METAL
FOR
THE
MASSES
–
Various
With
EMI
releasing
Century
Media
bands
in South
Africa,
this
double
disc
collection
offers
a great
selection
of older
greats
contrasted
with
the
new
generation
of Metal.
The
more
distinguished
legends
include
Alice
Cooper,
Deep
Purple,
Manowar,
Whitesnake,
Scorpions,
Saxon,
Hawkwind
(before
Lemmy
departed
to form
Motörhead),
Megadeth,
and
Queensrÿche.
Female
fronted
metallers
are
not
as abundant,
but
they
make
an impact
in the
shape
of Otep,
Arch
Enemy,
and
the
less
intense
Lacuna
Coil.
The
Metal
range
on offer
covers
classic
and
melodic
crunchers
to technical
Death
Metal
and
intense
audio
explorations
that
defy
description,
from
(the
awesome)
Strapping
Young
Lad,
Sentenced,
Dream
Evil,
The
Haunted,
and
Shadows
Fall,
to God
Forbid,
Mercenary,
Nocturnal
Rites,
Machine
Men,
and
Satyricon.
You
also
get
Hell
Is For
Heroes,
Velcra,
D-A-D,
and
Thousand
Foot
Crutch.
Some
bands
started
honing
their
craft
many
years
ago,
like
Dark
Tranquility,
Iced
Earth,
and
Nevermore,
and
still
kick
majestically.
An explosive
package,
except
for
its
low-light
of the
cheesy
battle-metal
sound
of Turisas.
