Screams of Abaddon II
Dysmorphic Records has released the second installment of Screams of Abaddon and shows improvement over the first release. This is a compilation comprised of death and black metal bands exclusively, and is mostly underground bands that your typical "Christian bookstore junkie" will have never heard of. Despite the non-popularity of most of these bands, there is some good music here to digest, along with a few throw-aways. The main obstacle most will need to look past is the inconsistent production. Some bands sound pretty decent, but others really suffer production-wise. Of the 15 bands, the standouts are Sympathy, Syringe, Encryptor, Benevolence, Soul of the Savior, Exousia, and Sorrowstorm. The packaging is pretty decent, and although lyrics are not included, there are links to all the band's websites so you can check them out in more detail. You can pick this release up for only $7.00 at Wretched Earth Distribution: http://hildebrand.envy.nu/ [Dysmorphic / Matt Morrow]
