When Adam from Dead Media bought a new cassette player, he needed tapes to play on it. He went on the hunt at his local car boot sale, and there he found a box of unlabelled cassette tapes. These are those tapes.
He’s called them Terror Tapes.
They are not for the faint-hearted and have trigger warnings for almost everything. So, listen with caution, if you dare.
