What do you know about Spanish metal?

[UxFxTx]

Probably, you know of this revival thrash metal wave: a lot of bands that have appeared recently and have started playing old school thrash metal, specially in USA, Europe and South America. You probably know some of these bands, like Evile, Fueled by Fire, Violator, Dekapitator, Lich King, Gama Bomb, Bonded by Blood, Merciless Death, Havok...But there are also a lot of good bands here, in my country. In my opinion, they aren't as recognised as they deserve, although they make such a good music. Here are some of them and some songs, I really hope you enjoy them: -Angelus Apatrida (from Albacete). Probably the best known Spanish band.

-Crisix (from Barcelona).

-Mutant Squad (from A Coruna).

-Exodia (from Valencia).

-Rancor (from Madrid).

-Aggression (from Barcelona).

-Conqueror (from Barcelona. They are "beginning", but pretty awesome anyway).

Well, I think that's enough for now. If you want more, just ask for it! Hope you like it . Bonus track!

I know a few names from the Spanish metal scene, like Avulsed and Machetazo, but can't say that I own any Spanish metal. I'll preview some of those tracks, but there are very few revival thrash bands that don't fall flat on their face IMO.

I might check out some of those links when I get the time. The only Spanish band I know is Mago De Oz who are very much worth a look if hard hitting power metal is your go.

Well, if you like that kind of folk metal, their first albums are ok (I like them), but their latest albums are just crappy. A lot of metalheads here hate Mägo de Oz lol, can't blame them (even I hate them, they turned a pretty decent band into a shitty, sold-out band). It's curious that you know the most hated-by-Spaniards band hahahah.

The one thing that I thought I knew about Spanish metal turns out not be be true. I assumed that Ankla was a Spanish band, rather then form California. I bought their album "Steep Trails" in a pawn shop and listen to it a few times a year. I'm sure that story will fascinate everyone who reads it. And here is another fascinating anecdote, this one comes from my high school years and may relate directly to Spanish metal. There was a Spanish exchange student in my class, who I did not like, and he played some Spanish thrash band and was proud of their fascist politics. That was most likely in the year 1986, for those keeping a close eye on my timeline. (Those obsessed with categorization, please be aware that it may have been more of hard core band, but I don't think so, I think it was a thrash metal band).
