Fuck man, I don’t know what’s wrong with me these days but I’m being seriously obsessed with 80’s sci-fi/post-apocalyptic/military conspiracy stuff so I couldn’t find anything better than the “Hangar 18″ video to illustrate my state of mind (although I know, it’s not exactly 80’s, I know)…
Fucking Megadeth again, I’m fucking regressing…

Bay Area thrasher veteran, he was famous for one thing.
This:
(I never knew the guy but thought I might share, his stage-divings were so SICK!!!)

Fancy a little bit of black thrash attack? Here’s a mix compiled by Fenriz himself for our friends at Vice Magazine in collaboration with A Fist In The Face Of God”.
Fenriz + Vice Magazine? So what? Fenriz rocks and I like Vice Magazine (mostly for this). Plus the mix is pretty good: old-school underground thrash, tight jeans and big sunglasses. Get stupid.

I love metal when it’s good. The only problem is that 95% of it is total crap. Dude, admit it. But once in a while some band comes to you out of the blue for some serious ass-kicking time. And you’re like: “Fuck yeah, I love metal!”. Iron Age riffing sounds as inspired as the thrashing idols of our teen days, when “Master Of Puppets” and “Bonded By Blood” were spinning 24/7. So this is old-school yeah, but a million times better than any hipster retro-thrash bands because Iron Age does not only summon the spirit of the past but also adds some ferocious psychedelic doomy ambience to the 8 tracks of the album. And they really don’t give a damn about vintage production as well: the sound on “The Sleeping Eye” is the equivalent of a constant ice-pick attack on your neck. Sharp and limpid as hell. So it looks like tight jeans, bandana and high-top sneakers sure, but also smells like a fucking lousy basement drenched in sweat, rust and iron. “The Sleeping Eye” will sound familiar to you, it will remind you of your best memories, when you were stage-diving over your parents’ couch with two drunken friends. Now that this bullshit retro-thrash trend is coming to an end, it’s so good to stumble upon a band who doesn’t mix the fact of having influences with being a stupid parody. This is not a gimmick, this is pure fucking metal, the way it is supposed to be. Very, very good. Check this out.
