No one wants to admit it, but thrash fits into transitional times because it skips all the politics, religion, and philosophy in order to focus on the lived experience of marginalized outsiders (skateboarders).
Thrash stole our souls because it used metal riffology in the context of ultra-fast punk songs for people who did not have time to belabor the details but wanted a detour straight into the heart of the matter. Fast riffs, short songs, and unique song structures made it stand out.
Subversion Terror, spawn of longtime Cryptic Slaughter guitarist Les Evans, spins out songs with unique intros, riff-chorus-turnaround pairings, and song structures, capturing the idea that underneath the chrome is decay but in the decay ferments the path to new life.
Just fist thrash! The solution to all our problemz…
Blasphemer against nature the Christ rises
We the sodomizers gather in forests
He speaks of all the symbol comprises
Roman soldiers gather, he will never rest
Fist Christ, rape Christ, deny Christ
Loyalty to the Arab god is his only price
Deny the liar Christ, mock him, rape his ass
The lies of Jehovah offer only morass
