Warpath

Anyone heard these guys? Warpath Sounds pretty good to me.

Meh. Kind of generic.

That's thrash, my friend. I dig it!

Don't like the singer, I guess.

Sounds a lot like John Tardy from Obituary.

Sounded pretty good to me.

I like what I'm hearing.

Maybe it's not new and innovative but I have no problem with bands being good at what they do and Warpath are good.

Thrash is not, by definition, any more generic than any other form of music. I know that runs counter to what many current bands would lead you to believe but it is simply not true. Bands like ARTILLERY had incredible playing that wasn't just a cookie-cutter ripoff of SLAYER or whatever. They didn't create a whole new genre of music but they didn't completely emulate another band either. I strongly disagree that thrash requires less creativity.

I would say that overall, thrash is very much in line with punk in terms of variation. Not saying that's a bad thing at all, because I firmly believe good song-writing wins out any day of the week, but thrash is a very streamlined genre, I think.

I disagree. It's no more "streamlined" than power metal, funk, folk, glam rock, or anything else you could name IMHO.

I think you've probably just been listening to the wrong albums.

I'm with ToB, I don't think thrash is any more streamlined, stripped down, by-the-numbers (pick any adjective you want) than any other subgenre. I'd argue it's ever bit as versatile and flexible as every other type of metal.

Anyone get their CD yet?I've been listening to samples and its next on my list to buy.Thoughts?
