> Kind related, but I love early thrash metal. Metal birthed one of the greatest lo-fi genres: black metal. After hearing early Marduk, Mayhen, Emperor, Burzum, Darkthrone I was hooked. It was all done on shoe string budgets: Cheap second hand guitar, crappy amp, distortion pedal, drum machine, maybe toss in a keyboard. Then record the mess on an even crappier cassette recorder. The sound can be described as the guy drunkenly dropped his demo tape in the toilet, accidentally pissed on it, then tried salvaging it by dubbing the piss soaked tape to yet another piss soaked tape. The music is minimal with repetition being a theme and many bands were one or two guys recording in their bedrooms or someones basement. All complete crap and I absolutely love it along with all the weird sub genres and fusions it spawned. The synths in black metal even spawned its own genre: dungeon synth.
