NEW SHIT 12 / VARIOUS

The FREE sampler series form Roadrunner continues with 87 tracks from the current and up coming releases.

Chinaira, "Nothing Remains"

This is an absolute storming track from the upcoming self titled album, I have only heard this track but if the rest of the album is half as good it could well be their best album yet.

Devildriver, "Hold Back The Day"

This is a fine track form their just released 2^nd CD and continues where the last one left off, Dez is on top form and if you like this you will love "The Fury Of Our Makers Hands from which it is taken.

Obituary, "Insane"

After nearly 8 years the band return with their very distinct sound and a welcome return it is too, Death Metal Obituary style that deserves to be heard.

Betzefer, "Fu**in’ Rock ‘N’ Roll

Taking their inspiration from Pantera and Sepultura this is Israel’s entry into the world of Metal and welcome it is too, if you like either of the two bands you will love "Down Low" from which it came.

Throwdown and A Life Once Lost are both releases from the Trustkill licensing deal and better example of the current state of Hardcore you will not find anywhere else. That leaves us with Madball who are back and newly signed to the RR roster and "For My Enemies" is a taste of things to come and will please quite a few people.

TOTAL PLAYING TIME = 26 mins + 7 TRACKS
