Tracklist
Where it leads
Bay Area Thrash Metal
Riffs cut like machine tools, tempos past 200bpm, and a garage circuit that rewrote American metal.
West Midlands Metal
Downtuned riffs from a factory city — Sabbath to grindcore, four decades of Birmingham making music heavier.
Vancouver Punk
The west-coast first wave that coined 'hardcore' — political, tuneful and absurdly early.
