MP3's
HARDCORE CLASSICS volume 1
cdr comp
  • + Download the ZIP file here.

    This is a compilation CDR thing I picked up years ago at a fest. It was made by one of the guys in 9 Shocks Terror, perhaps Erba, but I forget now. It's 43 tracks of classic hardcore. These are all great songs, and there are probably at least a few bands here you never checked out. It's all on the thrashier side of things with bands like DRI, Zero Boys, Verbal Abuse, Antidote, Septic Death, Deep Wound, Offenders, Nihilistics, Indigesti, Raw Power, Void, Negazione, Scared Straight, The Freeze, COC, Code Of Honor, Heart Attack, Decry, and many more. These are all tracks taken from the bands records, a sort of KBD compilation best of sort of thing.
