VARIOUS ARTISTS - CORPORATE DEATH (1994)

"A Relapse Multi-Death Compilation"

Memories, memories...
The good ol' Corporate Death sampler. Simpler days. This was my fuckin' meat and potatoes back in the late high school years, and along with the Virus 100 comp (as well as a couple entries from the Death... Is Just The Beginning series--all on cassette, of course) defined the future evolution of my musical preferences. I guess the Macabre and Incantation jams contained herein had the biggest effect on me in the long run, but there are tons of other smoothe tunes to be enjoyed here as well (a couple clunkers, too). King Fowley, Seth Putnam, Will Rahmer, and Frank Mullen all in the same place? Fuhggin fuhgeddaboudit!
If you're a 90's DM nerd like me, Corporate Death is already your Mecca, but if you'd like to learn more about the world of metal cassamplers, check out this excellent article Stax wrote on the subject of 90's samplers over at Metal Inquisition last year. There is just so much important, esoteric metal knowledge to be passed down to younger generations. Please do your part.

Those were the good old days.

I had those comps on tape too. Death is Just the Beginning introduced to me to underground, real death metal. I still have this one, somewhere. Thanks.

Still to this day my fave compilation tape ever- great flow, great variety- and love the whole "corporate" joke w/ the funny pics of board meetings, graphs, etc etc.
