I've done a bit of snooping around and found some good websites that list gigs. So hopefully when I have time, I can head out and check out the local bands.

hi guys, new to this forum here.

I'm trying to get a KREATOR t-shirt from their gig in KL a couple of years back, and also any SEARCH concert shirts the more vintage the better.

if u have one, or know someplace i can get concert t-shirts pls msg or email me! Many thanks!!

Acoustic - PERTAMA COMPLEX should have this kind of shirt...

When i redecorated my house, i threw all my old thrash metal cassettes into the trash with heavy hearted. Sepultura, Death, Slayer, Sodom, Napalm Death, Destrcution to name few.

Now just watch their concert on youtube. Funny to think on those days i only wear those group printed black tshirt every where i go including to lecture hall.

One of my all time favorite album

i am still havin the same 'issue'. i only wear black or bands t shirts (except in the office of cuz!)

I have a question. Wud A7X be considered as Metal?

They started as your run of the mill metalcore band.

From the recent stuff I've heard, they seem to flirt between hard rock and power ballads but throw in metal riffs and other influences.

why Pantera considered as groove metal? Which part of the songs that are groovy?

yeah go A7X, their songs are just great!!! one of my favorite band...
i love most of their songs, the lyrics are deep, not just some trashy words to fit into the melody....

and another one is epica - a dutch symphonic metal, love it too, u guys heard of this band? try listen to the phantom agony, other songs are also nice

We're not talking groove like disco or something that makes you want to dance, haha. It has a certain groove to it. It's not super fast like thrash riffs, not fast and complex like death metal riffs. Slower and heavy.

where can i find the whole Pantera discography in KL?

Well, as far as British bands go, I've been listening to a lot of Electric Wizard, and God is an astronaut (ok, technically not British since they're Irish) recently.

Other than that it's been a real mish mash, I've been listening to the latest Burzum album and Sad Legend from Korea, who I think are amazing.

Who are your favorites at the moment?

My favourite is Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Exodus and lots of them are American thrash metal band. Recent;y i start digging Pantera and Joe Satriani.

Btwm this is good sites of obscure/underground/hidden gem metal band: http://thenewreview.net/tag/free

Cool. thanks for the link. Will give it a look around.

I enjoy thrash as well, all those bands you mentioned are awesome, but overall I much prefer thrash's heavier cousin, death metal.

death metal is too heavy for me. And the musical structure are complex too, thus make it sound less catchy to my ears than thrash metal.

God is an astronaut is awesome dude!! Thanks!

for me thrash is more difficult.. death metal have melody but thrassh is like cha cha cha cha well.. thrash.. cant understand at all

Maybe you can try bands like - Red Sparowes, 65 days of static, Mono and the ever popular Explosions in the sky.

One of my favorite. Tides - The Invisible.

nice..thanks

EPICA - The Classical Conspiracy i listen the most!!!!
