having recently become more and more interested in underground dark music and less and less interested in whatever the hell was playing on the radio, i've begun to use my music funding (6 bucks an hour really isn't so bad..) to buy underground metal compilation albums, mostly in the genres of gothic and black metal. This album was one excellent sampler of the artists of the artistic encouragement that are the Elfenblut and Misanthropy labels. Granted, these songs typically aren't the best by these artists, most are still excellent. What i really love about this album is it shows that you can have many styles of music by different artists on the same cd without things sounding disjointed. From the dark, bizarreness of Stormbringer and Beyond Dawn, both of which consist of odd synth and sampling coupled with oddly distributed guitar lines and vocals mixed between singing and spoken word, we then have the pagan metal of Primordial and Solstice, the raging abstractness of Burzum, the utter insanity of Mayhem, the ambient, beautiful violin and dreamlike female vocals of Amber Asylum, the pagan folk music of Hagalaz Runedance and the atmospheric floating of Monumentum and Aphrodisiac...along with a couple more excellent tunes which i don't have space to mention. While these may not be the best bands in their respective genres, this album is still an excellent trip into the dark, twisted and highly expressional realm of dark music...it just might change your life and your musical taste! It's completely impossible to compare music like this to ANYTHING in current popular music.Read more ›

Dark as a coal mine. I got it because I'd heard one or two of the bands featured, and it was under ten bucks. This multi-label sampler fits right in alongside your Cold Meat Industries albums.
The variety of songs is a pleasant surprise. The whole thing sort of rallies around Nordic black metal rogue Burzum ("Et Hvitt Lys Over Skogen"). The liner notes are worth a couple of bucks themselves; each band weighs in on the issue of censorship. These comments bracket a well-written essay titled "Presumed Guilty."
Ignoring the political theme of the CD, the rock songs RAWWKK, the dark ambient songs are cavernous, and the black metal tracks are fierce. Dream Into Dust starts it off well with the slow, clanky "Stormbringer." The dark mood continues through the rest of the album. Hagalaz' Runedance ("The Oath He Swore One Winter's Day") is what a kinder, gentler Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud would sound like. This singer also has the best comments on censorship.
Primordial's "Journey's End" is a great blend of 70's prog rock and 80's metal. Then Burzum turns it up a notch with his track (I'm too lazy to type it again). I can't understand his demonic shrieking, but it has a strong rhythm. The next song is a total change of gears, Amber Asylum's "Dreams of Thee." Kris Force's beautiful, sinister ballad is an etheral standout. The sonic climax of the album is Mayhem's "Ancient Skin," a piece of absolutlely insane speed-metal. More hellish shrieking. Beyond Dawn ("Need") is great if you're a Swans fan. Monumentum's "The Colour of Compassion" is a good finale, sort of a lounge-darkwave sound.
This is a good sampler for dark music, and provides some good reading on the current state of music censorship in Europe. It's probably even better if you can read German.
