i never considered you full thrash either. thrash influenced maybe. more like a Metal Church kind of band.

I agree. Metal Church, Meliah Rage, etc. We have as much classic metal influence as we have thrash influences. (Thus the musical mix on Lex Metalis) However, it doesn't really bother me that people classify us as thrash metal either. Power metal is a term that has become a bit flowery over the years, so I'd much rather be called thrash than power metal.

"neck snappin,fist pumpin,head banging"THRASH!! yea! bring it on!

Avenger of Blood
Dekapitator
Suicidal Angels
Violator

Warbringer
Skeletonwitch
Gama Bomb
Municipal Waste
Lazarus A.D.

Fueld By Fire
Warbringer
Evile
Savage Messiah

Gama Bomb
Haydes
Ravage

Hexen
Pitiful Reign Visual Violence is great but their first one Toxic Choke is even better.
Lich King
Evile


I'm starting to really come around on Warbringer.

I think my expectations were too high for Gama Bomb. Probably need to give it another chance.

Ultimatum is most assuredly thrash 110% thrash!

Every thrash band has elements of classic metal in their music. After all, thrash was spawned from traditional metal.

And that's not a bad thing mind you! Ultimatum RULES!



But to compare them to Metal Church is a stretch. More like Exodus and maybe even Overkill.
