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.


Not exactly a deep cut but Testament is a band that I kind of glossed over growing up, to my own detriment.
The New Order
On the other hand, I was one of those weirdos who really got behind John Bush (Armored Saint) joining Anthrax. Dude is in my top 5 metal vocalists.
