Good job on those covers. I’ve been listening to thrash metal for thirty plus years, that’s all I listened to in my sophomore and junior years. I like all of the bands that you played like Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Kreator. But the American Thrash Metal bands started to change their sound in the 90’s, whether it was them or record label idea. America started to embrace Alternative and Nu Metal, the German bands stayed the same and never sold out to anyone, some even got harder. Maybe you can do a second tier of American and German Thrash Metal; Exodus, Testament and Overkill don’t get love and they like their German brothers never changed their sound. Anyways, I look forward to your next video...🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

Honestly, I am a 50 something year old metalhead from the USA who lived through this era, never heard of a British big four. I heard Kreator, that's it, never heard of those other bands. Guess they weren't promoted in the USA. Sounds like music I would have liked. Will definitely check it out.

Kreator for me was the first one...extreme aggression 89 and coma of souls 90..great stuff...saying hi from germany...Rock on.

@Unharmed4 жыл бұрын
I've always loved how there's subgenres / distinct sounds WITHIN the subgenre of thrash.... like a band like Kreator sounds extremely different from a band like Death Angel... Kreator has that more blackened thrash feel while Death Angel gives me thrashy/skate vibes
@AgainstTheeWickedlyMusic4 жыл бұрын
German thrash, especially Kreator and, to a somewhat lesser extent, Sodom, were basically taking the aggression of Slayer and amping it up even more. I would say that those bands were basically playing death metal, before it was a thing, so therefore I think the Germans made thrash more brutal, but in terms of memorable, groovy thrash, I give the vote to America. It was put together better, and I'd say that musicianship was better with the likes of Hetfield, Mustaine, Cliff Burton, Dave Lombardo, and Hanneman in particular, and Anthrax's rhythm section was and is extremely tight
