18 tracks, maxing out at just over 70 minutes of metal, most sub-genres represented. Groove-oriented nü metal allows the indulgence of black/Goth/dark metal.
Cunningly disguised as a piece-of-shit punk comp, this masterpiece of “audio salvation” will entertain you with the fresh sounds of today’s hottest artists.
The Anniversary is a group of ex-punk rockers playing them “emo” chords backed with keyboards. The only thing that sets them apart is that they’re better.
Quality is high, unknowns Mystic Force and Psycho Scream doing well, bigshots like Deceased and Memory Garden get the nod. Soilwork whip “Egypt” into a frenzy.
You can tell “Mod” is in when an emo band now sounds like it’s trying to grab the scraps from MC5, the Stooges, and The Jam. This just sounds forced to me.
