Slam is a sub genre of Brutal Death Metal that is characterized by extremely low guttural vocals, a high-pitched snare drum, and of course, slams. Slam is extremely primitive sounding and is very rhythmically focused. All of the instruments, including vocals, are meant to act as percussion instruments.

Slams are short segments in a song where the tempo slows down and the guitars play a very heavy chugging pattern. The drums usually overlap with the guitar by either playing the same exact rhythm as the guitar or playing a much faster rhythm. Slams can be syncopated, or groovy. There are many bands that use slams such as Suffocation or Dying Fetus, but they do not play Slam.

These are some albums that really standout and portray what Slam is all about.
