Anyone else have this CD? Blackend are a German thrash band with a heavy Testament/Metallica influence. I've always loved this CD. Just something about it draws me in and gets my head to banging!

Yup, pretty good disc. I've got all 3 of their discs. Though they are never overly fast, they do write some good hooks. You can EASILY hear the Metallica influence.

Yes, I have this one and Sloth. I haven't got their 3rd one yet. I like these guys alot and this cd thrashes, but I like Sloth more. Maybe because I got that one 1st and lived with it longer, so I tend to reach for that one more than M.G.M.

No review?

it's an ok album, by an ok band. not my first pick when it comes to German thrash though.

I had a CD from them. That one, I think. Got rid of it. I wouldn't mind hearing it again, as my thrash roots have come back in full force these days.

I have it also, it's a good CD alright nothing groundbreaking, it's Metallica worship, I also have the Outtakes CD from this album.

If it's Metallica worship, it's Justice for All-era Metallica worship.

I have it, but haven't listened to it for ages.

That's for sure,

I certainly was not trying to imply that it was St. Anger worship.

I would think so with the name of 'Blackend'.... eh...

I have this. It's OK, haven't listened to it in maybe two months. Maybe should pull it out and give it a spin.

I had their last album, solid, but nothing special.

Did you ever check out the band Temple of Brutality Scott?
