As The World Burns: Complete Recordings 1984/1987 (2lp)
Official discography 1984-1987 of this seminal speed metal band from Portland, Oregon featuring the legendary Steve Hanford (Thee Slayer Hippie) (RIP) of Poison Idea on drums!! Punk driven thrash galore delivered with outstanding energy and riffing excellence. This double LP includes the 'Burned Alive' LP (1987), the 'Burned Alive' bonus track 'Tear Down The Walls,' the 'As The World Burns' demo (1985) and miscellaneous pre-'Burned Alive' demo tracks. A work of love entirely dedicated to Steve Hanford (Thee Slayer Hippie) that took care of the audio transfer and mastering works before passing away... Forget the completely useless reissue of 'Burned Alive' that recently came out without part of the band's approval, this F.O.A.D. reissue is the ultimate Mayhem discography, ALL MASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL REELS including a lot of rare and unreleased contents. Housed in a high glossy gatefold jacket with full colored 16 page booklet collecting rare and exclusive photos, flyers, 'zine excerpts, interviews and a lot more.
