot lately. Original version.
They even did the cover-track right. Made it their own. Everyone else did covers too, but most were lame as shit (looking at you, Flotsam, Exodus, Nuclear Assault). Metallica did most right too, now that I think of it! :D

Hahaha! Great stuff! Partly "x-mas themed" as well! XD

That was great too! :D

Nope, I haven't! Do you have a link for me? :D

I found them by chance on Bandcamp a few years ago. Very glad I did :)

For me, it's the attitude that makes it thrash, I guess.
There's grind and hardcore and crust and black, but I'm never exactly sure where one ends and the other starts... I don't really care either, it just gels or it doesn't...
These guys just kicked it out of the park for me, I love weirdos :D

Macabre's first release always felt more thrash than death or grind to me.
Some might think differently. Great album anyway!

High energy Kolbotn thrash! Great album!

Crossover thrash with D.R.I.'s Kurt Brecht and some Dead Horse members!

Also fit for Halloween lists! ;)

Love their gritty sound.
The whole mini-album is Name Your Price to download, so even for free!

Dutch thrash from their first album Malleus Maleficarum.
Became more death metal with the second album, and more prog from their third. First two are my favs.

DBC : M.I.A. (1987) (deadbraincells.bandcamp.com)

More Canadian thrash/crossover. This is from their first album Dead Brain Cells. Lovely piece of intense music!
Their second album Universe went for a more technical sci-fi approach, with a Voivod vibe. But it didn't really work for me, I missed the older energy.
They are recording again, since 30 years, and it does sound promising!

Not pure thrash, but a universe in itself.
Their first album When The Kite String Pops, is mandatory listening for every extreme music fan!
From thrash to sludge to acoustic to groove, it's beyond styles.
Insanity as a musical style. One of the sickest albums out there. I simply call it swamp metal as it radiates damp, rotting, stinking heat.
Vocalist Dax Riggs is out of this world with his vocal range, I'm actually amazed he didn't just die from spitting his guts out!

Note on the video: it's an album track with some live footage patched to it. It doesn't fit exactly, so it feels a bit amateuristic. But it does convey the immense energy of Dax and the band!

 

Now have some horsecore!

 

Seattle crossover/splattercore! Sick band!

Another recent find for me, they seem to like Slayer quite a bit.
So do I :D

Recently discovered these guys, was pretty blown away!
Modern thrash, old-school vibes and intensity!
