2016 saw the release of "Swords of Steel II," the second volume of the only fantasy/horror anthology series written exclusively by members of heavy metal bands. Musicians such as E.C. Hellwell (Manilla Road and Hellwell), Byron Roberts (Bal-Sagoth), Mike Scalzi (Slough Feg), and Howie Bentley (Cauldron Born, Briton Rites) used their lyrical talents to pen tales in the traditions of Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft. DMR Books has now made available a digital compilation featuring all the bands from the second volume. The compilation can be downloaded for free and includes a PDF of excerpts from the book.

Tracklist:

1. HELLWELL - Lightwave
2. BLACKSWORD - The March
3. BAL-SAGOTH - The Splendour of a Thousand Swords Gleaming Beneath the Blazon of the Hyperborean Empire Part III
4. BRITON RITES - In Hell I Will Rule
5. SLOUGH FEG - The Final Gambit (live)
6. TWISTED TOWER DIRE - The Isle of Hydra
7. GATEKEEPER - Blade of Cimmeria (live)
8. ALMURIC - Cry of the Immortal
9. LETHEAN - Dreamer's Descent

Some rare tracks are included, such as a song from Hellwell's upcoming album "Behind the Demon's Eyes," a previously unreleased Briton Rites song, and Slough Feg performing an extended version of "The Final Gambit" live at the Alehorn of Power Festival. The compilation can be downloaded at https://dmrbooks.bandcamp.com/album/swo ... sampler-ii.
