Whipstriker: Hey, MetalMike! Have you heard our latest album, Merciless Artillery? It sounds just like old Venom and Celtic Frost! MetalMike: No, I haven't. Honestly guys, I get at least a couple of retro black/thrash albums a week and everyone says they sound like old Venom and Celtic Frost. Whipstriker: Yeah, but we really do! Our singer sounds like Cronos, we added some punk for that out of control feel and the music is fast as shit! MetalMike: Yeah, OK, I get it. I'll try to get to it soon. Whipstriker: You should listen right away! We REALLY sound like old Venom and Celtic Frost! You'll love it. MetalMike: (*sigh*) OK, Merciless Artillery, you say? Whipstriker: Yes! Doesn't that sound like a fucking cool 80s album title? MetalMike: Yeah, sure. (*reluctantly puts on Merciless Artillery and one spin later*) Whoa! You guys DO sound like old Venom and Celtic Frost. A lot. This stuff really kicks ass. Whipstriker: See??? We said you'd love it! MetalMike: I have to admit that while it isn't remotely original, it is very well done, and it really has that early thrash feel. Most of the black/thrash I get today sounds so forced but not this. I'm impressed. Whipstriker: So, you'll tell all the readers at The Metal Crypt it's good? We'd really appreciate it. MetalMike: Yeah, I will. Nice job, guys. There are a lot of bands trying to recapture this sound and you've done it as well as any I've heard in a long time. I'll let the readers of The Metal Crypt that are into black/thrash or hell, good fun heavy metal in general, they should check it out. Cheers. Note: not an actual conversation with the band – MetalMike. |
