Great compilation - This is one of the best Solid State compilations. Mostly becuase of Living Sacrifice and Zao, and of course Blindside. Great CD to buy when looking for a new metal artist
Buy it. - This album introduced me to death metal, it absolutly blew my mind. This only the second of my 50 cds I v given five stars. Top cuts from Extol, Zao, Living Sacrafice, Blindside, and Focal Point. If u like black metal, thrash metal, or just great death metal this album has it all. Only one of the 16 songs is boring (Training For Utopia) Buy it if u like heavy musik and u will not be dissapointed.
This is Solid State Vol. 1 - This is a great compiliation of the artist on the solid state records. It puts the power of harcore and heavier music right at your fingertips.
