| Info: |
Quite a mystery, this one. Released on a major label, yet barely any info can be found about the album or the featured bands. I've come across a vague reference to a Vol.2, but we'll have to call this Unconfirmed for the time being. The uncredited tracks are instrumental interludes made by various band members and studio musicians. (Click the back sleeve for more info) All in all one of the strangest compilations I've ever come across. |

Tracklist side A:
- Preludio
Very Metal-sounding, evil pep-speach over "haunting" sound effects. (Killer Fox anyone?) - WORKSHOP - Bad Words
Waaaay too Van Halen-sounding after such an intro. The usual instrumental guitar wankery. - WATERFALL - The Fighter
Another instru.. no wait there's vocals. More wankery, but with a heavier, neo-classical approach and actually quite good.
My doG... A drum solo. Why?- RISE - Metallo 5
Instrumental. More "Proglo" than "Metallo", but quite listenable if you're in the mood.
Tracklist side B:
- EAST - Exotic Escape
Slick, symphonic Prog Metal(?) that won me over thanx to a healthy dose of originality. - SUBWAY FORCE - Rainbow Fire
BOOM!! A simply fantastic Power Metal 10/10'er, alone making this album worth the hunt. Try not raising your fist to this one, I dare you!
"Sound experiment" consisting of some guitarnoise over a heartbeat sound effect. This is reaching Metal Enterprises-levels of schizo..- MRS. INGRID - The Poison Tree
Quirky, more off-the-wall "Real" Prog w/ heavy guitars than "Prog Metal". An instrumental once again. - Variazione IV
Guitar solo. - Ripresa
More Killer Fox-like spoken stuff, telling us that Italian Metal just resurrected.
..into keyboard-oriented jazz rock apparently. And with more dumb sound effects of course.
