    A short note about each band. Feast Eternal - Double bass overdosed deathmetal. Not bad though; Israel - Quality-wise poorly recorded death metal with soaring growls and occasional hisses; Maximum Pentacost - Brazilian death metal. Nice intro and at times interesting; Goredeath - Weird combination of harsh gnarling and repetitious singing; Quejidos Del Seol - Death metal from Panama with Spanish lyrics. So far one of the better contributions; NOIZ - The German Mortification. Dark and deep grunting with fast and midtempo parts. Good playing but the recorded quality should be improved in order to enjoy it more; Grim - Atmospheric black metal, yet without vocals. Monotone; Bedrata Dezum - Poorly recorded deathmetal but what I can discern is not bad; Clemency - Quality-wise a better recorded grindcore piece. Musically interesting; Pronounced Dead - Recorded live. Death metal with doomy parts; Getsemani - Atmospheric black metal with a soprano and deathy vocals. The soprano is mediocre; Tortured Conscience - 120 mph death metal. Not bad at all; Sculpture - Good death metal though the sound could have been more fat; Antidemon - Brutal death metal with deep guttural grunts. Simple but pretty good; Vaakevandring - Atmospheric black metal with potential; Crimson Thorn - Not bad. Death metal, but I don't like the vocals being mixed so loud; Salutary - Interesting thrashcore with black metal parts. The overall quality of Screams Of Abaddon is underground (demo-ish) with a few good exceptions. The second half is the better half. But it's a good way to get introduced to these underground bands.

Well we've all got our own copies of Prison of Flesh so hearing a track from there's not a big hit. However if you don't have their CD this is the tease that will ensure you get it. From there Screams of Abaddon starts to head down hill, mostly production wise. Many bands on this comp were bands I…Dead Zine 2000Reviewed by GrindboyThis is a pretty good comp for any fans of the death/black type stuff. 17 tracks of nothing but brutality!!! Feast Eternal starts things off right with a track from their debut album, and if you (like me) are lame and still don't have it, this will bump it right up to the top of your "get now" list. There are a couple tracks that have that effect, actually, when you add on a song from…
