Where can I
get the CD?
Various artists - In the shadow of death |
|
This it the CD I have been waiting for since Pilgrim, of Crimson Moonlight,
last winter told me that Samuel Durling of Endtime will release an extreme
metal complilation this summer. And later, when Samuel told me which bands that
will be included I started counting the days to the release date... Or what do you think about bands like: Extol, Crimson Moonlight, Sanctifica, Vaakevandring and Drottnar? Plus a lot more! Wonderful! How shall I start? Well first of all I have to say that I was most of all waiting to hear the new Crimson Moonlight song. That's because they are my absolutely favorite band. So now you wonder if they lived up to the expectitions? Well let's go through them all..: 1.Parca Pace - Chrysalis. (1:30) A short metal intro is what we get here. A good introduction about what is soon going to happen... 2.Vaakevandring - Fall of Man (4:33) Amen and rejoice!!! Suddenly Vaakevandring has left their old boring slowly played folk-black and has put in some extra gears and produced one of the best black-songs Victory ever has heard! Absolutly perfect and wonderful lyrics as well! 3.Lengsel - Revival (6:15) Progresseive black metal. I think most of you know the band and know that they're playing high quality metal. If you don't own their release "Solace"...shame on you! Go and buy it at once! 4.Schaliach - Purple filter (4:52) I love their release "Sonrise" and this song continues in the same era. Ole rules! For every fan of Schaliach. 5.Sanctum - Stone (8:30) I am not a fan of industrial metal (but perhas one day I'll be???) so I am not the right person to judge this song, perhaps I'll ask some of my friends to review it...? 6.Crimson Moonlight - Blood covered my needs (3:46) So this was the track that I was eagerly waiting for. And what did I get? All that I was waiting for and a lot more! The only dissapointment is that the clocking time is "only" 3:46...I want more of this!!!! See ya next year at bobfest guys...! 7. Antestor - Spiritual Disease (6:42) Their music ruled at bobfest and they still rule on this CD! Excellent song with very cool lyrics! 8.Extol - Inferno (5:40) Do I have to say anything about this band?? Ok one word for ya: UNDECIEVED!!!! 9.Mental Destruction - Your Dying Soul (4:41) Look at pont 5. But I have to say that even if I am not an industrial fan this piece is quite intresting. 10.Anaemia - The Second Incarnation (4:56) Perhaps a quite old song, but I still love it! Look at the full Anaemia review for further information. 11.Sanctifica - Riket (4:36) Sanctifica is another of my favorite bands (how on earth did S. manage to get all of them!?!?!!!) This tune is from their recently release album "Spirits of purity" And this is black metal at its best! This is another band thay you cannot afford to miss! 12.Vardoger - Footprints of Thunder (3:10) This was the most suprisingly stuff that I found on this CD. I had never heard them before but now I love them and I want more of them!! Classical folk-black metal is what we recieve and I love it! 13.Absurd - Wisdom (4:08) Quite intresting technical metal with some influences from others is what we get. I think that I am not the right person to say anyting about it...so I leave for you! 14.Drottnar - Trelleband Maa Briste (6:22) Ahhh! More Drottnar!!! I loved their full-lenght CD and I love this piece too. Raw black metal! Very primitive and simple yet beautiful! 15.Nebulon - Enough (5:49) Another Industrial piece look at point 5. So now you perhaps got a little idea about what is happening on the CD. And I have to tell you that it IS one of the best CD's that have been released lately. With such wonderful tracks like Vaakevandring's Fall of Man and Crimson Moonlight's Blood Coverd my needs this one will be difficult to challange! I will hearby announce that this is the CD of the summer of 2000 for Victory, abosolutey a masterpiece that you cannot afford to miss! |
