V/A - It Came From Slimey Valley 1984

Much of the early promotion of Nardcore came from Mystic Records, in Hollywood/California, its founder Doug Moody and Mystic Promotion Director Mark Wilkins. Mystic not only launched many bands onto vinyl, but also promoted the Nardcore scene as a whole. Another monumental compilation from the States and this one has quite a few cuts by bands making their vinyl debut. Cleanly produced from the Mystic/Ghetto Way and, like the COPulation LP, it contains a well-balanced mixture of thrash, punk, metal, and their permutations. Overall it provides a good introduction to current developments in the Southland. Marc Rude's grotesque cover art provides an additional bonus. - Jeff Bale (from Maximum Rocknroll #16, August 1984)
