Place to post and discuss THRASH METAL!
RULES (MUST READ):
- Please keep things relevant to thrash (death thrash, blackened thrash, crossover, speed metal etc. are permitted). While we understand it is subjective, if a moderator believes a song to stray too far from thrash, it will likely be locked. Please do not take this personally. Repeat offenders may see posts removed.
- Please search before posting a song, do not repeat posts.
- Friendly debate is encouraged.
- When posting a song use the format of "Band - Song [FFO: band1, band2]". This just helps keep things uniform. The "FFO" (For Fans Of) section is optional. It is for lesser known bands. (Stole this idea from the Death Metal community).
- No racist, sexist, blah blah blah... you get the idea. This is not the place to discuss sensitive matters.
- No NSFW content (apart from songs/album covers. If they do include NSFW content, please mark the posts as such).
- Post in English only (obviously you can post songs in different languages).
- But most of all have fun XD.

No problem, I really like the Cerebral Rot comparison, structurally and thematically they're very similar. I think Stenched shows what just changing the production to make it fuzzier and more malodorous can achieve. A lot of people usually go for the low hanging fruit of just comparing Skeletal Remains to Death/Obituary, or any other Florida Death Metal group. This can get a bit silly because they're very obviously gesturing towards a lot of euro/swe-death constantly, it's part of what makes them so enjoyable. Thanks for admitting Bolt Thrower isn't your cup of tea, I'm more than a bit tired of Bolt Thrower circlejerking you see online, and I'm saying that as a huge fan of theirs. The main reason I compare them is mostly because I feel like they both put a premium on rhythm in their song structure, and they both have a long, very consistent discography that doesn't change a lot from album to album.
The fact that you can spend countless hours listening to, and seeking out new metal, and still have enormous gaps in your listening history, is part of what I love so much about metal as a whole. It always feels like there is more out there to find, you honestly feel like you could find your new favorite band at any moment.
(Also thanks for the solstice recommendation, these guys have such an awesome punk-thrash sound with some legit death metal-ism that fit PERFECTLY.)
