VARIOUS ARTISTS: Speed Kills (1985)


MMMM

The legendary 'Speed Kills' introduced many people to the wonderful world of Thrash Metal back in 1985, but the compilers were clever enough to realise that there would be many like me who were already on board and so made sure to include some rare and previously unreleased tracks to lure us in. At the time of release, the Slayer, Possessed, Exciter and Venom tracks were all exclusives, cunning indeed. Okay so this didn't exactly open my eyes to a ton of bands that I hadn't already heard of, and I suspect the big winner out of this was possibly Bulldozer, because I'd never heard of them before this and I bought their album on the back of this compilation, unfortunately the song featured here was the best one on the album, but that's the name of the game I suppose!
