PowerSaint - Christian Thrash

I came across this Christian thrash band on Bandcamp and think they are worth checking out. Only two short songs available but this band has a ton of potential. I’m hearing some similarities to Testament.

Not bad, definitely potential but more speed metal than thrash imo and the songs are so short they barely develop.

I think they are AI generated when I listened.

That's what I assumed as well. Too much auto-tune on the vocals and a very processed sound. It sounded cool but I didn't think of it as a real band.

To me they sound more power metal than thrash.
Like others have said, they have potential.  
I have no idea what AI generated music sounds like so I will give them the benefit of the doubt.

Here is a release that says its AI generated and I hear a ton of similarities:

Linky

It's funny that so many AI generated power metal songs are modeled heavily after Sabaton.

Their music is totally generic and riffless, so it makes complete sense.

Perhaps Sabaton has been AI generated all along! Way ahead of their time! 

I only saw them live once in 2009 and, though that album Art of War was the beginning and end of my interest, man did they get the crowd going!

I saw them live recently opening for Judas Priest.  The crowd was definitely into it, and their music sucks.  Definitely constructed for Euro metal festivals and not for sitting down and actually listening to.

Sabaton is one of the few power metal bands I actually like and find moving at times.  They have recognizable songs, whereas most other power metal bands are generic and every song sounds the same.  Oh well.  I guess there's no accounting for what our ears hear. 

I also liked these Powersaint songs more than any other Christian power metal I've heard.  I didn't even now AI music was a thing yet!  Wow.  That's crazy.  I guess AI really is going to take over the creative world.  Fooled me!

Yep, definitely A.I.

I use A.I. to turn my lyrics in to songs.  It's definitely amazing what A.I. can do, although it's quite clear it's not as good as humans.

AI?! I used to write Christian thrash lyrics just like this! Around 1988. When I was 14...

I hear potential. But keyboard solos in music like this will never cut it.

Yes its AL indeed. I do like it there are more projects like this. Sancta Theosis for example and Deus Metallicus.

I just found this. Pretty awesome AI hair metal!
