|Bands:

A pretty cool compilation of unsigned bands; contains 15 tracks from French and Belgian bands and ranges from the more traditional end of metal and thrash (complete with some good widdly guitar solos) to something on the verge of death metal near the end.
Impressive original metal (like opening band, Syrens Call). There's no compromising the full-on metal guitars throughout this compilation - not a ballad in sight (cool!). Although there are a variety of styles on this album, they all seem to suit being together here - the order is well chosen. All of them are reasonably original, to varying degrees and make for an enjoyable compilation of metal the way it should be. However, 'Eternity' by C-One heavily “borrows” a few elements for Black Sabbath's 'Sweet Leaf' and a Led Zeppelin song!
