Nuclear Blast has always been one of those labels with a vast amount of high quality metal bands. With every genre represented, the label keeps on growing and they have just delivered a new collection of the latest singles of their bands. A two-disc best-of as you could call it of some of the finest metal nowadays, containing nothing less but twenty bone hard tracks.
Starting off with Communic and their latest single Destroyers Of Bloodlines, we continue this musical metal journey with bands such as Origin, Amorphis and two songs of Symphony X. Was it hard for the Nuclear Blast team to choose only one single track? Possibly, but it's undeniable that both tracks (Dehumanized and The End of Innocence) are extremely strong pieces of music. Don't even make me choose, since I just can't make up my mind which one's best and which one isn't. Simply take it as it is: Symphony X got their place on this best-of record for a reason. Apparently this counts for other bands as well, since Amorphis, Hell and Graveyard have two songs on this album as well. Other bands to be found on this release? Pain, Hammerfall, Scar Symmetry, Chrome Division, Before The Dawn, Die Apokalyptischen Reiter, Destruction, Korpiklaani and Flotsam And Jetsam.
I guess you get the picture. With these new best-of singles of Nuclear Blast, you're in for a treat of some of the finest metal of these days!
