Contrary to what some of these other definitions of the "Wall of Death" it was a ritual that began in hardcore mosh-pits circa 1986. To be a little more precise it began at City Gardens in Trenton NJ. And despite what it evolved into originally it was NOT two sides of the pit rushing at each other. When we first started doing it we'd back up in a semi-circle towards the back of the room then rush the stage and in the ensuing crush and rush of bodies comepletely wipe out any dumb-asses that A: had no clue what was going on. And B: wipe out (usually the same dumb-asses mentioned above) anybody that had no business being at a hardcore show back in those days. Just from somebody that was there when and where it began.
