Detritus Vs. Seventh Angel

Both killer thrash, both a bunch of brits, both on pure metal label for a while, both putting out two albums and then done.

What whould you rather listen to? I dig them both a lot, but I think my vote would go to Seventh Angel. Whats your opinion? Just something about Ian Arkley's music......

Ian Arkley is a personal hero of mine so Seventh Angel gets my vote.

Seventh Angel for sure. I like detritus, but they are a bit too melodic for me at times. I love the gloomy doom element that seventh angel added their thrash as well.

Seventh angel all the way...

Like them both, but I think I prefer Seventh Angel just a little more.

Yeah. ^

Seventh Angel just a bit more

Hah, I'll commit heresy and pick Detritus!

That isn't as bad as the metal heresy that Lars Ulrich committed earlier this week.

lol...I was trying to guess who would be the first Detritus supporter.

I only have one cassete from Detritus, so I go with Seventh Angel

Which album is it?

perpetual defiance

I'd have to say Seventh Angel, even though I love Detritus as well. Lament For The Weary is a freakin' masterpiece in my opinion. It's dark, menacing, semi-technical in places, and just flat out heavy as a truck.

I've been playing both a lot lately. I think that Detritus -If But For One is one of the most innovative (and brave!) thrash albums, although the quality of Seventh Angel -Lament for the Weary is also beyond dispute! Because Ian is still putting out great quality music, I'll have to go for Seventh Angel.

Both bands are killer. I can't decide.

DETRITUS all the way baby............

Detritus by a country mile. I never liked Seventh Angel, but Detritus was awesome, especially on If But For One.

Never heard Detritus. Who do they compare too?

Seventh Angel.

My friend says he doesn't like you. I don't like you either!


Well, then since I have all the Seventh Angel I want/need I don't need Detritus!

I love both bands but I'm gonna go with Detritus by a nose.

I've been listening to "If but for one" a lot lately, picked it up from Vordul earlier this week, I think thats what spawned the idea for the discussion. The only thing I dont like about Detritus is the fact that they dont have that old school thrash sound like Seventh angel(Maybe a little more groove or something then SE?). Now granted, "If but for one" came out in 1993 just about when thrash was no longer cool to some and also when all kinds of sub genres were emerging, If they could have just pulled off that older style I dont know who I would vote for.

I have never heard Perpetual Defiance, So I dont know what they originally sounded like or if they changed at all. But just listening to the album I have, Detritus is way more innovative/different then Seventh Angel, but Seventh Angel still takes it for me.
