Welcome to the show, if you've found this you're lucky because I mentioned the incorrect URL at the end of the program. Today's program has no theme, so I've selected some random essential and nearly-essential tracks to play, mumbled in between the sets, and wrapped it up with a bow.
If you have any comments or suggestions, here's the place to do it...or you can always follow me on the twitter, I'm @yoshiki89 so go for it.
Without any further ado...show notes! Timestamps are approximate. PLAY LOUD or GO TO SLEEP.

Intro 0:00:00
I had some technical difficulties out of the gate. The beginning is a delicate time.
CASBAH (JAPAN) "Russian Roulette" 0:01:40
From the 1986 "Russian Roulette" 7" EP (also released as a demo). Japanese, immortally fantastic.
KAVIAR KAVALIER (CZE) "Du Ekel Du" 0:08:40
From the 1996 "Klinik" CD. Oh wow.
RIPPER (USA/TX) "Sinister Minister" 0:11:46
From the 1986 "...And the Dead Shall Rise" LP. You know you love it.
MC 0:15:57
and yes, the order of "Du Ekel Du" and "Sinister Minister" were reversed accidentally, sorry about that...order in the show notes is the correct order.
HELLBASTARD (UK) "They Brought Death" 0:16:38
From the 1989 "They Brought Death" 7" EP. Scruff gave me the pick he used during these sessions. Well, that's what he told me he gave me.
NOCTURNUS (USA/FL) "Neolithic"
From the 1988 "The Science of Horror" demo. If I had a top ten best demos of all time list, this one would be in it. AS. CON. TNENTS. RIPT. PART. LANS. FORMS. MOVE. TO. SYYAAAAHH.
SEVERE WARNING (USA/OH) "Death to False Metal"
From the 1987 "Death to False Metal" demo. Delicious.
MC 0:34.11
did I fart? not sure if serious
CRYPTICUS (USA/COL-NOR) "Beauty & Deceased" 0:35:25
From the 2012 "Dare to Enter, Die to Leave" Split CD w/Scaremaker, released on __ records. If I had to hire a death metal band to play my birthday party, it would be CRYPTICUS. They are amazing beyond the meager words that I can use to describe them.
ENERGY VAMPIRES (USA/IL) "Packing a Pistol" 0:38:27
From the 1991 "Energy Vampires" demo. John Stewart was also the vocalist for the original line-up of SLAUTER XSTROYES, the best band from Chicago you may not have ever heard. John lives in Las Vegas now, but he was much more than just a guy with an excellent voice and this demo proves it.
GASTUNK (JAPAN) "The Vanishing Signs" 0:42:05
From the 1986 "The Vanishing Signs" EP (also 2002 "Early Singles" compilation CD). Mighty doesn't really do justice, ultra-mighty is perhaps better.
MC 0:46:45
if you're still listening, thanks
DEHUMANIZERS (USA/WA) "Kill Lou Guzzo" 0:49:31
From the 1986 "Kill Lou Guzzo" 7" EP. If you don't think this is one of the most important records ever made, then I'm not sure how I can help you. Maybe you just need to hear it again.
ASSÜCK (USA/FL) "Corners / Unrequited Blood / A Monument to Failure" 0:55:20
From the 1997 "Misery Index" LP. It is useless to resist. You will be assimilated.
MC 0:58:28
farewell, for now
FILTHY CHRISTIANS (SWE) "Party & Fight For Your Right?" 0:59:28
From the 1990 "Mean" LP. They were the darlings of Earache Records for about 5 minutes, then they went their own way. Their most recognizable track... I still marvel, really.
