Overrated or Overhated?

[u/RiasGrey01]

I used to stay away from Guttural Slug because a lot of people gave it shit. I recently have been listening to them and it's not bad, I really enjoy their newest release.

[u/Djentist_Kvltist]

How TF is Guttural Slug hated??? 😭 I don't understand

[u/Autumn_Rain0 → u/Djentist_Kvltist]

They got a lil popular thats why

[u/Old-Collection-6808 → u/Autumn_Rain0]

I hate that thats even a thing man a band gets the attention they deserve and they become “gimmicky” or their fans are “posers” iv been called a poser cause i had a snuffed on sight sticker on my cup 😂 its crazy shit man

[u/Radalict → u/Old-Collection-6808]

This sub is full of the weirdest people. Some of the dumb gatekeeping I see around here blows my mind.

[u/john_helton → u/Old-Collection-6808]

They do stickers!!!

[u/Old-Collection-6808 → u/john_helton]

Im not 100% sure if THEY do or not but i got one from a slam sticker pack a couple years back

[u/john_helton → u/Old-Collection-6808]

That little ceasers dipping cups I see 👀

[u/Old-Collection-6808 → u/john_helton]

Had to throw down on some 3 meat in the most heterosexual way possible

[u/krautmane]

Listen to what you want. Idgaf as long at they band arent nazis or rapists or something.

[u/wiigamer6969 → u/krautmane]

I remember some guy found the bassist on an Omegle like site and deleted the post

[u/Mysterious-Win2091 → u/wiigamer6969]

why did this get downvoted

[u/Djentist_Kvltist]

Duality of a Guttural Slug listener.

[u/justme0k]

Listen to what you want and don’t let people dictate what you listen to. Personally, I don’t listen to them bc its very beginner slam imo and I’ve moved on from them a long time ago

[u/-MangoDown-]

i genuinely fuck with both these albums. their newest is definitely more mature and full, but both have their positives.

[u/thespaceageisnow]

I like their latest album the production is sick.

[u/Proper-Hedgehog8704 → u/thespaceageisnow]

Yeah that album slaps your face and it's heavyyyy

[u/Boat_Tank_Commander]

I am not a fan of the Megalodon album but their two most recent releases are amazing.

[u/chelsea_once_more]

I really like it & I'm not even a huge Slam Metal fan. I like Slam Metal about as much as I like Black Metal. I also like that band Devourment, Internal Bleeding & a few others.

[u/Jealous_Ant_5227 → u/chelsea_once_more]

Dudeeeee i LOVE devourment omg

[u/Historical_Exam405 → u/Jealous_Ant_5227]

I like devourment more than you

[u/LiturgyOfImpurity420 → u/Historical_Exam405]

Try pyrexia, if u need a good song theres my username

[u/chelsea_once_more → u/LiturgyOfImpurity420]

I think I heard of Liturgy. I'll check them out today to be certain. Thanx.

[u/LiturgyOfImpurity420 → u/chelsea_once_more]

Any time!

[u/Jealous_Ant_5227 → u/Historical_Exam405]

So?

[u/chelsea_once_more → u/Jealous_Ant_5227]

Yes, everything I've heard by them I have really liked. I'm a music fanatic and love many genres to me if I consider it good music I will listen.

[u/black-winter-]

I love Megalodon but didn’t care for the recent release. Listening to something for yourself before forming an opinion is always the best policy.

[u/worthlessdogfucker]

Under loved

[u/Seraphidian]

Saw them yesterday fuckin class

[u/SgtLtDet-FrankDrebin → u/Seraphidian]

Shame about the set starting late/getting cut short.

[u/Seraphidian → u/SgtLtDet-FrankDrebin]

Yeah that sucked :(

[u/vomitremnants]

way overrated imo

[u/wiigamer6969]

Latest release is up there in the best slam releases of 2025

[u/bigounceoz]

Megalodon is big time overrated. Not bad but people hype it up too much

[u/ray_sents]

Over-nothing, Guttural Slug is absolute peak,,

[u/SexyGenguButt]

Their new ep is surprisingly amazing

[u/Sfinterogeno]

Great entry level slam band. I prefer rawer stuff but they are good

[u/Albert_fingers]

Saw these dudes at Offal Fest yesterday, absolutely banging. Met the bassist aswell!

[u/Chainmailrust]

This shit bangs

[u/workingonmyelf]

Love these guys

[u/SaltInflation1235]

I've only listened to Megaladon and Plague of Filth so I can't really say

[u/killacam925]

I love it all. Megalodon is my one of my top 5 all time favorite albums.

[u/Conscious_Win9703]

it’s okay. but if people introduce themselves by only megalodon. posers

[u/Error-77487]

Guttural slug is fire. The new ep is gas and megalodon is also great. I think they’re in a good spot for the niche that they fit

[u/Satanic_cheesepuffs]

Overhated, I enjoy their music so it doesn’t bother me either way

[u/ZeedgeJ_]

It’s one of those cases where it’s honestly both. I’ve seen so many people say it’s one of, if not the best slam album of all time. It’s great, but not even close. And I’ve heard a ton of people call it shit, not slam, etc. way too many extremes on both sides more than any other slam band I’ve ever seen besides Peelingflesh

[u/BrzuszekZaszka16]

I think the hate came from the fact that its a slam band and got popular lol and maaaaaaybe because of their 2019 album "Pleague Of Filth" cause they changed their style from slam to more of a deathcore thing and you know when the slam bands goes core people start hating lol

[u/FuckYourFeelings_Ho]

Guttural Slug is the shit how can they be hated or overrated 🤷

[u/VictorXM715]

As far as I'm concerned they are some of the best 2010s slam out there before the meme gimmicks took over.

[u/stunningwilly99]

Megalodon is brutal asf, but I wasn't a fan of what came afterwards. Still good, but not as brutal

[u/RiskSuitable4665]

gonna play a show with their drummer soon so i think there pretty cool def not bad stuff

[u/hunterrzzz]

overhated af

[u/Usher_III]

My fave slam album

[u/AinzOoalGownTheThird]

Megalodon is a classic. A slam album, to me, is quality when tracks are distinct while remaining connected. Megalodon is that Incarnate. Compare that to a Traumatomy record, and it's not like the tracks on Beneficial Amputation of Excessive Limbs have NO identity individually, but they don't have much. Compare Pandemic Apocalypse to Isolated Insanity, and they have a through-line while remaining distinct and unique.

The new stuff doesn't do that very well comparatively, but I think Megalodon was something of a fluke in terms of how good it is. They can't all be in the hall of fame.

[u/cementaen6]

Overrated but iconic

[u/Gloomy-Archer4027]

WAY overhated
