SPREAD THIN Unleashes New Video For Explosive Track “Gaslit” Off New Album “World of Snakes” Out Now!
|
|
Unleashing their debut full-length album “World Of Snakes” this past July, Wisconsin hardcore quartet, Spread Thin has a new music video for fans for their explosive fist fury track “Gaslit”. The song speaks of the frustration of watching someone you love struggle and when you try to help, it blows up in your face every time.
Vocalist Ben Deml adds:
“They will constantly blame things wrong with them on everyone else and eventually you just reach this point where you really start to believe you might be the problem. The cycle repeats. Gaslit.”
Watch the video via its premiere on Decibel Magazine HERE.
“World Of Snakes” is Spread Thin‘s introduction to the scene and they are looking forward to the reception of this no-filler, straightforward hardcore album with pungent power-violence and grind influences. They comment on the album:
“We are extremely proud of this record. The songwriting, production, and overall flow is what we wanted for this debut full length and we feel that previous fans so the band will hear and appreciate the evolution, as well as new fans discovering us for the first time.”
Over the course of 18 minutes, Spread Thin demonstrates earnest lyrics with fervent delivery, vocalist Ben Deml thrashes through raucous, scraping guitars wielded by guitarist Alex Dewall. An acute focus on syncopation of the rhythm section is executed by the chaotic, strategic percussion of drummer Tristan Wells and the garish, lively bass arrangements of bassist Bryan W. Fleming.
The album artwork for “World Of Snakes”, was created by Alyssa Servizzi who, according to the band, absolutely nailed the mood and imagery they were looking for and they feel that it best describes the album visually. Unapologetic and impassioned, Spread Thin defines a volition of candor in their songwriting and live performances with forthright emotion and presentation. They are recommended for fans of Rotting Out, Magrudergrind, and Weekend Nachos.
“World of Snakes” was released on July 26, 2024, and is available at the following links:

“Spread Thin: Wisconsin Hardcore Unit Gets to the Point on “Unjustified”” – NoEcho (World Of Snakes – 2024)
“the Wisconsin-based hardcore quartet has crafted an opus that is as unapologetic as it is indignant, drawing influences from power violence, grind, and sludge.” – Metal Devastation Radio (World Of Snakes – 2024)
““World Of Snakes” is like a precise and short shot from a gun with eighteen minutes full of intensity! Spread Thin look immense playing live, but with a very clear sound coming from them. I immediately imagined how insane it must be on stage, and I hope they soon return with more material!9/10” – Ever-Metal (World Of Snakes – 2024)
“Spread Thin are adept at leading you into the fire before offering an olive branch of thrashing guitar rhythms to resist the heat. Whether we call it powerviolence, hardcore or grind, it delivers on all levels.8/10” – Scream Blast Repeat
“This is kind of a scream core/hardcore thing from right here in Wisconsin (LaCrosse)!” – 89.9 WORT FM – The Moshpit (Madison, WI) (World Of Snakes – 2024)
” from the very start of opening track “So Much Hate” the record sounds like it was recorded live on the floor with a bass heavy mix and ferocious vocals giving it an urgent Hardcore Punk energy. Deml wears his heart of his sleeve with his personal lyrics which will resonate with anyone who has suffered from anxiety or depression as lines like “I can’t take any criticism, I take it straight to the heart” float around the brain like a bullet ricochet. That furious cathartic vent continues into “Factory Job” which will resonate equally with anyone who has reached the point with their job that sanity is hard to maintain. A Grind inspired opening salvo is followed up by bouncy basslines that inject a real sense of fun so it’s not all fire and brimstone. Wells absolutely destroys the ear drums with his percussive battery on “Gaslit“, arguably his finest of the album and influences from Rotting Out and Weekend Nachos bleed through the sonic abrasions nicely. 8/10″ – Metal Noise (World Of Snakes – 2024)
“Short and to the point, Spread Thin have a sour outlook and plenty to say, but keep the focus sharp with an album that barely passes the eighteen-minute mark in length but features nine tracks. With all but one of the tracks sitting around the two-minute mark, it’s really no surprise that this is a violent and virulent expulsion of hardcore punk and metal intensity.” – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life (World Of Snakes – 2024)
“From the moment So Much Hate arrives, Spread Thin are swinging hard with their unflinching heavy sound. One that alternates impressively between garish speed and methodical strength. The latter part of this track is killer. Although delivering knockout blows is par for the course with Spread Thin. Factory Job, a manic venting session for everyone who has had to experience the back-breaking work of such a job, Gaslit, a track that is brutally honest and brutally harsh, and Know What’s Bullshit?, a straight up barrage of heavy hardcore fury demanding you wake up to the depressing reality of routine.” – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life (World Of Snakes – 2024)
“World Of Snakes in fact, there is a raw energy combined with a furious madness brought by a vocalist full of banter, uttering sharp cries (, sometimes alternated by powerviolence-style groans Spazz). Snarling vocals that are nevertheless often understandable, he is also capable of sending punchlines that make you smile (mention to « I’ve stopped believe in fairytales when I was fucking five! » during « Nailed »). With its in-house ( production signed by the bassist and mixed/mastered by Will Hirst, who takes care of the sound of Restraining Order), World Of Snakes sounds almost like a live take from the group, combining a lot of dynamism with its ultra tense and « side which scratches » ( guitar and bass sounding on the scrap metal side). Highly recommended for those who like their very angry hardcore punk.” – Eklektik Rock (World Of Snakes – 2024)

SPREAD THIN Pull No Punches In “Unjustified”
New Album “World of Snakes” Out July 2024
|
|
Spread Thin is a Wisconsin hardcore quartet fusing power-violence, grind, and sludge into a hostile and indignant opus of aggression for those who like their music fast, loud, and without restraint. They are dropping their debut full-length “World Of Snakes”, on July 26, 2024, and are now sharing their third single “Unjustified” – an old-school, no-nonsense hardcore punk song that gets to the point. The band shares their thoughts on this single and the two that have already been released:
“We wanted an aggressive record with no filler. We feel we achieved what we sought out to record, but this is the beginning of where we want to go from here. The single is about how life is short, we don’t need to make it worse for ourselves and everyone else. Don’t be a bitch. The rest of the album has a lot of surprises, and these three tracks prepare the listener for what they can expect.”
Spread Thin, formed by four best friends from different bands, merges their diverse influences into a cohesive and aggressive sound. With earnest lyrics and fervent delivery, vocalist Ben Deml leads the charge, supported by Alex Dewall’s raucous, scraping guitars. The rhythm section features Tristan Wells’ chaotic, strategic drumming and Bryan W. Fleming’s garish, lively bass.
Unapologetic and impassioned, the band defines a volition of candor in their songwriting and live performances with forthright emotion and presentation. They practice very hard to have a tight rhythm section between the bass and drums, cutting through the chainsaw guitar tone and barking vocals. They are recommended for fans of Spy, Rotting Out, and Magrudergrind.
Watch and listen to the music video for “Unjustified” along with an interview on NoEcho HERE.
“World of Snakes” is due out on July 26, 2024, and is available for pre-order at https://spreadthin608.bandcamp.com.

SPREAD THIN Push The Boundaries Of Hardcore In “Friendly Deception”
New Album “World of Snakes” Out July 2024
|
|
Spread Thin is bringing their unique blend of hardcore from Wisconsin, USA to listeners around the world with their upcoming debut full-length album “World Of Snakes”, which drops on July 26, 2024. Thus far, they have released the single “Factory Job” and now they are following it up with the video for “Friendly Deception”, delivering down-tempo hardcore energy, and showing off a side of the band that fans will no doubt eat up. The band comments:
“We wanted an aggressive record with no filler. We feel we achieved what we sought out to record, but this is the beginning of where we want to go from here. Our very first demos as a band were a mix of old ideas from previous projects, and we felt very early that was not the sound we wanted to make and what we should be making as a group. The single is about when you’ve had someone close to you, who you trusted completely, ever fuck you over. This one’s for you.”
“World of Snakes” is not just an album; it’s a volition of candor and unfiltered emotion, crafted with forthright honesty in both songwriting and presentation. Spread Thin’s evolution from modern hardcore roots to a distinctive blend of power-violence, sludge, and grind highlights their commitment to pushing the boundaries of hardcore punk.
This album marks the beginning of their journey, and they’re excited to continue exploring a darker, more intense sound in the future. It is recommended for fans of Gel, Spy, and Rotting Out.

SPREAD THIN Wipe The Floor With Aggression And Hostility In “Factory Job” Off Upcoming Album “World of Snakes” Out July 2024
|
|
Spread Thin is Wisconsin, USA’s explosive hardcore quartet and they are set to release their hostile debut full-length album “World of Snakes” on July 26th. In anticipation, they are premiering today, the video single “Factory Job”, a gritty and succinct look at the band’s unique blend of powerviolence, grind, and sludge that will draw in new fans and please existing ones. The band had this to say about the single:
“Working in a factory sucks. It’s very straining on your body, tedious, and downright cruel sometimes. You may end up working one for years and years until boom one day you get to retire. By that point, your body will more than likely be so worn out you don’t get to enjoy life at that point. This song is just a venting session for anyone out there who has had it, and damn near at the point where sanity is getting hard to maintain.”
“Factory Job” encapsulates the dynamic and speed fluctuations that define “World of Snakes”, and offers a powerful introduction to the band’s sound and sets the stage for the subsequent singles. Most songs on this record were written in a live atmosphere, with riffs and ideas developed together as a band, and Spread Thin aims to create an aggressive record with no filler, and they believe “World of Snakes” achieves that goal.
The band’s relentless practice and dedication to a tight rhythm section, cutting through chainsaw guitar tones and barking vocals, ensure their live shows are a must-see for any hardcore fan. They are recommended for fans of Weekend Nachos, Gel, and Spy.

==============================================
About The Album Artwork:
The album artwork was created by Alyssa Servizzi after we reached out to ask for artwork based upon the album name “World Of Snakes”. Alyssa absolutely nailed the mood and imagery we were looking for and we feel that it best describes the album visually. The album title comes from the lyrics of the song “Friendly Deception”.
About the album as a whole (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY)
Lyrically:
Angry, unpleasant, honest with memorable lines that the listener can relate to.
Musically:
Equally fast and slow, aggressive and harsh with no filler.
Track by track (LYRICALLY )
ANSWERED BY BEN DEML (VOCALIST)
So Much Hate – people are quick to dislike or hate someone who might have been close to them. It might be a political difference, religion, but rather than talking through it and trying to understand different points of views they jump to hate.
Factory Job – Working in a factory sucks. It’s very straining on your body, tedious, downright cruel sometimes. You may end up working one for years and years until boom one day you get to retire. By that point your body will more than likely be so worn out you don’t get to enjoy life at that point. This song is just a venting session for anyone out there who has had it, and damn near at the point where sanity is getting hard to maintain.
Gaslit – Nothing is more frustrating than watching someone you love struggle and when you try to help, it blows up in your face every time. They will constantly blame things wrong with them on everyone else and eventually you just reach this point where you really start to believe you might be the problem. Cycle repeats.
Know what’s bullshit? – Routines suck, and most of the population gets locked in one and just repeats every day.
Unjustified – Life is short, we don’t need to make it worse for ourselves and everyone else. Don’t be a bitch.
Friendly Deception – When you’ve had someone close to you, who you trusted completely, ever fuck you over. This one’s for you.
Nailed – This one was written after the overturn of Roe V. Wade. I’ve been pretty dormant on the way I feel about religion for some time now. That however, set me off. This song is mostly about Christianity, but definitely is centered around all religion. How religion is the cause behind most upset in the world, not politics.
Moodswings – Whether you are anxious, depressed, stressed out, and you can no longer even find the strength to engage in conversation. Lashing out in anger at those who don’t deserve it, feeling like nothing is getting better. It’s hard for me to convey in words how I feel most of the time, so I tried to sum it up with Mood Swings.
Listen up! – Our elders blaming us and younger generations for things they have caused is insane. Unfortunately, it’s up to us to turn things around and try to truly make things better for us and future generations.
