Richard R. Anasky's "I am Vengeance" makes Rob Zombie's Devils Rejects look like the Wizard of Oz.Pure, unrelenting splatter gore.The soundtrack features several bands from the burgeoning stoner/doom rock scene,plus dialouge clips from the film and score pieces:the liner notes contain lyrics,film stills and commentary from Anansky.Bands included are Pentagram,Eternal Elysium,Blood Farmers,sHEAVY and Naevus.Standout track;Burning a Sinner by Eternal Elysium.Excellent introduction for anyone new to the stoner/doom scene.   CCCC

An Industrial/Electronica masterpiece.NUFF SAID.CCCCC

Along with the late great Dimebag Darrell,Corrosion of Conformity' Pepper Keenan and Alice in Chains Jerry Cantrell,the southern metal outlaw himself,Zakk Wylde is among the elite of riff meisters.Not to mention a damn good songwriter.This best of collection shows Zakk is quite capable of holding court all his own without the help of his famous friends.

Orchestral-Infused thrash metal produced by Andy Sneap,(NEVERMORE,MACHINE HEAD).Another of the new "forward thinking" metal bands,BIO-MECHANICAL take the black metal/orchestral formula of EMPEROR and DARK THRONE to a whole new level,with great success.The 4 part Absolution epic is masterful.Includes a bonus video of the title track.CCC

Pure apocolyptic noise bliss.If there were to be a soundtrack for the end of this stinking world,this would be it.Visions of radioactive skies and scorched earth can be seen while listening to this work of art.Many have tried to capture this style of noise music,and failed miserably.This is how its done.Standout track;Crawl.Splendid CCCCC

In the tradition of fellow brazilian legends SEPULTURA and RATO's De PORAO,hardcore upstarts AGROTOXIO are making quite a name for themselves here in the states.They have been around for years,but this is the bands first full length to get decent distribution.Sadly this release dosent capture the brutality served at their live shows.A promising future.CCC
