This was my first-ever show, well, the pilot show, which aired on 31/12-2011. It is not the original recording, but it is the same tracklist, bar one track which I had to swap out as I'd already played it this year (same band), but this is as close to the original as there is due to there being no recording. Thanks to the people who wrote in and asked for this, it's for you and everyone else who's followed my show for the past ten years. Sláinte!

‪Midnite Madness CLII—‬Concrete Nemesis

Wastin' my time servin' my mind
For sense pleasures I can find
Gotta get back, back to the truth
You know it was left behind

It's so easy to see, if you wanna be free
Don't wanna be just a slave
Cause no matter how you choose
You know you'll lose
If you ain't looking for the truth

Searchin' and searchin' for something real
You gotta know how I feel
Cause we been looking after the truth
Rejected those lies of our youth

You've seen the proof
This ain't no spoof
They tried to bend the truth
And we won't regret the things we met
If we're on the path of righteousness

Now we gotta, we gotta go back
Something ain't right so we gotta, we gotta go back
Trace our steps and see what we've done
It's time for us to go back to square one

You just can't seem to see what i mean
You know what I'm talkin' about
Cause we been in bondage much too long
Don't you think it's time to get out

See time has taken it's toll and they're in control
We can't let this madness last
Gotta make our move
Get in the groove
We gotta do something FAST

A Fist in the Face of God presents... Full Speed Ahead Vol IV - A Mix by Hades & Sergeant Salsten

  So a full five years and some change (LOTS of that) have passed since I last posted a mix from the Full Speed Ahead series and, looking back at the intro I wrote for that in 2016, it couldn't ring truer now:
"You know, with every year that passes, the 80s get further away. Luckily for me, missing the 20th century is almost a worldwide hobby these days, and what better way to roll back some musical years than by blasting your ears with the shrieking sounds of 1980s speed metal."
Ah, how we all now wish for those simpler times, but rejoice we shall with this latest offering from Hades of Incinerator/Omega, alongside past mix-master himself, Sergeant Salsten of Norwegian thrash metal kings, Deathhammer. I will let the lads and the mix itself do the rest of the talking. Enjoy.

Hades Omega: And here we are again, bleeding your ears and giving you a tachycardia with a lethal dose of speed fuckin' metal!
This time I gathered forces with the one and only Sergeant Salsten. I've known this nefarious character for almost a decade now and I consider him a HUGE speed metal devotee, so I invited him to join me and select a few killer tunes for the new Full Speed Ahead compilation.
We chose mostly old and hidden diamonds, but also a few newer bands which totally deserve people's attention and support.
Now crack a cold one open and play the mix on a volume loud enough so that your neighbours can also enjoy it!

Sergeant Salsten: Bon appetite. Here are some nasty speedballs for all the hectic ones! Speed metal takes no prisoners and is all about raw energy.
There's a couple of German ones here, of course, since they are total Speedlandia.
Lots of gems there, but there's speed in heaps of cracks. MAUSOLEUM RECORDS FOREVER.
Slash your ears!
