Steve has been flexing his geek and undertaking & mapping a journey through the origins and evolution of #DeathMetal and #BlackMetal. To celebrate the extreme arts we will be sharing this for your vulgar delectation (Q riotous uproar at the inclusions, omissions & comments)

And the journey starts with the biggest influencers... all we& #39;re saying is, no Motörhead, no Venom... The Deathly Left Hand Path surely takes its extreme turn here with & #39;Overkill& #39;.

And if not, its a banging tune. Take it away Philthy... https://youtu.be/MlzTET_8SQg ">https://youtu.be/MlzTET_8S...

No introduction needed. Here& #39;s where extreme metal really started in earnest. Love em or hate em, the origin of the faeces is here...

You can& #39;t underestimate the influence on early #DeathMetal, & #BlackMetal in general that comes from punk & hardcore. Skipping Crass et al tho for the purpose of this thread, and jumping to 2 seminal bands, and 2 great albums, to represent that impact https://open.spotify.com/album/34aFnrFRBlErcbU6moRZR3?si=mgQq8f6CSVC8wOKm_IxolA">https://open.spotify.com/album/34a...
