Misery Signals are Winds of Plague(Bleeding Through rip offs) are horrible. They will only attract a bunch of scenester, Arm swinging pussies. Not your thrash metal crowd.

Arsis and Darkest hour, Drop off this tour and do your own thing PLEASE!!!!

Where’s the thrash?

None of this is even influenced by thrash. Just a bunch of faggots thinking they can play music.

Tecky = faggot. Enough said there.

And also, if we really want to get technical here, while none of these bands are thrash bands per se, most of them have a melodeath/hardcore influence (aka metalcore). Most melodeath and modern hardcore has a thrash influence whether all you purists want to believe it or not. So while they might not be thrash bands, the thrash influence is present in their music. Very few true thrash bands exist these days anyway.

Would you really expect a tour consisting of Kreator, Sodom, Testament, Destruction, Dark Angel, Forbidden, Heathen, and Nuclear Assault with Slayer as the special headliner? Get real.
