Thrashing Rage III

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 13:50:57 -0800

A Fist in the Face of God has assembled a new chapter in their "Thrashing Rage" mix series, but instead of harkening back to 80s glory days, this one focuses solely on bands from the 90s and beyond: http://afistinthefaceofgod.blogspot.com/2012/03/fist-in-face-of-god-presents-thrashing.html
Of course Scandinavia is well-represented or I wouldn't be posting it -- featured bands include Antichrist, Audiopain, Nekromantheon, Corrupt, Condor and more.

Live Evil is the underground metal festival happening in London this weekend featuring bands who have all had the honor of being selected as one of Fenriz's bands of the week. Like many folks, I am unable to attend, but lucky for us someone put together a mix with tracks from every act: http://afistinthefaceofgod.blogspot.com/2010/10/fist-in-face-of-god-presents-live-evil.html
Quite a few Scandinavian names worth noting there, including Sonic Ritual, Deathhammer, Obliteration, Hooded Menace, Nekromantheon, Ghost...
