Also, stay away from any kind of moron who swings his/her arms around while moshing. You can get legitimately crushed in those. The ones you want to watch out for are the 'Wall of Death' style of moshpits. To be perfectly honest, it makes the moshpit kind of lame when too many people are doing it and it just turns into a big game of 'Ring Around the Rosie', but nobody will give you shit for it. You'll still get bumped into, but for the most part people will leave you alone if they see that you're not going out of your way to challenge anybody. So if you don't want to get rocked, just be one of those guys who runs in circles around the edge. One tip I can give you is that even though a moshpit may look like total chaos, the general movement usually goes in a certain direction, either clockwise or counter-clockwise. Personally, when I am in a moshpit I try not to give anybody more than I think they can take, and I always help people up who have fallen down. That being said, most people don't go into a pit with the intention of actually hurting anybody, man or woman. I'm not sure a skinny guy would get the same leeway. I won't lie to you, people usually take it easy on girls in pits because nobody wants to be that guy who injures a chick. New releases are except from this rule for a week after their release.ĭo not post the Big Four. If a specific song has been posted in the last six months, don't post it again. If a band has been posted in the last two weeks, don't post them again.Please post in a 'Artist Name - Song Title' format.No half-assed incomplete songs for 'feedback.' No obnoxious self promotion. Don't post Necrophagia because they're 'thrashy.' Keep it to thrash and direct hybrids of thrash.

fast aggressive tempos, fast guitar solos, and fast drumming.This is a place for breaking necks, not for slow stuff. We all love heavy metal but when you need some speed and aggression, in your metal, you go for thrash metal.
