The status of thrash metal in Boston.

[May 18,2010 3:19pm - arilliusbm ""]
Let us take some time and talk about the status of thrash metal around Boston. I don't live in the city so please enlighten me on what's going on with thrash metal around here.
There's the dawn of these "pizza thrash" bands which some love and some despise.
List reasons why these bands either a.) suck b.) are bad for thrash or c.) great.
Also list all non-"pizza" thrash bands around and provide links. basically, WHY are the thrash bands moving away towards a Sodom-esuqe sound and more towards a partyfuntime sound. Keep in mind I'm somewhat clueless on what constitutes these "pizza" bands. They're certainly cheesy.
Also, why aren't there many old school sounding thrash bands around anymore?
Help a brother out - it seems Boston thrash is evolving and ain't no body doin a damn thing about it.
Regards,

Boston hasn't had any good Thrash since Abhorred and Extinction Agenda.
All of the other bands nowadays I find really boring, corny, safe and dry.
Pizza Thrash is applied to any band that throws a show with a keg and somehow convinces themselves that everyone is there for them, because they are amazing. Only true alcholics and headbangers can see through this veil of insecurity. It's a mystical gift that many refer to as "negativity" or "being close minded" or the abominable "elitist" accusation.

The thing about "pizza thrash" as some people like to put it, is that it isn't a purely metal genre. It's crossover. An equal parts punk and metal formula that to me has more to do with DRI than say, Slayer. The only reason it gets called "pizza thrash" rather than "crossover" is because of the lyrical content of the songs, which to me is pretty fucking stupid. So obviously if you like your thrash to be 100% metal then you're not going to dig the pizza bands.

Okay Aril, you made me run out to my car for this one.
Here's the lyrics to a Cross Examination song called "The Foodening". If there ever was a pizza thrash song, this is it.
Well it happened in the month of June, the crew had been partying since noon, the sun had not even yet sunk, but we were fucking drunk. The beast called it from deep inside. We knew there was no way to hide. Hunger creature attacking, appease the foodening. Piled in the car and hit the streets in search of eats on which to feed. The destination this epic day; the pizza buffet. $3.49 - all you can eat pizza. $3.49 - pasta and eats at, $3.49 - the price denotes the mark of the feast. We climbed across the buffet table, devouring all that we were able, and when your average men would drop, we didn't fucking stop. We cleaned out the entire store, pizza warriors we righteous four, we razed and pillaged this delicious land, buffet vikings. Mark of the feast(x4). The foodination was strong this day and we annihilated the whole buffet but when we asked the counter girl for more, she turned and pointed us to the fucking door.
Pay heed to the sign. All you can eat it says for $3.49. Now our demands are clear. If you stand in our way, you'll perish on this day for no one can contain, the fucking foodening.
Not that old thrash is my forte or anything but I'm guessing none of those bands had songs this ridiculous.
"Pizza thrash" is more commonly known as "party thrash", I think the pizza part comes from this board.

I actually like a heavy helping of punk in my thrash (which is funny in and of itself since you only got thrash by dumping heavy helpings of punk on NWOBHM bands) - the whole crossover thing was huge for me - but from where I stand, what most of these pizza bands are doing is less "punk influence" and more "not playing so good".

To most thrash fans, the “big four” consists of Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer. To the unsuspecting passerby of a thrash fan, the “big four” consists of indescribable odor, questionable stains, yellow teeth and unkempt lice infested hair.
No neo thrasher would be complete without his “kutte” or “battlejacket” or “smelly vest with way too many patches”. The kutte is the thrash equivalent of a TGI Fridays waitress vest, the more flare the merrier. Spending endless hours scouring ebay for patches and bedazzler replacement parts, he hardly has any time at the end of the day to watch any of his 80’s VHS troma movies. On a number of occasions his mother has snuck into his bedroom in the basement in an attempt to febreze his beloved battlejacket, but has ultimately failed as it seems he never removes the vile vest.
Stuck without a job, a futon covered in beer cans, a Metallica with short hair, a boom box that eats cassettes and a shower that hasn’t felt his presence in months, the Neo Thrasher seems to be at his lowest. Fortunately there is a kegger behind the abandoned gas station this Friday.

yeah, these are all dead on.
again, any show that is giving beer/pizza away to people like walmart stickers or free drinks in vegas, is totally false. it's in the same league as pay to play.
very similar to the classic case of, fucking fat chicks vs. riding a moped

Yes, people looking for certain things out of a specific style of music...the thought is reviling, isn't it.
It is if it's evil, which... enough, already. There are more than enough evil bands. If you roll together all the radioactive skate shark pizza zombie thrash Exodus clones, you still wouldn't have half the number of bands with an inverted crucifix in their logo.

Lamp said:The thing about "pizza thrash" as some people like to put it, is that it isn't a purely metal genre. It's crossover. An equal parts punk and metal formula that to me has more to do with DRI than say, Slayer. The only reason it gets called "pizza thrash" rather than "crossover" is because of the lyrical content of the songs, which to me is pretty fucking stupid. So obviously if you like your thrash to be 100% metal then you're not going to dig the pizza bands.
Seeeeee...
I actually like a heavy helping of punk in my thrash (which is funny in and of itself since you only got thrash by dumping heavy helpings of punk on NWOBHM bands) - the whole crossover thing was huge for me - but from where I stand, what most of these pizza bands are doing is less "punk influence" and more "not playing so good".

haha, personally, if I'm in a thrash mood, I EXPECT it to not be PG-rated, well-played, and with a sense of fucking conviction. You hear a few thrash songs and you hear them all - I'm not looking for genius composition or anything, I want an outlet to vent. I thought that was the reason metal came around? Call me old-fashioned. I just don't like the wave of Municipal Waste bands (I.E. http://www.myspace.com/pizzafaceband).
I'm all for a good time - and if I want to listen to happy music, I won't look in my metal collection. Some people like the taste of shit, fine by me. I'll keep listening to Tapping the Vein...

I never really go out of my way to listen to happy thrash because what is that, but I only listen to thrash when I'm in a good mood. If I'm pissed or depressed about something I can't listen to thrash, or metal in general.

personally i tend to dig the new bands that are mixing thrash with other genres rather than the straight up "thrash revival" type bands...unless it's done really well (see: razormaze).
i like humor in my metal so i like some of the less "evil" bands... most of the newer thrash bands (especially the evil/serious ones) just seem like a weak imitation of past greats. attn: warbringer... you are not demolition hammer, quit trying. but it's definitely become a trend that has spawned many shit bands (pizza thrash or not)...but then again so does any musical movement/genre so it's not surprising.

Anthrax were no less serious than other thrash bands of the time. And they are also bad ass so give them a fucking break. And what's wrong with new thrash? It's no more generic/uninspired/silly than Black Metal bands that wear corpse paint and steal Emperor riffs from 1995, or Death Metal bands that only sing about raping things and steal Cannibal Corpse Riffs from 1995.

Originality is key within art. Music is art. Ergo, only original sounding metal bands are real. Goes for all genres. As time goes on, originality is harder to come by.
Not necessarily saying every unoriginal bands that "worship" other bands aren't good. Just stating the obvious, with fancy ass-talk.

[Sep 30,2010 4:36pm - Kadoog-a-go-go ""]
Hot damn.
"Thrash" to me has always been the same as the word "punk". It's a feeling, a vibe, an overall THING that really is hard to nail down, less so, I think, than grind or death metal or what-have-you.
Watchmaker was one of the thrashiest bands that ever lived, but they sounded nothing like __________ or ___________ from your favorite 2-year-span of "thrash".
That said, I am not a fan of a lot of the "pizza thrash" or "party thrash" or whatever, mostly because they do seem very hipster/scenester-ish, in that they all gotta have the right retro clothing and be seen in the right faded Maiden t-shirts when they go to/play shows for their equally "metal-chic" friends, who, as Jawshy said, are probably REALLY there for the free keg beer, on top of scoring scene points.
Spend 'em wisely, kids.
