Various Artists “Xtreem Music Compilation”
Nothing like a free compilation to brighten your day. Actually, the back of the disc says, "If you sell this CD or pay to get it…you’re a fucking asshole!!" I am not an asshole, thank goodness. This is a great compilation of western European bands (plus one from NY). This disc contains many of those [...]

This album was put together by Lost Disciple Records to help promote the American Black Metal scene and to expose the bands to the rest of the world, and to attempt to prove that the American scene is just as strong as any other scene. Like typical ‘true’ black metal, the production on most [...]

The first question that comes to mind when seeing a tribute to Mortician is naturally "Who the fuck would make a tribute to Mortician?" If you can somehow answer that with a convincing answer, the next natural question would by "Why?" And if- by the gods- you somehow find an answer to that question, the [...]

A long time in the making and a noble effort to proudly commemorate modern bands with an old-school sound, Necropolis’ Thrashing Holocaust has one of the best titles for a CD ever, and I’m not just saying that because those two words have been largely in use by myself for several years. Actually this [...]

As if one lo-fi grindcore band is not enough, Chop2Death and Reverb Productions have joined forces to release a compilation of seven international bands. The buyer receives exactly what they were looking for: plenty of bad production, tinny sounds, muffled vocals, insane grind, political and gory topics, less than one minute songs, and a pure [...]

When I first heard that Razorback Records were putting together a tribute to Impetigo the first thought that came to mind was "Impetigo sucked, why would anyone want to pay tribute to them?", then I heard that Last Days Of Humanity, Vampiric Motives, Machetazo and Impaled recorded covers and I decided to at least give [...]

Little history lesson for those just tuning in: back in the 80’s and early part of the 90’s, Roadrunner Records was actually a decent label for thrash and death metal. They had Sadus, Immolation, Gorguts, Sepultura, Suffocation, Cynic, Pestilence, Believer, and a bunch of other lesser acts that made them a hot commodity in the [...]

There’s an interesting thing about cover albums and tribute compilations. On one hand, it’s great to see new, skilled bands breathe exciting, revitalizing life into minor classics and possibly improve on bad or flawed songs. On the other hand, the massive flood of cover compilations is ridiculously swamped with sub-par covers, crappy redux songs, and [...]

I figured since the National Hockey League was back I’d go for an all-out, Molson soaked, review session. Since this hit my eye first, I figured this disc would do fine. This is a decent compilation of bands from the frosty north, with most of the bands in the death metal realm. All of these [...]

In all honesty, I’ve never really listened to black metal much before hearing the third Blackened compilation from Metal Blade Records’ bm sub-label Blackend Records. After listening to all twenty-four tracks on the double CD, I’m very much interested in checking out other material in the genre. The first CD is the best [...]
