Veteran Member

Veteran Member

Though I've just checked MW's site and they're touring the US during the slayer tour. Where did you hear they're touring with slayer?

Ooer... its going about on Facebook.

Yeah, nothing's been confirmed by the looks of things. I got dead excited about this as well haha I've never seen Municipal Waste, or Slayer so it would have been awesome..

Oh well, we'll see what happens with the support. They'll have to announce something soon.

Minister Bonesaw · Senior Member

I think MW are gonna pull out of a certain tour for this to happen.

Matt Demon · Senior Member

I wouldnt say no to touring with Slayer if asked... lol

But I dunno if I can afford this. Theres a few gigs I'd RATHER go to.

It's from a comment made on Earache's blogspot

Is the Thrash Bubble about to burst?

Question: Now that the thrash bubble is over inflated and on near explosion im wondering what bands do you feel will survive the bubble burst? Personally my money is on two british bands one that earache signed and one that earache nearly signed.

My belief is that the more 80s deritive bands like municipal waste and gamma bomb will struggle after the genre bubble has popped, however i see evile and sylosis as being the bands that survive the drop off in interest. the reason for this is because both bands seem to have taken influence from other genres and already intergrated it into their styles, sylosis for example have a heavy influence of chuck from death and devin townsendand also evile have taken more of a modern metal approach on their last record.
Im curious as to where you think the new wave of thrash will be after the bubble burst? From:

Answer: Dude I think you are a bit premature to write off an entire new scene so soon - the original Thrash bands have been going for 25 years so far,while the new set of thrash bands have only been recording for a mere 2-3 years so far,so I don't think Municipal Waste or Gama Bomb will be hanging up their white hi-tops just yet.

SLAYER just called Municipal Waste to have them as support on their entire European tour during November and December, so its not exactly doom and gloom.I guess the new thrash bubble is just about to get a whole lot bigger.

Sylosis is a great band and we tried to sign them after the first EP on In at The Deep end records.They were a Death Metal band back then, with an exceptionally talented guitarist in their ranks.Its been convenient for their label Nuclear Blast to label them as a thrash band, but they dont play Thrash in my opinion.

I ought to point out that none of the bands we deal with worry too much wether there is a bubble or not, they simply play the music they enjoy, and if fans like it then great, if not, thats fine too.

Its worth noting, this new Thrash scene happened very much without the permission of anyone in the media,( exception being Metal Hammer magazine).

Some bands are making efforts to move on- ie be more original than simply ape-ing and channeling tried and tested 80s vibes- Muni went more hardcore punky on the new one, and Evile developed a heavier, more complex thrash - a "modern metal approach" as you correcly describe it

Thrash is getting bigger mostly because its a refreshing change for fans to hear bands play proper-sounding meaty metal, with solos and vocals.No growls, no symphonic parts.

Obviously I want this to happen and it would be very good for MW for their European market, but how pissed off would you be if you were planning on seeing them in their home country, only for them to **** you off and piss off to another (better :P ) continent?
I really want this to happen, but I really think that they shouldn't do it. Slayer were probably just asking whether MW were available, not asking them to abandon their tour commitments to support them.

Podgie · Senior Member

If that's the case then MM may well abandon their tour in the US in order to jump on the Slayer tour, regardless of Slayer's expectations. We'll just have to wait and see.

I think MW would be great support on this tour, I can imagine the majority of Slayer fans would enjoy MW, especially in a small venue. Actually, nah, we all know that's bull****. Any band who supports Slayer are probably going to get Slayer chanted at them...

Matt Demon · Senior Member

Apparently Megadeth also playing on the tour.

Veteran Member

Source?!?!?!??!??!?!?!?
You mean they're continuing on the Canada/Australia thing?
Please don't make me wet myself without good reason, I beg of you...

Veteran Member

sorry for the 2nd double post, but 'deth are playing the US with Machine Head during this tour.

Podgie · Senior Member

If Megadeth end up playing this tour it will make me the happiest man in the entire world. (I bought my ticket today)

EDIT - I just checked and Megadeth have US dates booked which would clash with Slayer's UK shows... So I doubt Megadeth will be the support, but we can hope :P

Oh my bad. Someone said to me it was Megadeth. Possible they had their sources misread or whatever.

But I don't know right now whether I will go. Shall see nearer the date. Would be nice to go. (Slayer are one of my fave bands).

Podgie · Senior Member

I'm beginning to think they're going to tour without any support at all... Which would actually be pretty cool.

Veteran Member

It would be cool, but when Metallica did that at the dome last september the wait was just unbearable as they still just played their standard 2 hours. Support acts kill the time nicely, so unless Slayer play for 2+ hours I want a support.
But if they don't have a support I'm thinking there's a high chance of them doing Reign In Blood again - they've done it a few times recently - which would probably turn me into some kind of mental patient.

They'll probably end up having Trigger The Bloodshed and Annotations Of An Autopsy supporting them. They're on every other fucking tour at the moment!

Podgie · Senior Member

Oh god, no.

I'd rather have Machine Head.

Minister Bonesaw · Senior Member

Now now, i know you dont mean that!
