King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's "Infest The Rats' Nest" isn't thrash metal

Sure, there are a fair few fast tracks that definitely include more than the odd thrash riff on King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's "Infest The Rats' Nest" album but it simply doesn’t feel like a thrash record in any way, shape or form thanks to the fuzzy, 1970’s style production job. It’s not slicing & abrasive like thrash should be & doesn’t sound half as metal as a “Bonded By Blood” or a “Pleasure To Kill” which is why my inclusion of the opening track “Planet B” on a monthly playlist for The Pit never quite seemed to sit too well with me. Instead we get a record that feels much more like a stoner metal release, kinda like the thrashier High On Fire material in many ways & for that reason I'd like to see it removed from The Pit & reside solely in The Fallen.

With you on this one: there's a strong thrash influence present, but to me it feels like a stoner metal piece with as much influence from punk as from thrash.
