Earache Records has now been a thing for 25 years. Holy crap! Twenty five years ago Ronald Reagan was the President of the USA, the Berlin Wall still stood and this was the hottest new computer. Most of the folks reading this were either in diapers or not yet even a twinkle in their parents’ eyes.

Since Digby Pearson started Earache in 1987 the label’s put out albums by an impressive who’s-who of legendary metal artists, including Napalm Death, Morbid Angel, Entombed, At the Gates, Decapitated, Deicide, Godflesh, Brutal Truth, and so many more. And, uh… Oceano. But we’ll just pretend that didn’t happen.

To celebrate their 25th anniversary, Earache has put together a 25-track “best of” compilation and made it available for free download via Amazon. We highly recommend you download it, like, right now.
