I've been meaning to check out Mekong Delta for a while. I'll probably start with them first.

i really recommend them, they are maybe my all time favorite thrash band. Even more so than demolition hammer, stone, overkill or coroner.

Mekong Delta have some real cool stuff, and mid-era (around Escalation) Necronomicon is awesome as ♥♥♥♥.
Protector is good if you're into Death/Thrash.
Then there are numerous Blackened Thrash Metal bands from Germany that are awesome like Desaster,Nocturnal,Cruel Force,Ketzer etc.

desaster are indeed awesome but i wouldnt mention them when it comes to normal thrash recs.i still have to check ketzer.

The vocalist from Deftones and a bunch of the dudes from Isis have apparently started a new band called Palms with an album coming later this year.

I'm not so much into Deftones, but ♥♥♥♥ing love Isis so I'm pretty intrigued to hear what comes out of this.

New Isis has been pretty unremarkable. Celestial and Panopticon were very good but the intensity kind of died out afterwards, as did a lot of the coherence and intelligent song structures. Can't say I'm... well, at all interested in whatever else they might be doing.

Not a big fan of either, but as a Thomas Erak fanboy I do have a certain level or respect for the Deftones since he loves them so much. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it. eric is just mad because I ate all the chunky's chicken

No ♥♥♥♥.

That sounds really interesting. I like only one song from Deftones, and it's Chinos voice that really makes it pop.

I was on a metal forum and they were talking about Zelda.

True story.

True story.

And we're on a Zelda forum talking about metal!
holy mackerel!!!111!!

Been on a Swedeath binge the last couple of days. I've had Grave, Dismember, Entombed, Ribspreader, Edge of Sanity, Unleashed, Pestilence (okay, not Swedish but still) on constant rotation for hours on end with no sign of slowing down. It's been a while since I've listened to metal for so long at once. More suggestions are welcome to keep things going - at this rate I'll run out of albums within a few days.

big fan of Portal. Binging on their discog pretty hard. First thing I ever saw of them was this



and I wasn't entirely convinced they even knew how to play instruments, but after listening to more stuff I'm sold. This video



is one of the coolest ♥♥♥♥ing things I have ever seen in my life and they have converted me to fanboyism. Before I didn't know if I was even listening to songs but now I am convinced it's basically masterfully crafted chaos and I'm totally gay for it

Hell yeah man, Portal sound just like something that crawled out from an Silent Hill game or something like that hah.

portal is lovecraft in music form. Been a fan since just before outre'

eric next is a dutch doom/death phase.

Ahh Portal. Its pretty great.

ANYWAY! OMG YOU GUYS!



KREATOR!!!! NEW KREATOR!!!!


See? I still love metal!

^how did I not know about this? I'll listen to it later.

portal kinda scares the ♥♥♥♥ outta me.

This thread is now about how awesome the first Necrophobic album is.

yes, it is one of the coolest things I have ever listened to, I SPIN DAT HOT ♥♥♥♥ IN THE CAR ALL DAY.

I basically just made that claim twice on the same page about coolest things but I meant it both times I swear

Probably one of my favourite songs... ever.

new kreator song is meh.
kreator has not been worthwhile since coma of souls imho and even that one had issues.
