Gothic Slam play ultra-heavy, groove-laden thrash metal, not unlike early Metallica, Testament, or Overkill. The band puts an emphasis on riff-work over speed, so as to avoid doing the down-beat, thrash metal polka. Add to that the smooth, screamin' vocals and the powerful production by ex-Raven drummer Rob "Wacko" Hunter and you've got yourself one heck of a mosh-fest. Lyrically the band stays away from the "look how evil I can be" type lyrics that prevailed in '89 and goes for the more "politically incorrect, observation of a sick world, depression, politics and no hope" type of thing, not unlike Anthrax or Suicidal Tendencies.
