Thrash metal, a subgenre of heavy metal. To talk about thrash metal we
need to go back to the 80’s -a decade that brought out a huge amount of new
bands and music styles- and land in San Francisco, specifically in the Bay Area
where a new wave of young musicians reacted to the glam fever, with its long
hairs, sticky rhythm and money-making records, creating music characterized for
being faster, heavier, and with lyrics about social issues and criticisms to
the establishment.
Some say that the first expression of thrash metal
is on the song “Symptom of the universe” released by Black Sabbath in 1975, but
it wasn’t until the different bands began combining elements of the New Wave of
British Heavy Metal with the speed of hardcore punk, that the thrash came out. Bands
like Venom, Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax; and in Europe: Kreator, Sodom,
Destruction.
I like this music because I’ve always had an inclination
for rock and playing guitar influenced me to listening to bands like Metallica
and Slayer. They have great guitar compositions and for me it was a challenge
to learn the songs and play them. I used to hang out with my friends and make
covers from all this bands, and spent the summers playing loud in one of my
friend’s basement.
Nowadays, I’ve been a little away from the
thrash because the university consumes almost the 100% of my time and so I don’t
have much time for listening, playing and knowing new bands, but every time I can
I put some CD’s on, and I feel great about it.
So, I invite all you to comment,
See you in class!
Sorry, but I don't like it at all. Only a few songs of Black Sabbath and Metallica, but it's no my favorite kind of music.
ResponderEliminarDon't let college keep you away from doing fun things or you might go crazy! haha I hope this summer you can have all the time you want to keep playing musci with your friends (:
ResponderEliminarI like rock music a little more slower, but I listen thrash metal sometimes. I made my post about rock :D
ResponderEliminarI used to like metal when I was 15-year-old young man. It seems like every year I prefer slower music. Trash metal wasn't my favorite one though, I liked more "progressive metal". Hope you got the chance to keep playing music ;)
