Chainsaws...Venom's Black Metal album begins with a chainsaw cutting through a metal door..cool intro, little known fact.

05:19 - Draven Edge
Too bad, those were two of my favorite bands, Youthanasia is the last release I liked in it's entirety

05:11 - BoxCar Willy
I literally have 9 chainsaws. I'm either too fucking metal, or too fucking Canadian. Or both.

05:03 - Maco
Well. They are 2 years of difference between those albums. Reshit from metallica. And Shit risk from megadeth.

Pretty effing lame punk/thrash if you ask me, and who would not.

Lit. - 06.08.2012 at 21:18

I agree. And how is this technical? I think the Sex Pistols were more technical than these guys. Crap album.

A lesser Kreator (Pleasure to Kill). I thought they were decent at some points.

ERROR - this album is better than Pleasure To Kill : more energetic, more original, with better solos ...

I agree. And how is this technical? I think the Sex Pistols were more technical than these guys. Crap album.

Even if it might not be particularly technical in terms of structure or chord sequence, you have admit that there are not many people that play guitar who can play chords in 32nd notes for the amount of time these songs last for. Also I don't think even Petrucci, Vai or Satriani can shred this fast, some of the solos are also neo-classical influenced.
