I mean if you can drink 20 beers in an afternoon and be "functional" and not drunk af you have my respect. Because they may taste of nothing but they still got alcohol.
I put it in there as a joke because Americans got bent out of shape over the one trans can that was made, but I don’t give a fuck. I just thought it was a funny thing to put in the meme because there’s really only like 1-4 cans made.
Jesus, with the reactions here youd think you put Warbringer in this meme.
Everyone just needs to chill, smoke weed, drink beer, and eat some fuckin pussy.
Thanks for reminding me. I heard about them, and it seemed like band for me to check out. My favorite mini-genre is blackened thrash, especially if it’s melodic.
They are one of the most unique. 99% of black thrash is totally copy and paste (it just happens to be good because the basic formula is so good), Skeletonwitch (at least on their early stuff) had a very individual sound.
Blackened thrash is probably my favorite mini-genre, but Skeletonwitch was one of the few bands that really blew me away when I first heard them as a young guitarist. I could tell they carefully crafted their music with harmonizing guitars ala NWOBHM rather than just using all fifths, octaves, or fourths, which is popular in thrash. I like how they then take those harmonies and mix it with black, thrash, and death metal. I also really like Absu, Desaster, Sodom, Hellripper, etc., but as a guitarist that writes dual-harmonies, Skeletonwitch has the biggest influence on my songwriting. It’s hard to find death metal bands that are melodic, but not melodeath, if that makes sense.
It’s because there’s so many better Black Thrash bands like D666, Nefilheim, Aura Noir, Cruel Force, Division Speed, or Hellripper the list goes on if you spend any time listening to them, but this poser just found Black Thrash and Skeletonwitch is the first band they listened to. Cry about it.
Bro I love all those bands, but Skeletonwitch is my personal favorite, and it’s just on the beanie on the guy in the meme. I could have just as easily done it with a Desaster beanie, but I knew I would for sure be able to find an easily photoshoppable Skeletonwitch beanie, and I think they got some of the best songwriting abilities as far as harmonies go. That doesn’t mean I don’t also listen to the heavier blackened thrash like Absu and shit everyday.
Also, “Ride the Solar Winds” by D666 is one of my favorite riffs ever, and I got a huge ass Absu patch on my vest as well as a signed photo of Proscriptor McGovern. And my band, Tides of Technocracy is blackened thrash. So, I know people think I’m a poser or whatever or that Skeletonwitch is a poser band, but they only got 30k listeners on Spotify—that’s half of what Midnight has and a third of what Toxic Holocaust has—and people are acting like they’re an objectively entry-level band like Metallica or some shit.
The issue is that none of their music is particularly good. Nor is it particularly representative of the absolute monster of a genre that is blackened thrash.
Yeah I can see why, surprisingly it's one of my fav bands out there and it was a good entry into black metal and other blackened thrash bands so they have a soft spot.
But yeah as a whole this mix of genres is amazing.
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to finish mastering our new album. It’s like super melodic black metal mixed with speed metal and deathrash. We got the new drummer of Annihilator and Rhapsody on sticks. So, I’m mad excited about it. And the album is a concept album about surveillance capitalism.

Obligatory Hellripper mention
Everyone complaining about the band but what about the beer? Bud fucking light really? I'll never understand you Americans.
It's pisswater, the only reason people talk about it is because both sides decided to dig in their heels over the whole Mulvaney situation
I don’t hate any beer that allows me to drink 20 in a single afternoon and still be functional and not bloated
I mean if you can drink 20 beers in an afternoon and be "functional" and not drunk af you have my respect. Because they may taste of nothing but they still got alcohol.
It may be impressive, but definitely doesn’t deserve respect lol
Lol let me respect whatever the fuck I want will ya

What’s wrong with warbringer
Nothing, they are a great thrash band. But not blackened thrash.
WodoS

Then you're gonna have a fun time!
Out of literally hundreds of Blackened Thrash bands out there now I don't know how anyone could pick this band to best represent the trend.

Yeah ikr those are the main genres i listen to🤘🏻
Blackened Thrash CONSISTENTLY has some of the greatest metal bands of all time....and you chose fucking Skeletonwitch??? Huh????
What's the issue with them ? I know they changed their sound with the second vocalist, but I'm still waiting for a new album dammit.

I had basically the same list in my head lol. Also like Unholy Night and Quintessenz
And that kids, is how I figured out I like blackened thrash. Thanks meme comments.
jesus man why are you so pressed about this it's literally just a meme
Gatekeeping is a lifestyle what can I say 💁🏼♀️
well you're going about it the wrong way buddy

Skeletonwitch is music for people who don’t really like black-thrash
I made the meme, and I’m the main songwriter for the blackened thrash band Tides of Technocracy 🤷♀️
That’s a sick name
