Distributor: PIAS
Release date: September
Release: CD

Nuclear Blast is an independent major record label with smaller companies in Germany (where it was founded by Markus Staiger), the U.S., and Brazil. To name some of the bands under their belt are: Meshuggah, Nile, Death,….

And as a record company, you always try to look for new ways to promote your bands, what is getting harder and harder these days. So Nuclear Blast again releases a sort of compilation album with new upcoming material from different bands
This time, the label released a 15 track counting album, with a line up consisting of bands like: Accept, Exodus, Sabaton, Sonic Syndicate, Soilwork, Madball, and many many big names more witch each deliver some of their best and latest work/singles. Witch all sound fairly amazing in their own way.

So you’ll definitely find something you like on this compilation record, but there is like always a downside to something like this. Would you buy this and get the singles of your favorite band and many more or will you save your cash until the album gets out? Also something that slightly bothers me is that Nuclear Blast releases a bit to much of these lately, I think it would be better to have something like this every 6 months or so. Also don’t forget that due to this formula you get a varied album with different genres on it.
