Fenriz’ Metal Merchants Festival DJ Set, Vol. II

Huge props to †ROCKWELL† and the guys over at Vice for posting the latest DJ set list by brother Fenriz from the 2008 (or was it 2009?) Metal Merchants Festival in Oslo. Yes, this list is now a couple of years old but, hey, the music is even older than that and let's be honest about 98% of people will never have heard more than a handful of these tracks anyway.

What we're saying is, basically, this is an example of the shit you should be feasting upon on a regular basis if you want to carve yourself a niche as an "old school" thrasher. (Not that you can ever hope to technically be considered old school if you are only just starting out now anyways, but you get our meaning!)

All of the following is lifted directly from the VICE Magazine website. Thee Claw recommends that you go check it out, they have a lot of other shit there that you're sure to gain some insight from.

Note: We just decided... It would be so easy to simply add the original download link for you to grab a copy of this compilation, but then that would be a bit wrong of us, don't you think? We reckon so. So instead let's just all agree that you will go to the Vice page for the compilation and get the link from over there.
