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)
