...since we're at t-minus 10 seconds until Macabre Eternal nukes this thread because I'm sure someone somewhere once made a similar thread 40 years ago...can I request the Mods at least link to the old thread before closing the replies

These kinds of bands are usually lumped together since they tend to share a lot of thematic overlap

Windir, Bran Barr, Manegarm, Ensiferum, Arkona (the Russian one), Skálmöld, Heidevolk, Primordial, Mael Mordha, early Enslaved, Falkenbach, Folkvang, Forefather, Graveland, Summoning, Moonsorrow, Murg, Nechochwen, Nornir, Norrhem, Obscurity, Panphage (highly recommended), Runespell, Finntroll, Thyrfing, Thrudvangar, Vintersorg, Waylander, Winterfylleth, Ygg

Ok so first Meshuggah aren’t Avant-garde and I don’t believe djent is a legit genre, so the more influential bands on avant-garde are probably going to be Gorguts, Blut Aus Nord but really, it’s a difficult genre to define. There’s a lot of crossover between folk, pagan, and Celtic metal, and I find it hard to pinpoint a specific origin for the genre, but I would say Moonsorrow, Falkenbach, and maybe Finntroll though I find  music a bit boring. Grindcore it’s easy, you’re looking at terra, riser, repulsion, napalm, death, and early carcass has the most influential bands. it’s easy, you’re looking at terrorizer, repulsion, napalm death, and early carcass as the most influential bands. Lastly Viking metal you’re looking at Enslaved and Hades

The only sub-genres Spidey listed that I know anything whatsoever about are crust and grindcore. Tons of great bands in each.

I'll say the best grindcore band overall for my money would be the now defunct Insect Warfare. P.L.F. is pretty good too. Problem with recommending grindcore is there's a few different sub-factions within grindcore, and you might like one or more but not necessarily all of them. Don't overlook Mass Grave and Brutal Truth either. 

Crust is tougher as it's my favorite sub-genre after black and death. You're probably not looking for a list of 50 crust bands. You already know Amebix and Hellbastard which is a good start. (Discharge is usually considered hardcore but they're absolutely one of the primary influences on crust) So I'll cherry pick a few favorites. In adition to Surge's picks (Doom, Disfear, Wolfbrigade, Nausea, Stormcrow, ENT) which are all solid and essential, I'll add:

 

Hellkrusher

Agnosy

Extinction of Mankind

Filth of Mankind

Driller Killer

Tragedy

Warcry

Hellshock

Instinct of Survival

Nuclear Death Terror

Disrupt

Swordwielder

Sacrilege (UK)

Axegrinder

Martyrdöd

Fukpig

Disgust

Parasit

 

There are many more but that'll get you started if you're so inclined.

Predates all but Falkenbach (if we're including demos) by several years...Folk metal goes back to at least '91 with the band Skyclad, though I personally always found the singers vocals kind of hard to tolerate. Cruachan is in there somewhere too

I’m used to his Vox owing to my great enjoyment of Sabbat, but I could see them wearing thin, and if I’m honest, I really only like Prince of the Poverty Line from Skyclad

    • Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious. 

      4/5
