I've been a Zao fan for a handful of years now. I admittedly discovered them late, and didn't even like them at first (I hadn't been exposed to metal yet, and didn't have my current appreciation for the genre), but now they are easilly--and that's an understatement--one of my favorite bands, and in many cases have set the bar for quality for other bands I choose to look into. This collection is a great way to be introduced to the band, taking you through the myriad changes they made stylistically, and in terms of band members. For someone interested in buying some of their full albums, it gives you a sampling of what they contain. While the selection of songs doesn't match my personal opinion of what some of their best are, they are by no means bad songs. There are very few Zao songs that I don't fully and enthusiastically enjoy. As a side note, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Ryan Clark of Demon Hunter had written the memoir that comprises the insert. I'm a big Demon Hunter fan, so that was an awesome bonus, and it was very enlightening on the history of the band.

The guy that just reviewed this and said it was garbage is an idiot. I am in no way, shape or form a christian but I respect Zao for their beliefs and they are an amazing band in every incarnation no matter what your walk of life. Plus anyone who supports the freedom of the WM3 deserves a ton of kudos in my book.

5.0 out of 5 stars ZAO!, April 28, 2004

The lead singer of Zao sounds like a lizard monster talking on a video game. This guy is insane: the most black of black metal vocals to Christian music. Who cares if this band left Solid State? Ferret is one of the LEADING labels in hardcore with Deathwish and Revelation(and Victory and Equal Vision every once in a while). Zao have been tearing it up for a LONG time now and I cannot WAIT for their new album: I heard it freakin KILLS!
