Why do bands like Black Dahlia Murder and Dillinger Escape Plan suck so bad? Why is new Thrash Metals so bad?

People have been asking similar questions for generations. My theory is that they are running out of new material. Things that have never been done. Thrash metal was born to be anti glam rock. There is no doubt it is. You know there are some awesome thrash metal bands. These just are not them.

Reply:I have never heard these guys but if they are stinking up the stage it is usually because they are trying too hard to sound like another band.
Reply:TBDM and DEP are metalcore, not thrash.


And TBDM is one of the better bands out today, DEP sucks though,
Reply:Bands now-a-days are all about the hate, and not about the music. Look at a band like Metallic, it was heavy metal thrash, but it also had great lyrics, melody, and some kick a** themes going on in their songs, not to mention Kirk Hammet's awesome thrashing abilities and James Hetfields powerfully angry voice.





But modern bands don't got that. They are lacking in talent and good melodies, and their "hate" is nothing but recycled formulas for what they think will sell on the market. You can engineer a good rap song, rap about bling bling and sexy women, or you can scream about emo-depression until your throat hurts, but real-anger and real-pain can not ever be fixed or doctored up. And let's face it, these thrash metal singers appear to be hard a**es, but really they're just punks. Is there any band that even comes close to Pantera? Or even Guns and Roses (old style)? I think not.
Reply:ALL metal is bad. ALL of it.
