Just got a copy - its actually, at the very least, a hugely interesting record. So far I've spent most of the time working out who's doing what where, and then who's written each tune.

For those that don't know, its 4 "Captains" - Dino Cazares (Fear Factory), Robb Flynn (Machine Head) Joey Jordison (Slipknot) and Matt Heafy (Trivium) who write the tunes and get ANYONE from the Roadrunner roster, past and present, to play on it.

There's actually a very wide spectrum of stuff on here, and an interesting array of musicians - Tim Williams, Daryl Palumbo, Pete Steele, James Murphy, Dani Filth, Junkie XL, Rhys Fulber, Glen Benton etc etc etc - some good stuff on there!

Its not all great, but its a fantatsic concept, especially for me as I was raised on Roadrunner metal and hardcore! (Back in the day when everyting RR put out was ace....)

[Toasty]

Annihilation By the hands Of God is a killer tune.

its good enough just on the fact that jeff Waters(Annihilator)is on the record yahooo !!!!!

[Hogisbald]

Yeah, I saw that advertised, will probably buy it

this is killer. just finishing track 9 as we speak and im hooked.

[Dayeth]

I'm just listening to Akerfeldt's song.

He's making the best of what he has to work with for sure.

[Stamina]

I remember reading years ago that Glenn Benton would commit suicide when he reached the age of Jesus' death. That was about 14 or so years ago. Anyone know the story of how he pussied out of that one?

[Demon Of The Fall]

he deicided not too...

arf arf

[Teabags]

he got married in a church.
arf arf,

but seriously. he did.

[HateEvent]

What a wimp!

I've only heard 3 of the songs from this CD, I only like Annihilation By The Hands Of God. The others are 'Enemy Of The State' and 'The End'.

Is this CD worth looking into for the rest of it?

[Bonesaw Bazz]

i'm sure his revised statement went along the lines of. "I was waiting for a sign from satan that it was the time for me to die" he must have been expecting it to happen at , 34 was it? But he has had a kid so unsurprising he fabricated some lame get outta jail card.
