Slam death metal, often referred to simply as "slam," is a subgenre of death metal known for its guttural vocals, downtuned guitars, and a relentless emphasis on groove-laden, mosh-pit-inciting breakdowns. It eschews the genre's typical focus on complex song structures and blistering solos in favor of a more direct sonic assault characterized by chugging riffs and a percussively brutal approach to drumming. The lyrical themes often delve into the macabre and grotesque, complementing the music's sheer heaviness. The sound is typically dense, with production favoring low-end frequencies, creating a visceral and enveloping listening experience. Bands like Malodorous and Guttural Secrete encapsulate the genre's penchant for technicality meshed with simplicity, crafting an atmosphere that's as barbarically cathartic as it is musically unrelenting.
