Oxford: Berg, 2007, . The songs usually use fast percussive beats and low-register guitar riffs, overlaid with Shred guitar, shredding-style lead guitar work.

Derived genres include crossover thrash, a fusion of thrash metal and hardcore punk. Th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
