Hello. I love the Corroseum, and I've found many a great record through it. My personal kink is technothrash. I know that you probably don't have a favourable opinion, mainly because of the skater anthrax-y type of thrash connection? Anyway, that's my poison, I'm proud of it! I wanted to ask you if you've heard - or simply even heard of - any artists in this field besides the list below. Whether you thought them good or not is not the primary thing, I will judge for myself (that I missed out on Sieges Even's first PHENOMENAL record because some person told me 'not as good as anything else they've done' for 5 years is something I'm not willing to risk again).
> Aftermath
> Anacrusis (quasi)
> Annihilator (quasi, more technical thrash than technothrash)
> Annon Vin
> Artillery
> Believer
> Calhoun Conquer
> Civil Defiance (in a very strange way related to the genre)
> Confessor (quasi)
> Coroner
> Cranium (not the speed metal hell band)
> Deathrow (Deception Ignored is in my top 5)
> Depressive Age
> Equinox (demi)
> Flaming Anger (you'd like those. German and obscure)
> Forced Entry (demi)
> Garden Wall (quasi)
> Hexenhaus (demi)
> Invocator
> Kinetic Dissent
> Living Death (quasi)
> Loincloth (via Confessor, quasi)
> Megace
> Mekong Delta (the original technothrash band)
> Mordred (quasi... reaching... almost not at all. Via Equinox I guess?)
> Realm
> Rosicrucian
> Sieges Even
> Spastic Ink (quasi)
> Spiral Architect (quasi)
> Thought Industry
> Tourniquet
> Toxik
> Watchtower
> Zero Hour (quasi, and bad)

I ask because I found Spectral Incursion through your site, which I LOVED LOVED LOVED. techno-power and techno-proto-thrash or speed welcome too! Anything that is weird or strange but technically equipped is my sort of love, Voivod-influenced are okay, although usually they go towards the 'hey I can play strange chords with my guitar!' way instead of technothrash.
Thank you in advance.

after Dan's timely reply
I've unearthed a few ones I've missed like Arcane and Defiance, but I'm sure I'm still missing loads and loads! So what do you say? Will you help the nerdthrasher or should he grow some balls and listen to Hirax or something like most reasonable people?Again, I stress whether it's good or not is not the issue, I love a lot of records in the genre most people think are absolutely worthless (Xentrix come to mind...) so I will probably hunt down and at least listen to any recommendations.
I am not sure if stuff like Tension's 'Breaking Point' or stuff like Helstar counts, though it's certainly technically able... but what the hell, if Hexenhaus count, they do to. Bring it on!
