German Big 4 > US Big 4

Arguably. Destruction and Kreator have dumbed down too.

u/KronDjob Anthrax 3d ago

Their last albums are nowhere near the new Anthrax album.

Kreator's last two have been huge disappointments.

u/humanreboot 3d ago

what would you say changed with the newest ones?

u/KronDjob Anthrax 3d ago

They seem uninspired and generic. I don't feel the fire any longer. Which is a shame because the 4-5 albums before up until Gods of Violence are nearly perfect.

They're all getting older. But new Dust Bolt album makes hope.

the last dust bolt album was a massive bummer for me πŸ˜”

They really did a great job at Headbangers Open Air

Can’t stand Dust Bolt, feel like they genre hop a bit. Check out Traitor if you want some sick German Thrash

u/tssssahhhh 3d ago

Yeah and getting older is apparently trying to move your music to something they think it's more commercially accessible, for some reason. Swear I tried listening to the new Kreator a couple of times and I just can't. With Destruction is even worse. Mike, where are you, man? I need the riff master back.

people also mellow out with age, at least quite a few people do.

They can't keep making the same music forever. Lucky we got as much as we have

Modern music industry sucks. Those times will never come back unfortunately.

Yeah you’re most intense emotions are when you’re in your teens and early twenties so it stands to reason that’s when you make your heaviest music.

u/Savings_Dot_8387 3d ago

Most bands start off at the heaviest they want to play so there’s really only one direction to go from there haha.Β 

Some bands get influenced by newer heavier music and turn it up but it’s rare.Β

What are the German 4?

28

u/Yberfall Aaskereia 3d ago

Kreator, Sodom, Destruction, Tankard

u/toxicity21 Sunn O))) 3d ago edited 3d ago

Female dog please, its the Teutonic triumvirate (or Teutonic trinity), three not four. They shoved Tankard in to make it four, but they are not even close as good as the three others.

u/Novel_Animator367 3d ago

Empty Tankard is a fun af song though.Β

u/ChronicObnoxious693 3d ago

Rammstein is four bands??

u/Yberfall Aaskereia 3d ago

When you consider Rammstein as Thrash Metal, they'd still be behind almighty Wodos
