I don't mean mainstream shit for masses. Just pure, classical 80-90s like Kreator, Destruction, Sepultura, Slayer, Metallica...
Of course there are death / thrash metal fans here. I occasionally listen to Kreator, Slayer, Megadeth from the Thrash side, Death metal side, well. Death, Nile and Morbid Angel. Also, my artist of the week: Between The Buried And Me. Their song Obfuscation is very good, one of my current favorites.
Between The Buried And Me
Metallica stuff.
Why of course! Old Metallica is still rather good, I wouldn't had posted about Metalllica mainstream bla bla bla unless you would've mentioned the old stuff. Kill 'em All has a lot of good and catchy tracks.
Also, I didn't understand your point about BTBAM, could you explain it a bit more?
What more to explain? Untruth, mainstream "metal". It don't have soul as sincerity true metal. I checked one song, I think no more needed.
Also, define "true metal".
Between the Buried and Me hasn't really achieved any mainstream success. Do you even know the meaning of this term? Also, define "true metal".
