Heavy Metal

I am a thrash fan.
Gama Bomb are an irish thrash outfit well worth checking out.
Their latest effort, tales from the grave in space, was available for free from Earache.com, not sure if it still is though.
Also Municipal Waste are pretty good, if not a tad mainstream.

And go buy Probot, its v good.

And 5 finger death punch are a shit slipknot

reading through your post I was yes, good, they still exist, yep, everyone should have probot, oh dear...phew.

I saw Gama Bomb at Hellfest last year, great fun
