I’m most taken with Collide’s “Obsession,” Sin’s “Skin,” and Ex-Voto’s “Monitor.” Their use of industrial elements add a whole new level of haunting madness.
Recorded live at the sold-out Oi!/Skalloween festival at Coney Island High, NYC in ’95, Skalloween combines old-time ska, ska/punk, and punk rock on one CD.
A Tribute to Judas Priest compiles established metal bands who were obviously inspired by Priest and fought by their side as true defenders of the faith.
This comp has no theme, it’s not a tribute/benefit. It’s just flat-out unadorned rock ‘n’ roll music, loud ‘n’ coarse ‘n’ white trash, like it’s supposed to be.
With very few exceptions, the bands here don’t even perform their cover with competence, and most are not even close. Most just play the song a bit faster.
