Here is an excellent product. A full attempt to encompass nothing but Christian metal on a CD. There's no straying into metalcore or anything like that here. This is pure Christian METAL, brought to you by Dwell Records.
The track listing is as follows:
Sculpture - Spiritual Matrix
Oil - When No One Cares
Ultimatum - Never
Tyrant - No Where To Run
Solace - She Kissed Jesus
Midnight Orchestra - Cain
Sons of Thunder - Healing To My Soul
3rd Day Rising - House of Cards
Lost Angel - Gateway To Heaven
Modus Operandi - Today Is A Good Day To Die
Faithbomb - Rise Above
Devout - Martyrdom
If by some chance you had all these bands' albums you'd have all these songs, so nothing here is considered a "Newly Released" song. There were some bands on here that I had wanted to check out, and this was a great way to get to hear some of these guys. Tyrant RULES, their brand of metal is killer reminding me of the old days of Metal Church style music. I was very let down in the Devout track. Quite honestly its lower production level really didn't blend well at all with the rest of the CD. I love the speedy Ultimatum and Sculpture tracks, but I've already got those CDs.
It's a very professional production, full color insert, band info and picture for every band, nice clear tray jewel case good cover design, etc.
Bottom line it's another compilation. It's pretty cool if you're into comps.
7.5/10

Here's 12 indie bands that fly high the metal banner. Some of the standout bands here are Oil, the gothic musings of Midnight Orchestra, the rich crunch of Faithbomb (you can tell who's got some cool gear), and the slow and steady riffage…Art for the Ears 2000Reviewed by Marco PovervestHere's another sampler that's worth checking out for all metal fans worldwide. Opposed to the Extreme Metal Sampler, this CD has more variety as it has commercial metal tunes as well as extreme metal. My Dutch friends of Sculpture are here too and they have the honor to open this disc with Spiritual Matrix. It's good death metal. The second band is Oil with the same track as on Extreme ..., When…
