Collector Notes: The producers of Metal Marathon adopted an air of mystique by working exclusively under pseudonyms, a move that added an enigmatic layer to the album’s production. While this creative choice complemented the rebellious and theatrical spirit of metal, it’s also plausible that the use of aliases served a more practical purpose—avoiding legal scrutiny. If the album relied on unauthorized or borderline-illegal copies of original soundtracks, pseudonyms would have been a strategic way to dodge potential litigation. This shadowy approach not only reflects the bold, futuristic aesthetic of the album but also mirrors the era’s culture of bootleg compilations and the lengths producers might have gone to deliver this high-energy, boundary-pushing release.
