Greatest Hits LP

D.R.I. built crossover thrash by welding hardcore's sprint speed onto metal's riff logic, and this Cleopatra compilation drags the wreckage of their early-to-mid-'80s run back into daylight. The same songs have circulated before under different names, Dirty Rotten Hitz and Thrashkore Retrospektif among them, proof the label keeps mining the same vein. What's collected here is bedrock: the stuff punk and metal bands after them kept building on.
