1. EXODUS
'Blood In Blood Out' taken from the Nuclear Blast album 'Blood In Blood Out'
Showing they still thrash as fast and as heavy as ever, almost 35 years into their career this title track from Exodu's tenth album heralds the return of Steve 'Zetro' Souza on quick-fire staccato vocals.

2. OBITUARY
'Inked In Blood' taken from the Relapse album 'Inked In Blood'

5. Akem Manah
'The Twisted Rites of Satan's Bride' taken from the Freak Metal album 'Demons Of The Sabbat'
Having lulled you into a false sense of security, the tolling bell that heralds the beginning of 'The Twisted Rites of Satan's Bride' gives way to dark, doomy sacramental horror. Dare you to listen it with the lights off?
