METAL MORNING 5 - THRASH METAL

[@OlaEnglund]

Morning everyone! Hope you have a great Sunday! Since this video is demonetized maybe consider getting some merchandise from www.olaenglundshop.com or something like that!

[@oscarolbaid]

Great show as always xD I have a cup of questions for te next episodes FAQ : I remember when you barely know about Megadeth and now seems you like it. I'm so glad to see that. Hope you dig and enjoy the rest of the dischography too. Did you become interested a llitle more in their albums ? wich is your favorite and why ? Ohh and I have a Question for the Metal Morning with Louis. - How was your first Date and, Did she see you playing live with your band any time before the first date ? Greetings from Argentina, We still waiting for the next The Haunted Tour !!!

A wife with whom you can talk about thrash metal is a treasure

[@xvor_tex8577]

A wife with whom the bell tolls

[@dowens3781]

Every musician should have a girlfriend or wife who loves music - if not, it's going to hold them back as musician and eventually they'll quit music. I've seen this happen too many times with musician friends.

[@chrisking6695]

I can talk about everything with my wife including my hobbies and what I'm into. Maybe you need to meet the right woman. Lol

Sepultura - Arise is still one of the best thrash albums ever made

[@robwalsh9843]

Dead Embryonic Cells is probably the best song they ever wrote. The whole song is meant for headbanging.

[@saltpeter7429]

Beneath the Remains and Arise are very special Sepultura thrash albums. ARISE takes the lead by a hair, as it should being the natural follow up with the benefit of progression. Great band. QUADRA is the CD I have waited over 20 years for. Things went down when Max left, but I didnt automatically assume they would be awful without him.

[@ChrisXMetal]

Infected Voice is one of my favorite thrash songs ever. Brutal from start to finish.

[@PooNinja]

Omg yes 👏🏽 🤘🏽

[@janneranta7373]

Arise is a gem. The first 3 songs are stellar and Under Siege is very underrated.

[@craigharrison5406]

Agree 100% Testament didn't get enough love in the 80's and early 90's. They were so damn good and Alex Skolnick was just a level above other lead guitar players in the metal scene back then.

[@bjoern_thun_dersteel]

Yeah man!

[@tiagoramalhais5493]

That's because they were a very good but derivative thrash band back then, they really found their own sound in The Gathering and have been great ever since. Sckolnick is definitely a world top 10 metal guitar player

Exodus are one of my most absolute favorite bands, the song Last Act of Defiance is a fucking ripper. Another great Thrash band is Violator, also Possessed are classic, always referred to as death metal but their sound is straight up thrash. Demolition hammer are also a sick thrash/death metal band I like alot. Umm Morbid Saint, and also not thrash but a band you need to hear is XOTH from Seattle, technical spacey black thrashy death metal. Check out their newest album "interdimensional Invocations" self released and really next level shit I know you would appreciate.

[@3lullabies]

So true Reign in Blood is the benchmark. Also...SOD Speak English or Die is one of thrash perfection in my book. Metal Church gets honorable mention.

Favourite classic thrash metal band: Metallica. Favourite new wave thrash bands: Evile and Havok. Ps. That answer of the question of the day really touched me. I had that flick of a switch moment after a really tumultuous relationship ended. It's one of my weaknesses that I care too much about what people think of me and that I want to please those people. But when that relationship ended, I just stopped caring...It was such a weird but at the same time relieving feeling. I was always working so hard in school and at work to please others that it brought me to the brink of a severe depression. But having that flick of a switch moment really made me realise what's important in life. And for me those things are my closest friends and bandmates and the good times we spend together, since those are the things you will remember with a smile when you are old. Keep up the good work Ola and Louise! Greetings from a long time fan from the Netherlands.

I remember when Testaments 'the gathering' was released. Hearing D.N.R. for the first time made my fookin soul roar. I can recommend anyone, after drinking a few sentimental beers in your metal pub, to ask your brethren "do you remember the first time you heard Slayer?". With a big grin and tear-filled eyes the answer "yes.....yes I do...."

This has got me reminiscing about some of the tremendous shows I went to in the late '80s-early 90's. Savatage, Megadeth, and Dio, on a New Year's eve, at Nassau Coliseum. Celtic Frost, Exodus, and Anthrax, at the Capitol Theater, in NJ. Testament opening for Slayer, at Madison Square Garden. Motorhead, and Iron Maiden, at the Jones Beach Theater.

Metallica, Slayer, Megadeath, Testament, Anthrax, Danzig, you name it and I have the ticket stub! There will never be another time like it!

[@Grindermetalhead]

Anthrax were actually more popular than Slayer and Megadeth at certain points during the 80's and early 90's. If you look at the album chart positions by year, some of their early to mid-career albums were ranked higher than Slayer and Megadeth albums at the time. Their videos were in heavy rotation on MTV and they also had a series of mainstream crossovers like the famous collaboration with Run-DMC on their song "Bring the Noise" and a guest appearance on the episode of "Married With Children", but for some reason since the mid 90s their popularity started declining while the other 3 of the big four were successful at maintaining their relative popularity level throughout the rest of the 90's and early 00's and that's probably why people these days think of them as the 4th of the four, or maybe even undeserving of the spot in the big four. One thing that hit them really hard in the aftermath of 9/11 was the series of terror attacks with letters laced with anthrax that almost caused them to change their name.

GREAT WAY TO START MY METAL MORNING!!! Long live Ola Greetings from America!🤘

[@91Metalhead]

While Rattlehead was a good shout for Killing era Megadeth, you should have gone with Peace Sells man, that's when they got iconic

[@JohnDoe-vz3rx]

Suicidal fucking tendencies;)

[@rbitrick]

I could be wrong but I think Overkill (or is it Death Angel) was credited as the first “thrash” band. I love these morning show guys! Awesome job!

[@timoeruption]

actually the term thrash came from skateboarding, they used to downhill and it was super adrenaline vibe so some dudes went to a slayer gig and someone said:" this is just like thrashin', cause it was fast and it got you goose bumps, adrenaline thing.

[@daveklipschjr9464]

Totally gorgeous !! Good pick Ola and Louise !!!

[@nitrousnov]

can not talk about thrash with out mentioning OVERKILL , they never get enough credit

[@The_Real_Daniel]

You hear any of their more recent stuff? Straight metal

[@nitrousnov]

@@The_Real_Daniel yes , big fan of overkill , their new stuff kicks ass

[@The_Real_Daniel]

@@nitrousnov hell yeah 🤘🏻

I agree Overkill gets overlooked more than anyone...40 years and still going. More albums than any other and they continue to create amazing thrash metal.

Testament's Practice What You Preach holds up well today. Perilous Nation, Envy Life, Preach... Just GREAT metal music, produced very well for the times. The bass tone is just sick. 🤘 The New Order deserves some props as well. Trial By Fire was my jam for a minute in highschool, and that Aerosmith cover Nobody's Fault was dope too. What a great, underrated band!

[@NorthmaN_87]

Exodus and Testament deserve more attention when we talk about thrash metal...
