RSSSoundtrack to the Apocalypse (That Never Arrived)
I was going to make 6 copies of this, and it was going to be 66 minutes long and contain 13 songs. Because the time between actually getting the idea and whipping the disc together was only about 66 minutes, there really wasn’t a lot of time for anything more than picking tracks. I ended up only making 3 copies because I really don’t know many people with the metallic fortitude to actually listen to this disc the whole way through.
I did, however, try to make the disc start off mild and gradually increase in brutality as the tracks piled on. I truly, truly, truly wanted to make “Sweet Love” by Anita Baker the ending track, but I ran completely out of room and was aftraid that Anita Baker’s stylings might actually push too many listeners over the fine line that separates good, clean fun and mass murder.
If I put any real thought into it, I would’ve also moved “Satan” (currently in the 18 slot) to track 13 and closed the disc with “Disciple.” It was pointed out that “Number of the Beast” really should’ve been track 6, which I fully agree.
Maybe next century…

I’d have to take out one Slayer tune to insert Shout at the Devil (Motley Crue) and I’d also have to wind it up with Friend of the Devil (The Dead) or Devil Went Down To Georgia (Charlie Daniels), just for a good giggle.
Regardless…I think that’s an awesome mix that you could make some bank on!

That’s a great cover. I think I would’ve tried to squeeze Vital Remains’s Dechristianize and Deicide’s Biblebasher on there. And probably maybe Slayer’s the Antichrist for some old school fun.
