Midnite Madness CIV—2017

2017 show, for all you maniacs. Not a definitive best releases of 2017 show, per se, just some of the good stuff. Thanks again for listening, and to all the bands and labels for sending me the tracks the make up this show. See you in 2018 on January 10th for more MIDNITE MADNESS, 'til then...

1986-6-6 Mix on Rádio Quântica

ALRIGHT. As promised, albeit a little later than I originally thought, here is my first guest mix (!), compiled for the maniacs of Rádio Quântica's Satan Made Me Do It show. Yes, I guess Satan Made Me Do it guys made me do it, but I had blast making this. It was actually supposed to be Midnite Madness 86, but it felt like an old Maniac Monday show, and those guys seems to love the old format, so I decided to give it to them instead.
Just demo tracks from 1986. Not an essential list or best of, etc, as I've played out a bunch of the really killer stuff, so just what I felt like playing at the time and what I haven't gotten round to blasting on my show. As all came from MP3s with varying quality, so sound may fluctuate from good to, well, kinda shit, but ALL killer tracks. You can listen below. Maybe if enough people want it solo, I can maybe upload it, but just enjoy it whatever (I am up in hour two).
Shouts to the guys again for being patient and appreciative and all-round good people, makes it all the more worthwhile. Who knows, maybe I will return next year with a 1987 demo mix for them... Kill the weekend!

DEMOndays XVI

Definitely one of my all-time favourite thrash demos, this one. Evil and fast—just how I like it. Download and THRASH!!!

Desecration (USA) Psycho [1985]
1. Intro
2. Psycho
3. Death's Revenge
4. Halloween

Most of these files are rips from the internet and some, as killer as the music is, are not very good/high quality recordings. Also, sometimes the artwork is incomplete or low-res. If you have a better recording, higher-res artwork, info regarding the demo, etc, PLEASE either mail it direct to me here or simply add a link in the comment section. Go on.

DISCLAIMER: If you own the recording and want it removed, please do not be an internet snitch and make a DMCA claim, just email me or leave a comment and I will remove it. Thanks.

DEMOndays XV

ALRIGHT. Apologies for the lateness and also the no posts lately. Can't say I've been too busy, just forgetful and trying to avoid the internet, is all. So, let's go back to basics here with some of that good ol' thrash metal Americans of the 80s were so good at producing. This is the demo of legendary Bay Area thrashers Testament. Regular listeners to the show will know I'm not too big on Testament, but this demo fucking slays, especially "Reign of Terror" (best version, for sure). Play it loud, and all that.

Legacy (USA) Demo:1 [1985]
1. Burnt Offerings
2. Reign of Terror
3. Alone in the Dark
4. Raging Waters

Maniac Monday LIV - €UROTHRASH ('N' SPEED METAL)

YES. €urothrash, indeed. Title is pretty self-explanatory, so enjoy this (almost) all-80s European thrash attack, should you have missed it last Monday.
Maniac Monday returns with more insanity on March 31st, 'til then, stay clean.

DOWNLOAD

Maniac Monday XLV - Thrash 'til Death II—Tyrants of Hell

Another Maniac Monday sees another thrash attack in the form of a second Thrash 'til Death show. Again, I was just trying to play some bands I hadn't before, so don't take this as some kind of thrash compendium—half of the last 45 shows have been just that, haha.

So again, thanks to those who listen in on a regular basis and thirst for the new discoveries each show may bring—you are who the show is for. As I mentioned in the show, I found I had a big pool of thrash and speed metal tracks for this one, so I kinda split the more heavy metal-vocaled ones for the next show (or maybe the one after to break it up a little), so hold tight for that one.

There are only three Maniac Mondays left of 2013—one of which will be the aforementioned speed metal show, another will be the 2013 show as I have so much killer shit to play from this year's releases—so tune in on December 2nd for the next onslaught, 9-11GMT, 4-7EST etc.

DOWNLOAD

Maniac Monday XXII - 1985

Yes, another show complete, this time the year 1985 got its turn. In-keeping with recent shows, there is much thrash and speed metal on this show, but some other stuff too, so make sure to check it out. Obviously this isn't a definitive 1985 show, like all my shows, I more wanted to play bands people mightn't have heard or bands I haven't been playing enough of. And using 1985 as an excuse to play more Warrant too, hehe.
Not sure how many shows are left this year, there might be two, or maybe one—my last show is supposed to go out Dec 31st but I am awaiting confirmation on that. Regardless, the next show is on December 17th, so don't forget to tune in to NTS for that one. Also, one of these next two shows will be a 2012 show. Look out for a special Amulet show early next year, by the way. 'til next time...

Maniac Monday XXI - Thrash 'til Death—Germany Vs USA [85-88]

 

That's right, the battle of the thrash nations begins here with USA Vs Germany. Apologies in advance for the 'low-talking' on this caused by a new 'mic'—don't ask! 

Be back in a fortnite with, hmm, I'm not yet sure, perhaps the 2012 show, but I am still awaiting a release or two—well, only Black Magic really—and then it's good to go. 'til then...

Maniac Monday XVIII - State of the Art Speed Metal

That's right, in the wise words of Dave Mustaine himself—state of the art speed metal! I gotta say, it was one of my favourite shows to date, as I have said before and I will say again—thrash rules everything around me. I have been belying my thrasher roots with my themes over the past few months so was great to play some 80s-only speed and thrash metal. I will do a heavier thrash show real soon, so thrashers be on alert! However, next week's show will be a South American massacre so do tune in to that next Monday, October 22nd, so I guess some time in November. There is still another punk show to come, perhaps with some crossover lumped in, maybe another year-only show—1985 anyone?—and, well, a 2012 show nearer the year's end, of course. So many good new tracks to play, fuckkk.

I would just like to point out that the first remastered track I played out of choice was in fact Dave's Megadeth as the original of the album sounds like it was recorded in an old washing machine, so props for once to remastering. Definitely didn't play the remastered Savage Grace at the start—WHY did they overlay triggered drums onto that beast of a speed metal record??? Be like CGIing a smile onto the Mona Lisa or something, I don't know. 

Soon like-minded heathens, metal troglodytes, and the rest!
