A note from this shelf

Riff-fueled and relentless: Slippery When Wet's Bullies in the Schoolyard gets in your face and in your space with punchy attitude, while syn.terra's Skylla unleashes piano-driven progressive swamp metal — wailing horns, crunching guitars, and double-kicks straight from the fetid depths. Bloodshot Cyclops's Here's Blood In Your Eye brings metallically bombastic thrash rock with sarcastically stupid lyrics — think Motörhead meets Scatterbrain — and Shadows of my Doubts's Beginning of the End traces a life's journey from daybreak to dusk with 80s-infused symphonic punch.
