Greg_W Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 Just picked up the new Anthrax, and it sounds pretty good. Nothing earth-shattering just good, solid metal. If you don't like metal, fuck off this thread. (Just saw S. Park the movie for the first time, so had to throw in the 'unclefucka'; it still makes me laugh.) Quote
cracked Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 I really didn't need to see that, Erik. Where's that vomit graemlin? Quote
HRoark Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 Don't like metal, ERik? Fuck off, then, you fucker. Quote
Ratboy Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 I quit listening to Anthrax right around the time they signed on John Bush as the singer. Nothing against John Bush, it was a coincidence. He was an awesome singer for Armored Saint -- one of the most underrated and overlooked 80s metal bands -- and he sounded like a good fit for Anthrax. I just thought their music went downhill. Their 'Among The Living' era is still the best. Greg, have you heard of a band called In Flames? If you don't mind a little growling in leiu of singing, they are freakin awesome. Some of the best guitarwork I've ever heard. They have a lot of albums to choose from, but I'd recommend (in order) Whoracle, Colony and Clayman. I saw them at the Showbox a few months ago and the show was excellent as well. Quote
Greg_W Posted October 21, 2003 Author Posted October 21, 2003 I'll have to check out Armored Saint; I kinda liked John Bush's vocals. Give this new one a chance, it's pretty solid. Growling is good. In Flames, eh? Check out Archenemy for some chic growling, man; it's wild. Quote
Ratboy Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 Be warned, Armored Saint is from around 1984, so it can sound a bit dated now. Arch Enemy and In Flames are very similar, but I like the axework in In Flames better. Quote
