Heavy on the destruction, completely void of grindcore. On this episode, I focus on the 1994 Priority Records compilation, Best of Grindcore and Destruction. I am pretty sure this compilation only found its way into the hands of a few people.

Hell, only 50 people have it on Discogs, and that's the cassette and cd combined.

Having said that, and absurd name aside, it is an awesome collection of brutal, heavy songs. It was one of those that has stuck with me since the day I grabbed it. There's nothing obscure or particularly special about it. No B-sides, no live tracks, no songs recorded specifically for this release... it's just a weird, random find that I'm certain no one else will ever bother to do a show on. Just a great mixtape, and that's my goal.

And, another perfect gateway album for a teen in south Texas in 1994.

I lament the fact that most kids today will never find little treasures like this. There isn't anyone that will remember a recommended playlist from today 30 years from now. This was a "recommended playlist" that I still own. Still have the actual cassette. I even found the cd on Discogs so I could get a decent, steady mix for the show. Pro (?) tip - that makes it a lot easier!

Also, follow me on Youtube at Thedistortedemporium where I'm curating video playlists of each show. It's great and fun as hell!
