The Golden Age of Metal

I don't know where one goes to get good metal these days, but the genre seems to be in a gavel-voiced thrash rut. Not that I can't appreciate both, it just seems there's not much else.
As a child I was force fed Conway Twitty and George Jones, so while they were playing on the living room stereo console, I was in my room...evolving....
The Possum Torture Device
It all began here at about age 5. Always looking for a faster beat, a hotter riff, a slicker solo

then to this solo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3IFVQhTqq4
tighter, more sour harmonies

frenetic, more chaotic syncopation. I still can't get from 1:00 to 1:30 without an O.

more and more speed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=md3B3I7Nmvw
more and more chaos...meter and time changes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTuKKCKNlB0
Till we end up with Cattle Decapitation and Forced Gender Reassignment. But is it really better than the good old days from say 80-90? And where do we go from here?

like that, but I don't think they were on legs. Probably designed to sit on either side of a system like that.

Unfortunately the Star Wars writers weren't referencing the band, but an old movie character Commando Cody.

One show was fantastic, the other show was crippled by horrific sound engineering and both the band and the audience were frustrated.
