    Part of the Street Trash Family (which also includes labels like the legendary Shockwave) Speedcore Records was the first label dedicated exclusively to Speedcore Techno and pre-dated the release of DOA's "New York City Speedcore" CD. While the term "Speedcore" had been around for years, this is one of its first 'official' uses.

    So Speedcore Recordings definitely stands at the roots and beginning of this type of music.

    While it was one of the first, don't think the labels that followed necessarily eclipsed it in hardness and sheer speed. It still stands as one of the hardest and fiercest labels that has ever been created. Its output ranges from 200 BPM madness to assaults bordering on Extratone. (Nearly) Always mixed with Death or Black Metal, and a healthy use of rap samples.

    Artists that released on this label include legends like The Berzerker, Amiga Shock Force, Sonic Overkill... and countless other. For some of them these were their debut releases.

          This is one of not many labels I would like to collect completely !! (EDIT: I have COMPLETED it) :)
          THE LEGEND that in lately 90's abandonned me from sleeping well. Berzerker and Sonic Overkill were my best producers that time. Then came another deathcore tracks from Legionz Ov Hell and Bazooka .. and then another reborn of that power label, unfortunatelly not with such force as it used to flowed before.
          The SPEEDCORE label is a musthave! And best tracks are:
          1. Berzerker - Once Upon The Cross
          2. Sonic Overkill - Born In Hell aka Enter Hell
          3. Sonic Overkill - I'll Be Watching You Die
          4. Bazooka - Break It Down Suicidal
          5. Amp - Demonix
