Never thought an SOD track would appear here. Very cool, Andrew. That album is a classic.

[@TrevRockOne]

One of the foundational songs in my life. I sing it every morning on my way to the fridge.

S.O.D's album Speak English or Die it's really heavy shit, great album, recommended listen completely !

[@stabaholic187]

What is so great about their album ??

[@ChurchOfTheHolyMho]

S.O.D. - Hell Yeah! Back in the day when you had to buy an album based on its album art, because you couldn't hear it first... my drummer bought this album - and so many of our friends loved it so much! One time we were on a HS band trip, and someone started playing Madonna's "Lucky Star" against objections... and so they were met with my friends performing a sing-along of SOD's "Pussy Whipped" (and others)- which was absolutely hilarious... but did draw some ire from the band director... lol

[@MrErikchaugen]

Probably one of the best albums ever recorded!!Imho!!

[@mvarnzo5709]

That SOD record is really unsurpassed in thrash. Crossover bands had just begun taking the best from hardcore punk and metal and welding it together. Punk no longer had to be played on tinny snares, strats and combo amps. It could be heavy. Some purists disagreed and still do. They were wrong and still are. United Forces.

[@RadtechCustoms175]

I knew about S.O.D b4 Anthrax because of headbangers ball. The song that was used in the opening was March of the S.O.D. It was years and years later after being an Anthrax fan, I learned of the connection. I can't remember exactly, but I think on one of Anthrax's tapes they had a live version of MILK.

[@KMAsKorner]

Exactly, heard headbangers ball intro and needed to know what that was from. One of my favorites from the mid 80's.

[@SavageGrace]

No way is this the first example of a blast beat. It was prevalent in the Hardcore Punk scene, which SOD was apeing, merging it with Thrash Metal. It was used in the Asocial demo in 1982, DRI in 1983 and even the Beastie Boys on "Riot FIght" in 1982. It was Napalm Death who coined the phrase "Blast Beat" back in 1985.

[@MyCoolboy17]

That’s my understanding of it as well, napalm death said blast beat in the line of the song with the first known gravity blast in a song, so I always thought they were the first to popularize the blast beat but maybe it was just the gravity blast

[@thomas35835]

I’m with you in this. I am pretty sure blast beat was common in hard core punk scene of early 80s. I grew up that time and that was the sound associated with it, not metal.

[@Duct_Tape.]

"I love that guitar tone." Well it's Scott Ian. Enough said.

[@caliokiegrownoklahoma4119]

Back then, when I was in California we listened to a radio show that played all underground, local and metal from all countries. We had to rely on it to hear new stuff! I was 1 year out of highschool when that album was released! It warms my soul to give a listen from time to time.

[@stabaholic187]

What was name of radio station ??

[@caliokiegrownoklahoma4119]

KUCR it was a college ran radio station.

[@Nissardpertugiu]

Igor Cavalera in Antichrist from Sepultura Bestial Devastation (1985) predates this a little

[@kjetilmedhus7363]

I remember this very well. I was 11 when this came out, and I devoured everything in the thrash and death metal scene. I remember tape trading this one with a good friend of mine. Good times!

[@hairychris444]

Guitar tone: Scott Ian from Anthrax. He's always had a chunky tone!

[@TomServo_MST3K]

Obviously everyone has their own individual criteria and metrics for determining things like this, but as far as I'm concerned, Benante and Bello is one of the top three tightest rhythm sections in the history of metal (The other two being McBrain / Harris from Maiden and Menza / Ellefson from Megadeth's "golden era" lineup).

[@CousinWhatIsIt]

Love this. I had Anthrax albums, knew of S.O.D., but didn't have any. Remembering hearing friends play this for me back then, because it was so nuts. I was learning drums at the time.

[@markgishhargesheimer7218]

[@jerkerjansson386]

I absolutely love this record! Still one of the best crossover thrash albums ever! Regarding the lyrical content, which have stirred up some controversy through the years. I bought it back in the 80s when I was 13 or 14 years old and even my parents got the joke. People need to chill. ✌️

[@stuntmankrocmcginty4896]

There's an SOD vhs cover that is an homage to the Guns N Roses cover on your shirt. I still have it, don't think it's made it to dvd. It's called K*ll Yourself: The Movie. That's the name of one of their songs 😀

March of the S.O.D, off that album was the official theme song for the also important MTV show Headbangers Ball. That album was just a combination of lightning fast playing and aggression and humor!

I believe Charlie is talking about Louie Bellson. There's a very popular video of him playing double bass and a proto blast beat in like 1955.

[@carlgibson285]

I don't think Charlie has ever claimed to have invented the blast beat, and as others have pointed out it was already being used on the recordings of other hardcore bands. What Charlie and SOD did do, however, was introduce blast beats to a wider audience who wouldn't have heard them before since a lot of metal fans checked out SOD because of the Anthrax connection.

[@russellward4624]

Kind of like how EVH didnt invent tapping and Jimmi Hendrix didnt invent the WahWah but they made them popular and influenced millions of people which is just as important. Without them nobody would have been aware.

[@trevordallas]

S.O.D was one of those bands that I never really got into. There was Celtic Frost, Venom, Black Flag, etc. and all of them were a notch above my threshold. I saw Metallica, WASP, Megadeath, and dozens of other 80's and early 90's heavy metal heroes. S.O.D was more hilarious than anything else. I grew up in Ventura, CA where plenty of punk bands played locally all the time, and heading to those shows we're less about getting rowdy and more about "enjoying the killer tunes and talking about gnarly surf stories."

[@kristiansolar4921]

Riot fight by beastie boys had blast beats and was recorded in 1981, but it wasnt released for a long time.

[@spidermancereal]

SOD Speak English or Die, MOD Gross Misconduct and Anthrax Among the Living are near the top if my all time favorite albums list. I still listen to them often. As far a that guitar tone, I've read that Scott Ian used a Marshall JCM 800 with a TC Electronic booster & line driver and he played an 80's Gibson flying v and a Jackson Rhodes.

[@steve.hoffman]

I grew up with SOD, MOD, DRI and Anthrax. Charlie was one of my favorite drummers in the mid-80’s and definitely one of the fastest drummers from that era. I always thought DRI originated it, though. Back then we thought of alternating 16th notes as cheating! If a speed metal/thrash band drummer could not hit the ride or hi hats at the same time they hit the snare, they were not seen as talented. Obviously everyone knows what Charlie was capable of from Gung-Ho, Deathrider, etc. Boy how times have changed.

[@jaskau2462]

🤩👍💥💯🎼 *BENANTE BEATS* Oh män this sh1t is a vibe and take this one back in the days when "New York Hard Core" (N/Y/H/C) popped up to here in Finland in a form of the Anthrax first. ...Surely landed here quickly as there is most Metal bands per capita in the world here in 🇫🇮 ...

I knew it was something Id never heard, but I wasnt exactly a connoisseur at the time, and I didnt realize it was the first recording. Amazing! I admit, I was kinda hoping youd attempt to break down the drumming, but YE GODS, I dont know how anyone could haha though I was surprised there’s a guy who did it, albeit (Im pretty sure) a simplified version. No way all that noise was actually 1/8th or even 1/16th beats lol but then again, at around 180-200bpm I suppose an 1/8th beat could be pretty fast

[@palladinodessa8988]

🤘I bought this in '85 🤣 thrash was just taking off and Anthrax and Slayer were my goto - so S.O.D. being Anthrax members made it an instant must have. Billy Milano started M.O.D. shortly after with different band members and Anthrax rolled on. This old thrash stuff from NYC was so influenced by punk and small obscure, never heard of local bands. Hearing some of the OG's talk about that time is so cool. 🤘

[@trenchgunM1897]

benante is not the 1st to record a blast beat throughout most of a song---that would most likely be javier madriaga when he played with Heart Attack (1980-1984). specifically, the song "From What I See". also, bands like Heresy (UK) were already experimenting with this style of drumming as early as 1983-85. here's Heart Attack doing it on their EP: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZOteJ2niN1sgcksi=k1P-AfmGHLIWpgX9

[@trenchgunM1897]

and here's Heresy doing it in the same year (1985) that "Milk" came out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnLcZYOhd62XidUsi=y1BKasOtnsBLA9cS

[@t_bone12571]

Anthrax did re-record a couple of S.O.D. songs ("Milk" and "Chromatic Death") for their "Attack Of The Killer B's" EP (Scott figured since he and Charlie wrote 'em they could do 'em); the Anthrax versions are a lot cleaner sounding than the originals, there's a fair few good covers on that EP as well. As far as the origins of Blast Beats, one could cite Bellson or Rich as those guys were fairly fast going back (it's pretty much up in the air); there's probably more information about that on KZbin, sounds a little similar to Eddie VH "inventing" tapping on the guitar. The techniques can be honed and further developed as time passes.
