Heavy metal
Bastardous Bassist:
I'm not too familiar with thrash metal, but I listen to some Metallica, some Motorhead, a bunch of Megadeth (though, a bunch of their later stuff isn't really thrash), as much as I can of The Crown, but that's about all I know of thrash. There are numerous other people here who know a lot more about thrash than I.
Misereatur:
--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---I'm not a nazi. Jeez. And it's not as if Burzum is even nazi music, really. Varg is a nazi, but Burzum itself is probably only about as nationalistic as, say, Wagner. It's widely ackowledged Varg is a complete cunt (though I find him a somewhat more interesting cunt since I learned the majority of online Burzum interviews are fake. Still only interesting in the same way as, say, Stalin. I'd love to mix his personal accounts and the newspaper and police reports to make a film of the whole inner circle crap that didn't sensationalise or romanticise anything), but I simply find him an extremely good minimalist BM and dark/black ambient composer/musician, and some Burzum tracks (War, Ea, Lord of the Depths, Han Som Reiste, Dunkelheit, Tomhet) are just among my favourite ever. I simply dissosciate music and man. I can only listen to nazi shit if I can't hear it in the lyrics. I mean, I like me a bit of Nokturnal Mortum as well, but I simply had to delete 'Call of the Aryan Spirit' because shit like that is just awful. I mean, fair enough, loathe him, but I cannot more disagree on the music. At the very least, you have to acknowledge that his works are extremely seminal. I myself would count Burzum as a musical influence, and his mixing of ambient and even trance elements into the composition of raw black metal has spawned some great stuff. You wouldn't have Wyrd without Burzum, for example. Only thing is, of all my favourite bands, I would simply never buy a Burzum album or official Burzum merchandise. Which is kind of a pity because it's pretty much the only way to get Theodor Kittelsen t-shirts, but there you go.
At least if you don't like Burzum as Burzum, download Ewigkeit's cover of Ea, Lord of the Deeps (called 'Ea 2000: Out For the Count'). He totally takes the piss out of it with zany samples and pirate backing vocals mocking the lyrics, and yet still makes it awesome grim shit. I love it. But then, I practically worship Jim Fogarty and all his works as if he were a God, which I'm not convinced he isn't.

I never said that youre a nazi, nor have I said that you love nazi music.
I cant stand nazi artists because of their believes, no mattar how good their music is.
Burzum is nazi, therefor I cant stand him. I dont care if he's a major influence to other, non-nazi bands. I wont listen to his music.
Burzum even killed for his belives. One of the reasons he killed Euronymous is because he was a "Jew Lover" - Euronymous's pen-pal was the vocalist of the israeli death metal band Salem (Dead even wore their "Destruction Till Death" shirt in one of their photoshoots).
Anyway, I will download that cover, sounds iteresting.
I also heard of another band, American, that coverd the same song as "Ea, Lord Of Shit"
Kai:
On the subject of thrash metal: Totally some stuff you shoudl check out:
Testament - The Gathering. My personal Favorite of all of their albums, and one of my favorite thrash albums ever. And Alex Skolnick! Fuck YEAH! It's hardcore, it rocks out, And you need to buy it now.
Strapping Young Lad - City. I personally Like "Heavy as a Really Heavy thing" Better, but it's a good thrash album.
Stormtroopers of Death - Speak English or Die. Well, technically, I don't think they're generally called Thrash, they're close enough for me to totally require you to buy them.
Slayer - Reign in Blood - Okay, so they're washed up and shit-tastical now, and Kerry King is fucking retarded and I hate his solos, 80's Slayer was pretty damn Ace.
Motorhead - Ace of Spades. Generally their most widely loved album (I like Orgasmatron better, but go figure). totally badass.
Judas Priest - Painkiller. While not thrash, per say, totally get this anyways. <3 this album soooo much.
Exodus - Pleasures of the Flesh. Originally formed by Hammet (Until he left for Metallica. lameass). They kick some ass.
Anthrax - Persistance of Time. Alot of metalheads I know don't really like Anthrax for one reason or another. Those people are on drugs. They are fun.
EDIT: And I totally did not know Nokturnal Mortum were racist fucks. I don't have that much of them to tell, I guess.

Skolnick had already left the band waaaaay before the Gathering.
But get every Testament album, because they are essentially pre-sellout Metallica with the overall awesomeness factor multiplied by, like, 50.
Trollstormur:
okay Misereatur -- first of all his name is Varg Vikernez. please please stop calling him Burzum. It's like listening to Nargaroth's "The Day Burzum killed Mayhem".
Secondly, as khar said before, "the majority of online Burzum interviews are fake." so we can't say for certain that Varg killed Euronymous for being a "jew lover".
I admire Varg most because he had the presence of mind to distance himself immediately from the Odalism movement when he started it.
These guys are grim nekro and krieg all at the same time.
