As of late I’ve been getting back into the thrash classics. Old slayer, Metallica, exhorder, kreator,…
And I notice a thing that I miss with a lot of newer material is a certain degree of rawness. In production, execution,…
Something about those slight tempo variations that you just can’t program into a click track spontaneously gives it that extra bit of bite to me.
And even a certain amount of sloppiness in playing sometimes. If it’s not too much I find it a plus for some styles.
So if you know any bands or albums that really stand out to scratch that itch, please share.
Addendum: thx for the feedback everyone! Looks like I’ll be needing another usb drive.
My recommendation is Sepultura - Beneath the Remains (1989).
The next few albums I think are great though they steadily move away from the thrash you’re describing.
Oh beneath the remains and chaos AD are some my all time favourites. I think chaos was in fact my very first metal album (on tape no less).
Beneath and Arise are like two halves of a double-album, the best Sepultura have released.
Arise is my absolute favorite of their albums.
Oh yeah, plus soulfly, cavalera conspiracy
