Kingdom Come-Hard rock. I understand that the album after this one was what invented "Heavy Metal" and Sir Lord Baltimore's the first band to go by the Heavy Metal moniker; but this was nowhere near metal. This is more of rock meets 80s love ballads (although this was a late 60's release). It is true that this is where the birth of metal came from, but this was more of it's pre-roaming ground. Recommended for fans of: MC5, Led Zeppelin, (early) Flower Travellin' Band. Overall Rating: 4/10
In Memoriam-Compilation of the best Living Sacrifice songs including 3 new songs. This was pre-breakup era of LS. These are all my favorites LS songs. Recommended for fans of: Death, Thrash, and tech-groove metal. Overall Rating: 9.9/10
The Red Sea-Early era Isis. More along the lines of old school sludge mixed with hardcore compared to their newer atmospheric sludge. My version came with the 1998 demo. The demo is even more raw than The Red Sea EP. Recommended for fans of: sludge. Overall Rating: 6/10
Blunted At Birth-First release by cannibal corpse parody pot metallers Cannabis Corpse. This was recorded with an 8-track and then rereleased on CD. The songs are more raw than "Tube Of The Resinated", but it's style and sound is just as good. It's only downside is that there aren't as many memorable tracks that you can really favoritize. Recommended to fans of: Municipal Waste & Cannibal Corpse. Overall Rating: 7/10
Oceanic-On my top favorite releases. Have listened to it beyond 40 times in the 2 months or so that i have owned the CD. It's sound is very relative to Panopticon and In The Absence Of Truth. This was their first album that they got deep into their atmosphere, although they did progress to it over their career. You actually get the atmosphere of being on the ocean when you listen to it. Just floating away with the one you love. Recommended to fans of: Kenoma, Giants, Giant, and Irreversible. Overall Rating: 76543245678543456787543456789/10
