Metal Blade were the firat st to offer us an opportunity on ‘Metal Massacre 8’, which led to a record deal and the release of ‘Ignorance’ and ‘Surf Nicaragua’. Three of the best records ever — SLAYER‘s ‘Hell Awaits’, D.R.I.‘s ‘Dealing With It’ and C.O.C.‘s ‘Animosity’ — were all on Metal Blade. [Label honcho] Brian Slagel was and still is a huge fan and advocate for metal!
