Spiketty Fenriz’ Metal Merchants Festival DJ Set Mix

Brentabousco posted this on the Melvins forum and I thought all the spiketty hordes here would like a piece of the action…

This is a mix of the set Fenriz played at the first Metal Merchants Festival. Originally it was only hand-distributed to about 50 people, but Apollyon played it one nite while we were getting lit at my old place early last year and it blew me away. So I asked Fen for a copy and he ripped me a dub and it soundtracked literally my whole summer last year. Some incredible tracks from the most obscure bands I would never have heard had it not been for DJ V.K.O.M. Does what a great mix should – open you up to bands you didn’t even know existed. So, here it is, with a short message that appeared on the back cover.

Hello o ancient ones! The lame world of modern metal is left behind. Now let us enjoy the soulful fruits of our beloved lands of the past. DOOM!

I’ve been searching the various tracks through YouTube . . . it’s killer stuff! Fenriz can DJ at my parties any day.

Yeah I just listened to it on the way home under the headphones and it has some pretty killer old skool metal on it. Kat’s vocalist totally sounds like Golem from Lord Of The Rings! hahaha

All kinds of obscure metal, thrash bands no one has ever heard of.

You ever heard of Aspid?

Check em out. Bad ass russian thrash

I think my doctor recommended Aspid for my high blood pressure last time I took a physical.

Goddammit now I won’t be able to stop thinking of it as a medicine

This might help you think of something different.

Check out the ASPID!!! It’s totally BAD ASS-PID!!!

That’s on par with the jaguar hearse from Harold & Maude

Per that Youtube interview with him, I’m shocked he didn’t include Michael Jackson’s “Dangerous” as a hidden track

Part II of the mix…
