Various Artists - Obscure Anthems AA.VV (2013)
Compilation albums and label samplers
are a great way to come across new bands, and on this offering from
Radioactive Records, twelve different groups get the chance to
represent themselves. About half of the tracks are heavy rock, but
there's also some traditional heavy metal (in the form of Sideburn, who start off the album), gothic metal
(Cpt. Kronos, with the creaking "Queen Of The Night"), traditional doom metal (provided by Sulphurea and Fever Dog, as well as
Spirit Caravan's faithful cover of a Saint Vitus song), plus some space
metal (mainly in the song from Cosmic Fool). It's a nice delving into the collection of
artists Radioactive Records has to offer, and if you're looking to
explore some new heavy music while enjoying a beer and looking
forward to summer, this will do it up a treat. Keep your ears open, and you might find a few bands you'll want to give further investigation.
