Comment:

Here's something to keep in mind as you tear through our [i]Shredders[/i] Essentials: Good luck keeping up. While you may be able to bang your head to a recurring riff or two, most of these tracks will turn your brain to mush. The catch? You'll be smiling the whole way through, caught in a shock-and-amaze cycle of everyday people with inhuman hands (Joe Satriani, Tom Morello, Eddie Van Halen, Zakk Wylde) and sadomasochistic peddlers of sheer brutality (the black metal of Mayhem and Enslaved; the swift thrash templates of Slayer, Metallica, and Megadeth; and the new wave of British heavy metal heralded by Judas Priest and Grim Reaper).
