Cryptic Slaughter's 1988 third album "Stream Of Consciousness" is generally lumped in with the crossover thrash crowd however I have to question it's metal credentials. Yes it's got the intensity of metal at times however it utilizes very few metal tools & sits far more comfortably under the thrashcore & hardcore punk tags in my opinion. For this reason, I'd like to propose it be removed from The Pit & added to "Non-Metal".

To be honest, I don't really like how a subgenre like thrashcore has the same name as thrash metal. Thrash metal is one of the most aggressive and most popular metal subgenres, and when there's a subgenre that is just a faster version of hardcore punk with the word "thrash" in its name, that can cause some confusion and degrade the extreme reputation of thrash metal. If I could give the thrashcore subgenre another name, I would probably call it "speedcore"... Oh wait, that's an electronic-dance subgenre. OK, "fastcore"! Yeah, I would call it "fastcore", that's what some people call thrashcore. But that's just my opinion. Let's see how this album would go in the Hall....
