Through The Eyes Of The Dead
Malice
Prosthetic
38:40 - 11 Tracks
Brutal, melodic, heavy, fast, all that cool stuff you come to expect from new american metal. They have a new vocalist (Nate formerly of Premonitions of War) …I almost said “lead singer” I guess with the brutal growls, “singing” wouldn’t be appropriate! The drumming is insane, guitar work is pretty cool, reminds me a little of Lamb of God. It’s nice to just have all out brutal metal releases… you’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Soil
Throttle Junkies
Crash
58:43 - 17 Tracks
A re-release of their first album with bonus tracks. This has been out of print for some time… so if you’re a newer fan of Soil and missed out on this the first time around, it might be for you! It’s a decent straight-ahead hard rock album, and when it came out, it was definitely Mosh Pit material… now? Give a call or email and request it!

The Cult
Dirty Little Rock Star (Single)
Roadrunner
3:40 - 1 Track
Well, it’s a song from The Cult. Have you heard The Cult? If you have, then you already know what this song sounds like. It’s good, it’s not a step back, not a step forward, just new stuff from The Cult! You’ll probably hear this on the Mosh Pit.

Coalesce
There Is Nothing New Under The Sun
Hydra Head
56:20 - 15 Tracks
This is a re-release plus other stuff from their 1999 EP of Led Zeppelin covers. There are a bunch of other covers on here too as well. These are pretty good “hardcore” versions of the Zep songs. I’ve never heard LZ songs done in quite this way before! You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Heaven and Hell
3 song EP
Rhino
15:42 - 3 Tracks
This is just a sampler with 2 live tracks and a studio track from “The Dio Years”  It’s good stuff… You’ll hear it and I can’t wait to see this show!

Hemlock
Bleed The Dream
Candlelight
44:21 - 12 Tracks
A metal band from Las Vegas.. it’s thrashy, but on the edge of brutal with some hardcore mixed in.  Produced well, clean sounding and heavy!  You should hear this on the Mosh Pit.

Other releases not here yet… But from their respective myspace profiles, they sound decent, so if they arrive, you’ll hear them!

Anubis Gate, Andromeda Unchained (Locomotive Music)
Point One, Unlucky Stars (Adrenaline Music Group)
Silent Force, Walk The Earth (Locomotive)
