The best part about this compilation is that it has something for all types of metalheads. It's not constricted by subgenre; you'll find the likes of Skeletonwitch, Kylesa, Pelican, Boris and Red Fang here, among others.
The track from Jesu, "Dethroned," is one of our favorites. We've heard plenty of Jesu before, but the meshing of mechanized vocals and metal is still weird to us. It sounds like what would happen if you gave a bunch of sludge bands a vocodor and let them release a track. It's still a solid song, albeit a rather strange one.
As we mentioned, the album hops around from song to song for a killer cross section of different styles of metal. If we had to pick an overall winner of a track here, though, we'd certainly go with Boris's "Luna," which closes the album out in absolutely epic form. Epic, as in it's ten minutes long -- and absolutely brutal all the way through.
You can snag the whole album free here. And now, if you'll excuse us, we have horns to raise and heads to bang.
