Although Atlanta is scarcely talked about in the annals of metal (compared to L.A., New York, San Francisco etc.) you'll get a glimpse of the Atlanta scenes depth and its awesome and sometimes truly bizarre takes on the genre and sub-genres from this document. Spanning two decades of local bands, studio projects and touring heavyweights, STD features everything from hard rocking heavy metal to gory basement death metal. Boris Records and Deanwell Global Music present this gatefold double LP compilation packed with information and artwork directly from the bands that made the music! Strap in and prepare yourself for a night of fierce metallic sounds mined from the sweaty nightclubs, packed house parties and warehouse shows of Atlanta, Georgia 1982-1999. More to come!
