A 14-song, 33 minute soundtrack to a snowboarding video and, for a change, not a bunch of songs you wonder how the hell anyone could ever snowboard to.
San Francisco Bay area ’80-’82. 47 bands. That’s 8 times more bands than Boston, Not LA, another “scene scope at the time, but now historical curiosity” deal.
Tons of bands, tons of songs, shitloads of videos and interviews. As usual, there’s an art gallery and photo gallery, and a funny “Star Wars Tattoo” feature.
With 17 tracks, 76 minutes, there’s something here for anyone into metal: Heavy, power, nü, black, death, doom, epic, Goth, hardcore, and the schools within.
