Those of you with a Gallic tongue might have noted that the title means, “French for one night,” but fear not, San Francisco’s biggest thrashers haven’t gone and bought four berets, four strings of garlic and four navy/white stripey shirts – they’re just releasing a live DVD and you can win one right here. AMAZING.Filmed [...]

Swallow The SunNew MoonSpinefarm Records09 November 2009by Hugh PlattI guess you could say that Swallow The Sun have bad timing. Putting out their new album just a week after Katatonia dropped Night Is The New Day – an album that surely is going to be bothering many critics’ “Best of ’09″ lists – meant that [...]

From: Shropshire, UKSounds like: Morbid Angel, Kreator, AcheronWebsite: www.MySpace.com/ArceyeUKThrash Hits verdict: We heard about Arceye from a compadre we met at Bloodstock Open Air this year. We’re always partial to a bit of Thrash/Death action, so our next stop was to get their vocalist, Al Llewellyn, to go through our Future Hits treatment.—–How did you [...]

We just had a fucking well-shit weekend – so can anyone think of a better way to get this week off to a (hopefully) better start than by blasting our brains out with some Gay For Johnny Depp? No, didn’t think so.Watch the video for ‘Hey Fucked Up! (Punk Rock Can’t Exist In Countries With [...]

Where were you on the night before the dawn of the New Millennium? Jon Kerr was getting a pit going in Jilly’s Rockworld, Manchester. We’ve asked him to summarise the ten years since then in all things metal in a handy A to ZSlayerNo Slayer, no thrash. Right? Following their four classic ’80s albums, Slayer’s [...]

Japanese VoyeursFrom: London, UKSounds like: Daisy Chainsaw, Babes In Toyland, KyussWebsite: www.MySpace.com/JapaneseVoyeursThrash Hits verdict: The grunge revival is alive and kicking right here in the UK of A and Japanese Voyeurs are most definitely one of the hottest frontrunners. Take some snarling/fuzzy ’90s guitars, add a superhot, slightly ditzy-sounding but still very, very angry frontw.

The Betrayed, the long-awaited fourth album from Lostprophets is all set to be released on 18 January 2010 through Visible Noise and, judging by recent single ‘It’s Not The End of the World But I Can See It From Here’, it’s going to be alright.

Dream Theater have made a behind-the-scenes type video for ‘Wither’, the latest track to be lifted from their rather awesome recent album, Black Clouds & Silver Linings.

Hey there metal f*ckers! Another blog for another month, and yet I find myself writing it with a similar hangover. October was a somewhat quiet month for Atlanta shows, but there was really just one that I was worried about: the almighty Metallica.If you don’t know, I am a HUGE Metallica fan. I don’t care [...]

All I’d been thinking about since Bonfire Night was seeing Alice In Chains live in London. They’re the grunge band for metallers. They’re the band with some of the most tortured lyrics in the history of rock n’ roll. Even without Layne Staley’s genius, they are Alice In Chains. This is one of my favourite [...]

We [...]

We’ve feeling a bit grunge-y at Thrash Hits right now. That’s partially because we spent most of last week repeat-watching Nirvana: Live at Reading, and that last night we saw Alice In Chains tear it up in North London. But also because we’ve just seen the video ‘Mesmerising Fingers’, a tripped-out slice of neo-grunge from [...]

WeezerRaditudeGeffen Records02 November 2009by Luke MortonIt was only last year when that Weezer released their sixth studio- and third eponymous album (dubbed The Red Album by fans and critics alike), but now they’re back with Raditude, the album Rivers Cuomo should never have written.Maybe Weezer are trying to maintain their resurgent popularity (thanks the kids [...]

Metalcore, Deathcore, anything-you-want-to-call-it-core: is there anything metal fans like to do more than bitch over which particular sub-genre of metal a band “belongs” to? We bet plenty that every band on The Hard Knock Life Tour is bloody well sick of hearing the arguments.We don’t really care what genre-pigeonhole you want to stuff the bands [...]

There’s nothing we like better here at Thrash Hits than celebrating a British success story – and that’s exactly why we’ve dedicated this week’s Sunday Spotify Slaylist to Visible Noise. For the last decade, the leading indie label has been at the forefront of giving Brit-talent their first and second steps up the ladder.There are [...]
