Mekong Delta exist because a very highly trained musician/producer (and bassist) listened to Metallica's 'Fight Fire With Fire' on a tape given to him by Jorg Michael and said 'this has very interesting accents. I can do this better'. And he did. They are classical, in the sense that they apply a lo...

Yeah I know that my Voivod clause seems strange but when I listen to Nothingface and earlier material, it's pretty clear to me this band is very individual and doesn't extude that sort of technothrash vibe at all. It's almost like robot music... closer to industrial, strangely. I know many would not...

I think to understand progressive metal well one needs to know the three-four mostly disparate trends in it and see where each band falls to. There's the Fates Warning/Queensryche proto-progressive, which is usually intelligent power metal with twists and turns and amazing vocalists. Adramelch falls...

Speed metal is a term that emerged in the 'Heavy Metal, only BETTER AND NEW AND MAKES OLD HEAVY METAL REDUNDANT' days I think. Back when Metallica printed business cards that read 'POWER METAL' on them and so on. speed, power, thrash (initially) ment 'better metal' as far as I can understand because...

& also if you can find it: 'TARAMIS - Stretch Of The Imagination'! Great technical power thrash from Australia... a bit like Watchtower!? The ''Power thrash'' term is correct, although this particular album leans more towards ''power''. Still recommended. The two songs I've heard so far from th...

I think you need to listen to the first Inquisition (Col) stuff before they went "modern black metal". Excellent technical thrash, sort of mix between Kreator and Sadus, though they have an unique sound. That'll be hard to track down, but I'll certainly try. I did download some latater In...

I didn't expect people to be interested! I almost thought I'd have to mention how much I love Manilla Road and Fates Warning so people wouldn't spit on me

Thank you (all) for the welcome. Noisenik, eagerly awaiting your reply.

I am crying tears of joy and I haven't even started to investigate the recommendations. Thank you all for your replies so far. sovdat, when I say 'quasi' or 'demi' I don't mean these are inferior bands. I mean they are only partly technothrash. As to technical thrash = technothrash, I'd have to say ...

EXXPLORER: Symphonies Of Steel Overrated in some circles. There's talk of the TRVE AMERICAN POWER METAL MASTERPIECE, which while I really like the album, I don't really buy. Kinda bad production (nothing that hurts the listening experience) a few odd proto-progressive song structure choices, very g...

Hello, I originally sent an e-mail to the wonderful tyrant of The Corroseum, Dan to further the below inquiry, and he turned me towards the forum, so here it is! Hello. I love the Corroseum, and I've found many a great record through it. My personal kink is technothrash. I know that you probably don...
