Destined To Die - Violator

Great song and great band for fans of thrash metal  

I've always found it to be pretty ridiculous when people get suuuper offended after you sh!t on a certain genre or band. People have gotten mad at me plenty of times for saying that i dislike x artist or x band, and it's like woahhhh calm down!! It's my own taste and preference in music!! Geez... 

I LOVE thrash, especially how fast and raw it is. It was the first metal genre i ever discovered so I guess that's why it holds a special place in my little heart

It's okay, I'll let you go off topic in your own thread

Much to the disappointment of some I'm mainly into thrash. I do listen to pretty much everything except rap and dance music but my main focus for a while now has been thrash. I could probably name at least one band for every letter in the alphabet when it comes to what I like, but faves for me seem to change depending on many factors.

Im actually into thrash as well! never understood why other fellow metalheads find it disappointing, Ive only been in this community for about a year or two so maybe thats why haha. i actually used to think almost everyone was into thrash but I was pretty wrong, majority of metalheads seem to prefer death metal

Welcome,

All the genre sections here have a recommendations thread pinned to the top of most of them so that would be a great place for you to expand your horizons.

Hope you find something new.

EDIT - see FatherA has already said the above.  Apologies, too much eggnog.

Right! I keep forgetting about this, thank you very much for reminding me. 

Probably that option too Haha. 

Kinda off topic, but I was wondering what some of your fav bands are? Trying to expand my taste a little  

Well orcas are also known as the "killer whales" so I assume that's where the "killer cucumber" name came from. Very Nice!

Do not trust this guy with your kids!

My wife as the Squid Game boss, me, and my niece this year at the small town trick-or-treating event in middle America. Literally a town where strangers feel comfortable walking up to ask if you have accepted Jesus as your personal savior etc. etc. Hopefully we made an impression.

Nice pic dude!

Bahah, right!!!

It is truly amazing how much passion Nick had for music! I especially loved listening to his work in OHM, he went back to those jazz roots! Honestly, Nick's diversity in music projects is the reason why I love him so much.

To be fair some of the black metal fans here are actually normal people and they can hold up their side of a conversation

 

Okay, this one's true from what i've seen so far!

Nick's pre-deth stuff is definitely good stuff, different from what he did before, but good. I feel the same way about Ellefson getting a hold of the production, something about this makes me think that the quality of the documentary wont be as good but I hope that I'm wrong. Ellefson aside, Im pretty excited to see unreleased footage taken by Nick himself - i heard there's some Metallica footage in there from when Megadeth opened for them! 

I was wondering if you've ever listened to his solo album `Life After Deth´. Sound quality is not the best but I loved hearing him sing in every track! 

I guess you could say so!

Your profile picture is definitely an orca, sick!! Orcas are awesome animals.  

I dont know about you guys, but for me, Nick Menza is definitely a metal legend. The crazy amount of talent that man had is unbelievable. He had this raw, aggressive, fast way of playing, I think one could say he was a beast on the drums. No other like Nick Menza himself! I admire not only his ability to play the drums but his persistence in maintaining a creative mind and the strength needed to not give up after getting kicked out of the band in such way by Mustaine. I mean, if I had gotten kicked out of the band of my dreams 2 days after having a major knee surgery I would've given up on everything, but he didn't. Sure, he struggled for half a year with substance abuse, didn't leave his house at all, but he recovered from it all pretty well and went on to live a full-filling, healthy life. Hats off to Nick for that. I'm a huge fan of his! I wanna know what you guys think about Nick Menza.

Welcome to the forums.

I wouldn't share my name with people here either, some of them are black metal fans!!

 

HA! You just can't really trust most black metal fans, huh? Just kidding  

(P.S. Is that an orca in your pfp? I LOVE orcas!)

Welcome. Plenty of death metal floating around. Less of the other stuff. We have stickied threads full of recommendations in our subgenre forums, and some people have broken out their year end lists by genre if you're looking for the freshest cuts. Hope you enjoy the place.

 

Thanks! Will definitely check those forums out. 

Hello, due to privacy reasons I won't be disclosing my real name but you guys can call me "Rattle"

I am a gal who really likes death metal, thrash metal, nu-metal, not a huge fan of black metal but I quite enjoy Bathory.

The reason why i chose to join this web page is to discover more metal bands, I feel like I listen to the same bands all the time! 

Hoping to make some friends along the way as well, really happy and excited to be part of this community
