As of late I’ve been getting back into the thrash classics. Old slayer, Metallica, exhorder, kreator,…

And I notice a thing that I miss with a lot of newer material is a certain degree of rawness. In production, execution,…

Something about those slight tempo variations that you just can’t program into a click track spontaneously gives it that extra bit of bite to me.

And even a certain amount of sloppiness in playing sometimes. If it’s not too much I find it a plus for some styles.

So if you know any bands or albums that really stand out to scratch that itch, please share.

Addendum: thx for the feedback everyone! Looks like I’ll be needing another usb drive.
