It's been nearly 10 years sonce the first volume of In The Eyes Of Death was released, and now hot on its heels comes Volume II:-)
Back then there were early recordings from Asphyx, Tiamat, Unleashed, Morgoth, Grave and Loudblast on offer. Ten years on, and both Century Media and extreme metal have come a long way, baby.
17 tracks, lasting over 70 minutes and there's definitely something for everyone. Featuring a mix of established and new bands, and with an array of new material, this is unbelievable value at £4.99! We, of course, have our own favourite CM bands and they're well represented with a superb Rotting Christ track, "Phobia", Old Man's Child and "Phantom of Mortem Tales", "Runemagick" with "The Malicious Paradise" and Evenfall with "Forbidden Tales". Four tracks worth the admission price themselves. Of the new bands on offer ...And Oceans play an absolute blinder with "Esprit De Corps". That's one album to look out for in 2001.
With unreleased material from God Forbid, Krisiun, Dark Tranquility and Aspyhx adding to the package, this is a must have.
