Yeah, there are legitimate genre distinctions to be made. Crust punk is really an update of what was once called thrash, albeit with a D-beat emphasis a la Discharge. I hear more early Motorhead guitar harmonics than I do soloing, in the selections Magadh made, with the exception of the Werhmacht piece. I never liked those guys - saw them once with Slayer, in 1988. Portland never did speed metal well.

Slayer 1988, still touring on Reign in Blood? Ah, the good old days of slash metal! Yeah, I wasn't a big fan of the Werhmacht piece either, but I really dug the Discharge. Thanks for the introduction.

Yeah, it was a great show. My favorite Slayer LP is South of Heaven. If I remember correctly, there was a little bit of that record in the mix too.
