Century Media – “Identity Four Compilation”
This compilation is a good introduction to the Century M. family. Rotting C., Nocturnal R., and Emperor, are the very best here. These 3 bands are serious future gods of metal, if they continue on their present direction. Jag Panzer, Iced Earth, and Moonspell, are another 3 that cannot be ignored. I still don’t get why The Gathering is peddled as metal. Is Tori Amos metal too? Exodus is here with “Piranha”, but why is Exodus trying to “recreate” what cannot be re- created? I think this compilation is an accurate representation of what each band really is like.
