Steve has been flexing his geek and undertaking & mapping a journey through the origins and evolution of #DeathMetal and #BlackMetal. To celebrate the extreme arts we will be sharing this for your vulgar delectation (Q riotous uproar at the inclusions, omissions & comments)

And the journey starts with the biggest influencers... all we're saying is, no Motörhead, no Venom... The Deathly Left Hand Path surely takes its extreme turn here with 'Overkill'.

And if not, its a banging tune. Take it away Philthy...

No introduction needed. Here's where extreme metal really started in earnest. Love em or hate em, the origin of the faeces is here...

You can't underestimate the influence on early #DeathMetal, & #BlackMetal in general that comes from punk & hardcore. Skipping Crass et al tho for the purpose of this thread, and jumping to 2 seminal bands, and 2 great albums, to represent that impact https://open.spotify.com/album/34aFnrFRBlErcbU6moRZR3?si=mgQq8f6CSVC8wOKm_IxolA
