Here comes the onslaught, six days of old school death metal. Despite all my other musical tastes, metal is the one I can most relate to others with. Most of my close friends are all metal heads in one shape or another. Sure, we all differ on which sub-genre we most align with. For me, its late 80's death metal. This felt so taboo when I was a teenager and heard just a peek of these bands on MTV's Headbanger's Ball. The violent graphics and explicit lyrics labels only made it that much more alluring. Across these six mixes, all the big names appear. I'm sure I missed some obvious choices, however I stuck with what I listen to the most and threw a few curveballs in for sure. Yes, a bit loose on occasion as I don't care to debate sub-genres, some thrash, crossover, post-hardcore, etc. Also, expect varying levels of sound quality as some of these are from my original vinyl copies and others are remastered.
