Nightbringers
The Black Dahlia Murder · Nightbringers
The Black Dahlia Murder's 3rd day in the record.
12:23
Crystal Mountain
Death · Symbolic (Remastered Version)
† Liner note
From Symbolic (1995), Chuck Schuldiner steering death metal toward melody and progressive structure, the sound of the genre growing up.
12:36
For Victory
Bolt Thrower · For Victory
† Liner note
Bolt Thrower's grinding war-metal was built on a worship of Discharge's d-beat, the same fury that drives tonight's crust punk; the link is the day's hidden thesis.
13:26
Blinded By Fear
At The Gates · Slaughter Of The Soul
† Liner note
Slaughter Of The Soul (1995) is the record that codified the Gothenburg melodic-death sound and, through its imitators, seeded metalcore a decade later.

Nuclear Winter
Beastmilk · Climax

Beastmilk's Climax (2013) is Cold War dread rendered as post-punk; the band soon renamed itself Grave Pleasures.

...Of Ice
Anti Cimex · Scandinavian Jawbreaker
† Liner note
Anti Cimex more or less invented Swedish d-beat, the käng sound the whole evening descends from.
