THRASH METAL THEN VS. NOW feat.

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ย. 2024
- To represent old school thrash metal in this special installment of the Then vs. Now series, I am joined by the riff battle legend himself TheSuffocater! Defined by fast, aggressive rhythms, chunky guitar grooves, and yelled vocals, thrash metal started as a niche subgenre and eventually rose to mainstream popularity with the help of bands like Metallica and Megadeth. Now, modern thrash metal bands have 40 years of history to draw from - do they stand on shoulders of giants and push the genre forward, or are the best riffs from the past? You be the judge and let us know in the comments!

#ThrashMetal #Guitar #Riffs
Hey Thomas ! Thanks again for having me as the "old-school-guy". You pulled out some killer riffs !!
My pleasure to collab with one of my TH-cam inspirations! Great riffing 🤘
This is a much better project with two players....maybe then vs. now should be a collab thing going forward.
Noted! Maybe that can be arranged
Older thrash is way better 🤘🤘🤘
I find a strong Heavy Metal and Punk influence in old school Thrash, a certain Nu-metal and Metalcore influence in new school Thrash.
So true. It has noticeably evolved over the years, becoming more technical in some ways as well. I love both, by my heart will always be stuck in the punk-influenced thrash of the 80s when it comes to my playing style. 😁
Yeah, Thrash i know better than the new school is more inspired by heavy metal and hardcore
It has that certain swing feel almost, and another part is actually hearing just about every switch from one chord/note to the next. Even full out bands like Slayer and Exodus and Sodom have actually ear-aching tones, but the players are actually super talented being able to not allow so much dirt in their frantic playing
The only real newer thrash i listen is Hatchet (and Havok and Hexen, but they disbanded, sadly), and they have that new edge with less "standard" riffs, but still keep that old school vibe. Either way! THRASH4EVER
Groove Metal changed everything man
Theres still some hardcore influence & death metal influence is also pretty common. In a lot of the older stuff you can definitely hear where nu-metal & metalcore were influenced. Metalcore was so heavily influenced by thrash to begin with. Most of those 00s bands made thrash riffs mixed with more explicit metallic hardcore & often different combinations of pop-punk/emo/screamo/post-hardcore (and then some of them fucked it all up with emo/butt rock style vocals). God Forbid was my favorite metalcore and they were also like NWoAHM thrash. Bit different now as theres a lot of metalcore inspired by metalcore, and Meshuggah, often Tool, and nu-metal influence is almost omnipresent.
I could be wrong but if I had to guess, the bands making thrash today are probably not the ones who were big metalcore scene kids, they were prolly the metal nerds listening to punk/hardcore/crossover, old school thrash & death, groove metal and probably nu-metal.
Crossover thrash vs. metalcore would be a fun comparison.
I stay with Old School...but thats maybe because of my age...they are both great but the old school vibes give me something special that goes deeper 🤘
I agree. I love the riffs from both but thrash still has a groove and old school thrash to me has a better groove
They sound old though, the time's taking its toll on them clearly. New sound has this feeling of freshness brought by new techniques and tuning. It's like there's more air.
Everybody gangsta until Sepultura "Arise"
Being immediately destroyed by Sylosis afterwards.
@@Landekar 😂😂😂 you're funny, you make good jokes 👍🏻👍🏻
@@Landekar You really funny 😂😂😂
@@Landekar both is great
TheSuffocater's expression when he finished the Slayer riff. *mic drop | you been served*

Arise! That is some great shit right there. I love the technique on the new stuff. But the old just has some soul to it that can't be beat.
That deathwestern was awesome never heard of that before
Spiritworld are so good, they blend thrash with 90's metalcore/hardcore like Integrity, Ringworm and Arkangel
Enforced = favorite thrash band
This channel, the concepts and the music are all stellar!!🔥🤘💯
Having a guest was super cool! And great picks as always
Sylosis 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Awesome...even if I'm 43 and I'm definitively old schooled...and I think your playlist needed some Tankard...great job however...
The only win riff in modern thrash is the one from hellripper
anyway, i love this kind of content keep this going hoping for part 2!
Thanks! It doesn’t feature the suffocater, but I do have another thrash metal then vs. now video out from last year 😁
And sylosis
Damn didnt expect hellripper here.. nice stuff! great work
That was sick. Thanks for the modern pointers, and some throw back catch-up
This was really fun to watch! Now I have to learn some of these sick riffs.
Love seeing some Spiritworld!
Espectacular crossover!!! . Son los dos que sigo siempre , uno para escuchar lo nuevo y el otro para recordar por qué me gusta el metal. Muchas gracias!!! 😎🤘🏾
Im not a big thrash metal fan but you guys just killed it 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
This was a fun watch, the difference is obvious but both are still great on their own. Long live metal!
Love checking out the bands from these videos. That Sylosis riff at the end is so sick! 🤘🔥
What an amazing collaboration and thoughtful comparison, I loved the thematics and you guys are fantastic! Would love to see more, going right to the old vs new school video!
i had the pleasure of seeing enforced live in 2022, they absolutely fucked ripped. their riffing is so slayer inspired, it's great
Old school all day long and all night long... F*ck, I'm getting old
Holy fuck I love holy Moses! Who knew the German was gonna bring the heat with the German thrash bands!
Shark fin inlays on that orange jackson look dope af
this is epic.... yeah !
I need this vs in every metal genre...
Damn, the old school riffs are so much better its not even close. Other than HellRipper!
Nice, putting Hellripper in there.
Fuck yeah, absolutely live for these. You’ve introduced me to so much new music in a genre I adore that I cannot thank you enough
Hell yeah! Tight AF playing. These videos are great for discovering new bands 🤘
The newer stuff definitely has it's metal core and djent influences.
Great comparison video and special thanks for having that much german thrash in it! 🇩🇪🤘🏻
Great video! Glad to see Crisix made it into the compilation.
So, technicslly this is a conversation between a grandpa and his grandson. To me this means its not a competition but a great historical dialogue❤
Great vid & collab guys! Props for including Spiritworld
Old school wins by far though the last riff of the future seems to scratch the each. 😎🤘🤘🤘 Most excellent video. 👈
The collab we've all been waiting for.
Nice!! It's all good, but I grew up, started listening to metal in the 80's, so I definitely have to go with "then".
🤘🎸🥁🎶🙏
That good old Sepultura was the best thrash metal band I have ever listened to
DAMN! the guy do it near dark by holy moses
respect.
WOOOOH WHAT A COLLAB!!!!!
Under a pale grey sky we shall ARISE!
2:18 - 2:52 KILLER TRACK BY @EVILE 🤘🏽🔥
I recently discovered Enforced and am really digging some of their stuff!
This is a great channel. I even appreciate the looks you give each other like " is that al you got" great stuff and riffs, and like the different guitars on your channel
I'd add The Way is Narrow by Iron Age (even though that song isn't really new) and For the Horde by Exmortus, love that super fast technical intro riff.
Thrash will always rule 🔥🔥🔥
Some great picks there.
Enforced rules!
Old school 🤘🔥
Thank you for introducing me to Hellripper!!! I'ma go check them out RIGHT NOW!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great collab and nice riffs! 🤘
I fuckin' prefer the "then', but now is cool too. Very cool Jackson v. Is that the kvxmg?
Cheers from Portugal 🤘🍺🇵🇹
Nuclear Winter 🔥
As a fan of punk and hardcore, I tend to gravitate toward the older stuff as you can see that it is really influenced by that stuff but some newer stuff is still cool. I still prefer stuff like Power Trip (RIP Riley) who were obviously more influenced by the hardcore stuff if I'm gonna listen to newer thrash.
Enjoy the concept. Find it to be a bizarre choice of riffs though, especially from yesteryear. I guess you are going for obscure stuff.
THEN the Best🎉
Dude and Power Trip, Lamb of God, Overkill, Testament, Exodus, Assassin,etc...etc...?
We have modern thrash bands? Where have I been?
Thrash has been back for nearly 20 years now. All the old guard back to making bangers and young bands popping up all over the place.
Wow I'm stuck on what I remember from 90s. Will check out all those bands.
@@woodward_alan Here's a good list to get you started:
Evile
Havok
Warbringer
Power Trip
Lich King
Gama Bomb
Bonded By Blood
@@Neo-Midgaryes! Thanks
Bro check out the last two albums by Warbringer
Conclusion : old school Thrash Metal has better riffs (way more catchy, better written....). Thought, the two guitarists are excellent !!!
Great video!!! But I'm sorry, but i'm not sure if i hear much of a difference style wise? It all sounds sick but i'm not sure i would be able to differentiate...
Most of the 90s stuff required two functioning fingers at the fret. I know, I was there, I played stuff. I still like it.
Arise porraaa!!! Wow!!!
Wth I wasn't even subscribed.. well I know I am now.
I love me some Thrash.
The "new thrash" doesn't sound like thrash at all🤣 doesn't mean it sounds bad, but for me, it's not thrash at all, I stick with old school without a doubt
you've never actually listened to hellripper and enforced, have you? another metal boomer
Ahahaa awsome!!
🇵🇹🇵🇹
2 great content creators
Nervosa!!!!
Yeah spiritworld is underrated
Two brazilian bands, Nervosa and Sepultura!
I loved the crisix one, it was dope, gonna listen to them after watching this vid.
I'm a simple man
i hear sylosis,i like
The newer thrash has sick tone man! Which amp did you use to achieve that?
WHY NOT BOTH? Killer picks and playing from both of you, as always.
Nervosa is Death Metal... ABRAZOS
I love videos like this, because they instantly prove everyone living in the past who says that "there's no good music anymore" very wrong. There's plenty of good, modern metal out there; stop whining about the 1990s and go look for it.
Anyone who says there’s no good music anymore is crazy. But…. People listening to this kind of music as a movement that is def lost. The communal aspect of all this is lost.
>There's plenty of good, modern metal out there
If only it didn't require wasting HOURS on end to dig through endless procession of trash filled to brim with Slayer worship and horrible vocals to find those few bands that are at least above average.
Old, New? I just hear a lot of kickass riffs.
Very nice, need to check out this modern stuff.
Hell yeah!
enforced papa!
Old school rules!
1:52 halloween theme ? ;)
then much better, now is too cute.
Was Forbidden not Thrash? I heard at least one opportunity for them. There were others but...
Old school is mutch better:)
How about a Black Metal one?
Tornado of souls automatically gave the dub to old school
🤩
Top 10 Anime Crossovers
Old School songs so much better Then. The riffs a great on both though
how much of that is down to nostalgia and rose-tinted glasses rather than the actual melodical and technical composition. you tend to like things you grew up with
Damn you look like metal father and son
✅✅✅✅🔥🔥🔥🔥
What’s up! I recently came across one Russian thrash band called DAREDEVIL and their song ДАЛЬШЕ БУДЕТ ТОЛЬКО ХУЖЕ. It sounds kinda old school stuff 😊
I really recommend you to listen to it
Megadeth sounds much more modern, fresh, and smoother than any other band from a current stage. Also, the influence of black and death metal, of which I am not a fan, is very audible.
All the riffs in this video are awesome, and it's a great way to discover new songs or go back to old classics.
Still a lot of brilliant riffs and guitars parts in modern thrash!
IMO what sets a thrash song and band apart from the others were and still are the vocals. I feel like we don't get enough today. There is a number of new bands with killer guitars and good, sometimes great singers. Check out Mindtaker, Insanity Alert, Void Vator, Gama Bomb, Angelus Apatrida, Drowning in Blood, Vingador, Colony Drop...
Nonetheless I feel the majority are brought down by weak vocals and uninspiring melodies, which is a shame. I've listened to too many albums without a single memorable hook, just monotonous screams and growls, with bloated production, trying to hide the lack of an effective vocal line. It gets boring real fast.
Necrophiliac la mejor ... y el sonido actual me parece
Where is Exodus and Testament legendary thrash bands
Evile is an old band
