Metal’s 50-year anniversary year continues with a detour into the supercharged, corrosive, and highly influential realm of hardcore punk. Better understand metal’s leap from Iron Maiden and Judas Priest to Metallica and Slayer with this chaotic, kinetic collection of classic early 1980s tracks from dozens of DIY agitators including Discharge, Agnostic Front, Negative Approach, Raw Power, Die Kreuzen, G.B.H. (pictured), Broken Bones, SNFU, Dr. Know, Angry Samoans, Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Suicidal Tendencies, Necros, the Meatmen, C.O.C., D.R.I., Minor Threat, and more. See you in the pit! Know your Roots!
