As far as I know, Arise Skates is a soundtrack to a Christian video movie that I can't seem to find (if anyone knows anything on this, by all means, let me know. It's been dogging me for five years now).
I would recommend this little-known compilation CD to those who're looking for a couple of classic hard-to-find tunes, and are quite prolific at hitting the skip button on the CD player. Why? The heavy cuts- 7th Angel's "Tormented Forever", The Crucified's "Hellcorn" and "Your Image", and Bride's "Everybody Knows My Name" are sandwiched between such Top 40 and rap fare as Stephen Wiley, D.O.C., One Way Up, and S.F.C.
Far too few heavy cuts to warrant anything more than a casual listen, but at least they're rarities, and for the $2 asking price at most mail order stores, it could stand a casual investment (just remember to demand $1.50 back in change). . .
