SPEED METAL CRUCIFIXION (: on the art of making mixtapes)

Helm · Post by **Helm** » Thu Jul 26, 2007 2:12 pm

current wip playlist

Abattoir - Screams from the Grave
Savage Grace - Into the Fire
Helloween - Judas
Blind Guardian - Banish From Sanctuary
Su Ta Gar - Mari
Liege Lord - Speed of Sound
Kruiz - Heaviest in Town
Agent Steel - Mad Locust Rising
Pokolgep - Metal Az Isz
Riot - Thundersteel
Rage - Fast as a Shark (hah!)
Ossian - Az Ntelentap
Villain - Kamikaze
Original Sin - Conjuration of the Watcher

possibly Battlescarred or Shapeshifter by Blood Money (difficult choice)

...and that makes ~60 minutes. Proper sorting for flow (though flow in a speed metal complation would just mean putting songs with outros/intros next to each other and songs that are savagery throughout back to back, heh) to follow, then cover! This needs to be tested in a car!

Well, I would suggest:
Vampyr - Sinner
Vectom - any
Stormwitch - Cheyenne
Running wild - Adrian SOS
X Rated - any fast song
Helloween - Heavy metal is the law
Accept - Fast as a shark
Exorcist - Riding to hell
Original sin - Conjuration of the watcher
Bathory - Chariots of fire
Venom - bloodlust

etc

Thank you. Do you want me to upload the mp3 collection + 300 dpi cover in case anyone wants to burn this mix on a cd themselves or what?

Shit, that's the exact same 'Trope song I thought of! I was going to suggest Blood Money too (the title track of Red Raw & Bleeding in my case). Dunno why I didn't pipe up.

Ernest, I've been looking at your personal image for a while now and I think it just might possibly be the best heavy metal cover there is. Could you tell me which band it is, and verify that it's three cultists summoning great ancient evil (Yog Sothoth?) from the stars?

The playlist has been finalized, I'm listening to the compo to spot any flow problems and I'll be uploading the whole thing later on for anyone that is interested.

It's the cover of the Horror Creatures demo by the Mexican death metal (later black metal) band Shub Niggurath. Your guess at its Lovecraftian inspiration is right on the nose.
