Metal as a musical brand really depends on how old you are. Metal and Hard Rock were interchangeable terms until bands like Metallica came along. This was originally a CD-R I burnt for my son when I noticed some of my music found it's way into his room. He was brutal on discs, and some ten years later, he still is. It was easier, and cheaper just to burn him music. You may notice Volume 1 in the title. There's a few more of these. If there's enough interest I'll post more. There is a bit of overlap with other mixes I've posted. Perhap's because I never intended to share this or those of this series that may follow, but also because songs can fit into many different situations.
