Abrasion, Disruption, Release: a playlist by John Zeke

Our playlist curator, John Zeke



We are thrilled today to bring you a special feature to be blasted at maximum volume:
this playlist has been curated by a true maniac who comes from none other than masters of filth Obnoxious Youth - and as if that already didn't say it all, he also used to go wild on bass in two of Death metal's most ferocious bands of recent times: namely VORUM and Degial, as well as doing the Hard rocking deeds with Begravningsentreprenörerna back at the time.

We're sure by now it's clear we are talking about John Zeke, who, as you might remember, also was one of the DJs at PÅGÅ's show in Helsinki: so we asked him if he wanted to be a DJ also for all of us here on Unearthed Mirrors, he kindly accepted and prepared this musical selection for us.
 A fittingly paced mix with both some widely known  names and some less heard of ones, ending with a choice that surely makes for a perfect conclusion.

Last month, Obnoxious Youth have been in the studio to record their next release and we are absolutely looking forward to hearing what sort of disturbing blasphemies they are going to unleash upon the world this time - but for now, it's time to turn up the volume and give a spin to this hell of a playlist: check out the tracklist with some additional comments by John about his choices, and right below you'll find both the YouTube and the Spotify player to blast the music where you prefer - we hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did, and we thank once again our playlist curator for taking the time to select some musical madness for us!

  • Dicks - "The Dicks Hate The Police"

  • Flower Leperds - "Necrology"

  • Kohti Tuhoa - "Noitaympyrä"
    J.: Finland's best punk band for the past decade.

  • Poison Idea - "Hot Time"

  • Alex Harvey - "Flying Saucer’s Daughter"

  • Thåström - "Från Himlen Sänt"

  • Misfits- "Bloodfeast"
    J.: I could not make a playlist without including anything of my household God Glenn Danzig's work.

  • Ranger - "Supervalta"
    J.: My brothers in Ranger released their latest album in both English and Finnish, and the Finnish version is just way over the top. I "happened" to pick the track where I make a guest appearance on lead guitar.

  • Spirit Possession - "Hierarchical Skin"
    J.: In my opinion the most interesting newer extreme metal act out there. Face-melting intricate finesse.

  • Molassess - "The Devil Lives"
