50% Stoner metal, 30% heavy metal, 20% thrash, these guys from California are another of my recent collection from my sludge metal journey. Let me know if all this has been too same-y, I can post something different!
EDIT: shit I linked the wrong track lol, fixed now.
Definitely not too samey! Loving the super interesting stuff. These doom-thrash (oh, the irony) fusions are great stuff. As long as you've got more to share I'm all ears! EDIT: the hardest part is choosing which playlist to add this to :rofl:.
This kicks some serious ass, great find I'd never even heard of these guys. I've really been enjoying seeing these bands that do something interesting with thrash, please keep sharing. Any rate, cool to see these guys share a guitarist with Necrot, which is also one of the more fun Old School Death Metal acts that have cropped up lately.
Hell yea, glad you've been enjoying it. I love finding nice surprises out on the fringes of thrash, it's such a malleable subgenre. Has been so rewarding these past months lol.
For a long time I had an impression of Thrash as "fun, but staid"(Not throwing shade, I'm a basic ass OSDM plebe.), but these posts really have shown me that "actually yeah there's a lot of vibrancy and fun melding going on here".
Yeah it's a lot more diverse than it appears on the surface. A lot of people, myself included when I was starting out, listen to the big 4 or all the popular bands and assume its all the same. Look a few levels deeper and you will find a variety of musical styles, vocal styles and super interesting stuff like fusion genres. That said, I'm a sucker for the classics too ;D. I would have to say that thrash is one of the most diverse genres of metal, though I am slightly biased haha. Btw, thanks for contributing to the community! 🤘
The sad truth is there's a larger number of bands doing exactly that - the same thing over and over and over without evolving or changing. I literally have to go out of my way to find these gems to my daily show-n-tells. It's really unfortunate as there is a great value worth having, and these unique bands all deserve a chance at success. But alas, the Fediverse is very small and this platform here is even smaller, (though it is growing somewhat!).
Just out of curiosity, how did you stumble across this community? Also got some obscure OSDM bands you feel worth sharing? I'm an avid fan of all forms of extreme metal but my focus is definitely thrash lol.
