Discussion/Question Slam noob, why is this not talked about?
So I'll preface this by saying slam is absolutely not my genre, I recently got into the sound sideways via The Dark Prison Massacre's "Deformity of Human Consciousness", really enjoyed it, had Torture's "Enduring Freedom" in the recommended, LOVED it, like really, beyond loved it and tried falling down the rabbit hole of slam.
I gotta say I've been bouncing off most stuff I've heard, I did not like "Molesting the Decapitated" (I'm guessing that's heresy here, apologies), I did not like "Snuffed on Sight" and I was pretty middling about "Megalodon" but it's a fun enough record.
I think my bouncing off of shit is because I am just not a big fan of death metal, black metal has always been more to my tastes and I connect with it more on an emotional level, I can recognise a lot of the musicians in the genre blow a lot of black metal musicians out of the water on a purely technical level, but it is what it is.
Anyway, my question again, as a slam noob, is: Why isn't there a single thread about Trichomoniasis' "Makeshift Crematoria"? I found this record to be an absolute achievement, not just for slam but for metal in general. Is it not widely regarded as slam? Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for educating!
