Back in the 1980s thrasher music - a hybrid of punk and metal listened to by skateboarders - was big. In the 2000s, Birth A.D. has resurrected this style not through retro-nostalgia but by picking it up where it left off and taking it further.
Thrash grew up from simple short and fast punk songs with metal riffs and reached its peak with S.O.D.'s Speak English or Die and D.R.I.'s Crossover. These albums packed the intensity of the blur-speed earlier work into lengthier songs with more emotional depth and variation.
