VARIOUS ARTISTS Grindmadness At The BBC (2009 UK 3-CD album set - From the very earliest days of Earache Records, BBC National Radio's John Peel was a huge supporter of the label and its extreme grindcore bands. Peel first offered the likes of Heresy and Napalm Death sessions in 1987, and began to invite more and more of the label's roster into the hallowed Maida Vale studios to lay down some classic sessions. In subsequent years bands such as Napalm Death and Carcass credited Peel with kick-starting their careers. This 3-CD set comprises 118 tracks spread over 17 different sessions from 8 of the most important acts in the early history of grindcore, including classic recordings from Napalm Death, Carcass, Bolt Thrower, Extreme Noise Terror, Godflesh, Heresy, Unseen Terror and Intense Degree.
