The playlists were compiled by a friend of mine nicknamed Wom, as a result of a series of conversations about ‘the old days’. He has an extensive collection (and recollection) of the period whereas I’m a few years younger. I was exposed to the second part of the decade’s music very intimately and I’ve drawn some conjectural conclusions about the whole thing on the strengths of this compilation which I’m going to share with you all below. Not all the material is kick-ass music, some of it actually is pretty grating, but Wom in his wisdom has included it for a simple reason: the complete picture (and you should listen to the whole thing in one sitting a couple of times, don’t be a pussy) of the Greek black/ death/doom underground at the time is captured intimately. If all you’ve ever heard from the Greeks is a bit of Rotting Christ or Necromantia but you’d like to know more, read on!
