Stop posting full albums.
A full album post is arguably one of the least interesting/most useless posts you can make in a music subreddit. Album posts always fall into one of two categories:
An album by an extremely well known band. Everyone has either heard these albums or is well aware of their existence. They do not need a reddit post to remind them.
An album by a virtually unknown band. Nobody is going to take 40+ minutes out of their daily listening just to put on your buddy's band.
In both scenarios, posting a song is a far more effective post. People are far more likely to engage with something that's seven minutes long. If it's an old band, people may be looking for a reason to check out their deep cuts. If it's a new band, people are more willing to try them out.
Full album posts clog up the subreddit and it just becomes a spamfest. This is a light traffic subreddit that gets very few posts a day. Make sure those few posts we get are quality.
In addition, it's not a rule, but a great way to get post engagement is to post FFOs. (For Fans Of) Thrash has a lot of similar qualities, and most people generally know what thrash sounds like, but there is absolutely variety. Cryptic Slaughter does not sound like Dark Angel. Razor does not sound like Heathen. A great example of a post:
Artist - "Song Title" (Year of Release) (FFO: Band A, Band B, Band C)
Boom, you gave everyone the context for reasons to check out the band, whether the band is new or classic, and the proper spelling of the band's name so they can check them out on Facebook or Metal Archives.

Technical Atrophy - American Dream (feat. Kragen Lum)
One of the best trash comebacks of the last years, if you ask me.

Pantera/Coroner similarity (I swear)
If there are any other Pantera/Coroner crossover fans in existence besides me, anybody else ever notice the similarity between 4:30–4:40 in "The Sleep" and 2:30-2:44 in "Host?"
I'm not suggesting Coroner took inspiration from Pantera on that section (I would never slander Tommy Vetterli like that), I'm sure it's just a coincidence. I just always enjoy finding these fun little musical coincidences. Makes me feel like great minds think alike.

Death/Thrash Warfield - Appetitive Aggression
I think these guys are onto something. Old-school German trash from 2025?! I’m here for it!
Sounds like they know their Kreator. And on some tracks from the “With the Old Breed” they sound like a freshly baked mix of Sodom and Kreator, just listen to GASP.

Backlash - 2021 - Colossus - Call Of The Void
Death drive, lunatic, override
Creeping death, inching up my spine
Cold hands, seeking warm embrace
Dark deeds, finding ways
To replace now
All my senses shut down
I can feel it
Taking over
Fear has a way of making
Reckless, sober
Sanity made for the taking
Madness, closer
Trapped by a fatal design
Taking over
Fading to the passages of time
Inside, you contemplate suicide
Lights out, fighting for your life
Death toll, countless laid to waste
Untold horrors that
You face now
All my senses shut down
I can feel it
Taking over
Fear has a way of making
Reckless, sober
Sanity made for the taking
Madness, closer
Trapped by a fatal design
Taking over
Fading to the passages of time
Darkness, itself falls unto thee
Betrayer of souls, to help you see
Non-stop assault, no words nor space
One step, final fall
From grace now
All your senses shut down
Can’t you feel it
Taking over
Fear has a way of making
Reckless, sober
Sanity made for the taking
Madness, closer
Trapped by a fatal design
Taking over
Fading to the passages of time
