Nice find! And I’d have to agree on all points lol. I find myself gravitating more towards crust punk after discovering so much more hardcore punk stuff, even genuinely love neo-crust. But that’s like within a few weeks/months ago; had I heard about this band sooner I would have been singing its praises to anyone with any love for punk or extreme metal!

I’m honestly really surprised more don’t talk of this particular group/album, but yea it really is something special.

Ha yea. I remember a friend I had growing up got tired of all the little nuances and subgenre lines and shit and was like “Isn’t this all just metal??” Which I get but at the same time, I more vehemently disagree with the older I get.

Ah the infamous Been Caught Buttering… lol, classic.

Oh I actually like this one quite a bit. But it seems to be more simply crossover thrash/groove metal?

Stenchcore is like gritty production proto-death with lots of hardcore punk, I think?? I mostly listed it cuz RYM had it under the genres, and it’s similar to other stuff under than genre descriptor, like Sacrilege, or Napalm Death’s first output(s)

Temu Eddie xD

Oh hell yea, love that community!

It was a tough choice picking one track to link, and I wanted to avoid just picking the opener as I feel 80% of the picks I do are openers xD.

I was literally gonna post something from Mayhemic’s 2019 EP when I got the itch to go back to Kreator for today’s upload lmao.

I’m glad it scratches somebody’s itch - to me it kinda makes me a bit more itchy. To be clear, I am definitely NOT a fan of this. Normally I add the stuff I post to my hugeass playlist, but I’m giving these dudes a miss lol.

I would probably draw the line similarly to how Anthrax is categorized. Essentially I’d call Lich King pure 2nd wave thrash metal, which happened to take a lot of inspiration from crossover and hardcore punk. They’re very similar to Municpal Waste, however, I’d call MW crossover thrash. So while Anthrax also took a lot of inspiration from the hardcore punk scene, especially the NYC scene, they still played pure thrash metal. Sorta similar situation to Power Trip too! Lol but they teeter just over the crossover line imo.

Tldr: in my opinion Lich King is pure thrash metal.

Imagine the “what-ifs” if Kreator continued down that road… Sadly we live in reality where money is a real thing. at least that’s my best guess as to why they kept changing up their sound, or even perhaps they felt they explored all of the… Extreme Agression (😉) out of it.

It’s really amazing how the fans of Pleasure to Kill in one country could spin off their own tangent and create so much new stuff that’s nearly as great lol.

Ah, I was not entirely aware of this, and appreciate you for this knowledge. This is disappointing as I thought I just found some more great extreme music but alas. It’s so tiring to remain vigilant in the consumption of random media to avoid every single little thing that could possibly be something shitty. Like we’re fighting against bogey-men. I’ll remove the links to their stuff in an attempt to stymie any particular progression right-ways.

Edit: I’m putting back the links and my praise. Symbols are similar but not nazi shit thankfully.

Suspect all you want, they seem to be apolitical. Bands sometimes use symbols they create to represent them:

Can’t derive any more meaning from it unless you give meaning to it specifically.

While the name is indeed fucking awful, the band itself promotes not persecuting anyone, and if anything sometimes goes by the name “Beermacht” and mostly deny political intent.

Yes I’m from the middle east

Oh jeez, I do hope you remain safe over there as well! Thanks for being apart of the community and existing!

Legit some of the best art is just album art for music. Check out !doommetal@lemmy.world sometime for a few more! Also that one album art sharing community I forget what it’s called lol. I guess just !albumartporn@lemmy.world or !AlbumArtworkHeaven@lemmy.world

Haven’t though about Flotsam & Jetsam for a minute, but you’re right - no wonder it was sounding a tad familiar lol.
