If a band isn't based in Seattle or Portland, they have no business having their own line of coffee. loving Brits wouldn't know good coffee if it was dumped on them.

There's a ton of re-trash out there but the fad's dying out.

With clean vocals the only thing I can think of is

Edit: how clean of vocals do you want? Like Tom Araya kinda shouty but not really screaming or like some king diamond epic poo poo because there's always

The Italian thrashband Game Over's latest album Crimes against reality might be something you would enjoy.

It's from a couple pages ago, but I'm so excited. I'm just kind of disappointed their only CO show is Denver, since they're from Colorado. Something in the north, where at least Wunder is from, would be a much shorter drive for me.

I hope they do some of the stuff from the albums with the old vocalist. I haven't listened to the new album as much, but Gin is my weightlifting CD.

Lost Society have somwehat screamy vocals, they kinda straddle the fence between outright screaming and the shouty kinda thrash vocals.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT7cM-H-ky0

Angel of Sodom only have one album out so far, but that album was one of my favourites of last year. Pretty straightforward raspy thrash vocals with some slight growly bits here and there.

Do you guys like Babymetal?

Because today I learned that the reason you dislike them is, at least partially, that they are women of color.

http://noisey.vice.com/blog/babymetal-interview-2016

quote:

It also doesn’t hurt that Babymetal—three young, hard-working, talented women of color—are out there packing stadiums and selling boatloads of merchandise in a male-dominated industry that seems rattled by their very existence, as if their detractors are wholly unaware of metal’s long history of experimentation and genre mashing.

It's precisely what she is saying. She blames the rejection of this band on gender and race issues, instead of simply people rejecting the industrialized, pre packaged nature of the band.

I don't even remember how I got the red title. I'm Latin American, so I'm guessing I just internalized racism, señor.

I saw them during their Gods of War tour, and I wasn't very satisfied. The setlist only covered that album, so that was lame. I'll definitely try to catch them on their last tour.

If you think that's not a factor in the level of vitriol they receive then you've never interacted with metal fans online.

Oh no, I'm absolutely sure that there are metal fans that look down on female performers. What I'm saying is that the vitriol received by BabyMetal does not seem to come from that reason (at least not for the most part), but rather from their obvious "fake" nature. It's the same vitriol you would get if Justin Bieber decided to release a thrash metal album.

As for metal fans looking down on them for being Japanese, I seriously doubt that would be the case. I'm sure a similar band by all-white performers would get the same hatred.

It's a J-Pop band with a harder sound. The commercial nature of it is what stinks for me. Even that interview notes how many other staff people are around them at all times, supervising everything. The raw and spontaneous elements of metal are completely lost.

BabyMetal are like the Harlem globetrotters. You can like them, but you have to be aware of the fact that they're not an actual basketball team.
