Anthrax is to Neurosis as D.R.I. is to ...?

Let's just agree for a moment that there is indeed a "thrash" spectrum. That being the case, what are the terminal points? Secondly, is Neurosis more like Anthrax or D.R.I.? I've nonchalantly picked Anthrax "Among the Living" over D.R.I. "Four of a Kind" in the past. Not that I could tell you how either of those tunes go. Back in reality: We all know that to even consider Neurosis in the same breath as Anthrax or D.R.I. is unthinkable. (Anthrax fans, let me have it.)

I have no way of answering Terry aside from agreeing that Neurosis (sedna) is pretty fuckin far away from Anthrax (mars) Heres a bold uneducated and highly biased opinion on what Thrash meant to me in like 9th grade: -Slayer -Death Angel -Suicidal Tendencies (s/t and Join the Army at least..) -D.R.I. (Have you heard 5 year plan on 'Crossover' or anything on 4 of a kind? Dated? yes... but one of the first marriages of hardcore and metal - my 16 yr old self thought they were Thrash atleast... side note: Mr. Bungle used to cover "I Don't Need Society" from the first LP me and Glumac severely overplayed in high school... I think I also remember something about Reaganomics killing me killing you LOL..) -Megadeth pre 1987 - Metallica pre 1984 -and yes, Anthrax.... Other Metal subgenres I have interest in: Grindcore (Napalm Death 'Scum' and Peel Sessions circa 1986-1988, God Flesh, Naked City "Torture Garden") Sci Fi / Prog / Cyber Metal (Im making this up probably so bear with me): Voivod (Dimension Hatross, etc) -Don't know too much about black metal or the church burners or the dying fetus / cradle of filth crowd. A lot of the fringe metal perspective I see is from the Rev. Aaron Pepelis, longtime host of WUNH's Return to the Pit [url]www.returntothepit.com[/url] check the rev's photo archive... this kid goes to more shows than anyone (not all metal either: Q and Not U Garrison, Tomahawk, Dalek, you name it...)

Dude, I have a Sedna t-shirt. Do we give Cave-In two planets? "...heart stops" is Pluto, "Jupiter" is, well, Jupiter?

You've got Sedna AND Neurosis shirts! Anyway, black metal tends to incorporate a little bit in the way of synth (like Cradle of Filth.) There's a little bit of crossover, too, with some of the spastic screamy punk stuff, too- mostly early-to-mid-90's stuff on Gravity and Old glory and Ebuillition.

this thread rules. metal rules. I guess I do agree with the sentiment that metal will be around for us all in between all the ebbing and flowing trends of the moment... I got to wear my Return to the Pit hoodie yesterday (before I went to work natch) while I took out the trash... It was soooo cold!!!!
