Thrash Hits bows out with final rant
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 1 June 2015
Rock and metal website Thrash Hits has gone on “indefinite hiatus”, which is bad news because Thrash Hits was great.
In a suitably grumpy farewell post last week, editors Raz Rauf and Hugh Platt put the decision down to various things, but boiled it down to the basic fact that “it’s become evident that we don’t have the time or resources the site needs to maintain our own internal standards, or to re-invent the site to fully cater for the way our audience consumes content in 2015”, as well as a lack of good enough writers to replace the contributors they’ve had poached by various rock magazines.
The second half of the post was then devoted to calling out some of the continued issues they perceive as holding back the rock and metal industry, before noting that “Jared Leto is still a terrible, terrible musician, and he remains the only person ever to threaten us with legal action”.
You should go and read the whole thing. And then read as much of the published material on the site as possible. And then kick a bin over, or something.
