CSDO is NOT a 'pristine' example of oldschool thrash, man. That's not really a fair assessment. We don't like them any more than you do (original point of the post) hahah.

I never said there were more thrash bands touring than death metal bands. Death metal is far more recent and thus obviously a more widespread form of music. Also, you have just disproven your own point: no thrash bands sounding like Exodus/Overkill are touring right now, BECAUSE THEY ALL SOUND DIFFERENT than those two bands!

The Haunted, Slayer, Kreator, Destruction, God Forbid, Shadows Fall, In Flames, these are all bands either 'rooted' in thrash or actually playing oldschool thrash, love them or hate them. They are all either touring or have come off tours recently.

People don't want to hear oldschool thrash? I beg to differ, the latest Kreator tour was more successful than any other Kreator tour in history! Their record also soundscanned just as many copies as ANY death metal band in the past year (possible exception of Nile).

I play guitar and I can do just as much with thrash as death metal. I have no idea what you are talking about, again you have only named three thrash bands, ALL US thrash bands that started in a certain time period. (Overkill, Exodus, and Slayer). There are so many others out there that sound different...

Not to mention, your own screen name is a thrash album (with thrash vocals!) by Darkane!!! CLEARLY thrash metal. So why the hell are we debating this? Are you just biased because you are in a death metal band? Just how old are you? Were you even alive when thrash birthed death metal?

You don't think the 250,000 death/gore/grind bands who all sing the same subjects and play the same double-bass, chug-chug, palm mutes on lowest four frets with harmonized 5ths are following rules? Give me a break! How many death metal bands have created an original vocal style over the past 17-18 years of its existence? Carcass, Death, Morbid Angel, Demilich/Incantation, Entombed. That's it...

Now compare vocals from Death Angel, Exodus, Overkill, Slayer, Artillery, Venom, Holy Moses, early Metallica...Megadeth. All pretty fucking different! And the list could go on. Have you heard Watchtower? Tell me just what rules that band was following. Bullshit.

Here is an example. I ENJOY Porphyria, don't get me wrong, I like the music alot and I think it kicks ass! But please back up your statement that you are not following rules yourself? Tell me what guitar techniques you are using that Decapitated, Suffocation, and countless other brutal death bands haven't already used? Absolutely none. So how can you think all 'thrash' follows rules and death metal is 'experimental' when death metal is CLEARLY doing the same thing. That is not fair!
