For those not in the know, Fenriz is the drummer from Darkthrone. Darkthrone are one of the pioneers of the second generation of black metal that came from Norway in the early 90's. Darkthrone are amazing and Fenriz has always been very vocal about his passion for metal, and even non-metal music. He's long been involved in the tape-trading circuit and has an amazing collection of music to pull from to make these sweet mixes. Most of the music is obscure to me... probably being that he's Scandinavian and had a lot more exposure to the European and world music market than I could ever hope to know. Nice thing is, he balances things between each mix, from full on black/thrash/death to early 70's psychedelic rock to a mix he shared with a dude from another Norwegian band called Obliteration.
I think the mixes are awesome and they're all made with two turntables and have that awesome crackly old vinyl sound. Which is a sweet sweet sound. I'd say for the non-metal enthusiast, at least give mix II a listen... it's really not at all what I would've expected and it's amazing.
