HOT CROSS was my Absolute Favorite Band In The World for about 5 years, so great. the only band i have ever gotten to see on my birthday! OFF MINOR is a great band as well, but i didnt find them that exciting live.
going to see NAZI DUST tonight, so excited
havent been to a DIY/storage unit show in months. fucking hell!
This metal isn't new, but it's pretty underground -
I've been listening to a lot of Coroner lately. A band formed by former Celtic Frost roadies back in the late 80's, and what emerged was actually pretty fantastic. Highly technical, even proggy thrash, that succeeds better than any other band I know of at seamlessly blending highly articulate melodic phrasing and intricate song structures with a fast, aggressive thrash sound. Check them out.
I love me some Venom. Sounds like Mantas is using a chipped straight razor as a guitar pick and they're recording in a corrugated metal shed with a single tiny microphone. Rough and fantastic. Fantastic evil proto-black metal/proto-thrash.
