  • Shinaain

    I love you guys…today…for this.

  • Ten ton hammer

    Fucking rocks!

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/agmkreptile FuckYourGayEmoHaircut

    I knew if I stuck around something good would pop up…

  • steve-o

    Very cool. Thanks.

    There are 2 songs worth listening to on this sampler

    • dlux

      it’s free!

      • http://uponwingsofblack.blogspot.com/ \m/Eluveitie\m/

        That’s why I downloaded it anyway

    • http://www.roxwel.com Pick-Axe Bobby

      I was literally about to say the same thing.

      • http://www.roxwel.com Pick-Axe Bobby

        I take that back. There are 4. Not that I’m ever gonna look a gift horse in the mouth, but whatever.

        • Malacoda

          I’m going with your views. exactly.

  • mailuponmysoul

    I can’t believe how shitty this label has become. With the exception of Napalm Death and Warbringer they would have to pay me to listen to the rest of that shit.

    • TheHangingBrain

      Bitch, bitch, bitch, if you don’t like it don’t download it. Simple.

  • Discipleofthewatch

    Awesome, thanks!

  • S for Shoota

    Some rather shitty bands on here, but still going to give this a download and a nice long listen.

    Thanks!

  • groverXIII

    When I first saw this I was worried it was ICP-related…

    That said, the only song that I would want from this is the 3 Inches Of Blood track… anything else on here that I have any interest in, I already have.

  • taylor

    this is a nice thing to come across on an otherwise relatively lame friday, thanks!

  • http://www.roxwel.com Pick-Axe Bobby

    Wow, Luna Mortis is awful.

  • Kye

    It’s about 50/50 for me. But hey, it was free. I’d prefer if it was in 320kbps though. 256 is far from horrid (if it was 192, I wouldn’t even keep it on my pc), but it can be better.

    • http://uponwingsofblack.blogspot.com/ Revrant

      Aw your poor delicate ears!

  • Sammy

    I always discover at least one or two bands I’ve never heard or given a chance on these samplers. That makes it a good marketing strategy.

  • steve-o

    Is my Windows Media Player screwed up, or is only one of these tracks tagged with the artist and song titles? If it’s the latter, that’s not the most brilliant marketing strategy I’ve ever seen.

    • http://uponwingsofblack.blogspot.com/ \m/Eluveitie\m/

      Yeah I only got the Despised Icon track labled on Zune

    • groverXIII

      I haven’t downloaded it, but I retag everything I download anyway, so it wouldn’t bug me too much.

      • dlux

        yeah, had to retag everything. only took a few minutes though. there are a couple of gems in there so it’s worth it.

  • Dysenteric

    I downloaded this just to be in the know about what the kids are listening to nowadays – most of my mates listen to mainstram metal.

    Yes, the sampler’s free. But it’s mostly drivel. The Napalm Death track is the only one I would listen to more than once. Most of the other bands sounded the same, I had to keep checking the tracklist to find out who I was listening to, (most of) the music was that generic.

    I’d never heard of Luna Mortis before today. I wish that were still true. Terrible.

    • stab you

      welcome to the life of underground metal

      • Dysenteric

        I quite like the life of underground metal. Think I’ll stick around.

  • steve-o

    Wow, Luna Mortis really is terrible. Good lord…

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Tom-Campagna/40702766 Tom Campagna

      at least the chick lead singer in that band is hot. but she’s no Christina Scabbia, that’s a tough 1 to top

      • Sacajawea

        Not really sure why everyone doesn’t like that song. Listening to it now and it’s really not bad.

  • Ziltoid

    The only half-decent artist on here is Napalm Death, and I don’t even like that song. You’d have to pay me to listen to that crap.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Tom-Campagna/40702766 Tom Campagna

      even warbringer Zilty? o come on

      • Ziltoid

        I have not found a single one of these new thrash bands that I like at all. Most of it just copies the old stuff, but just isn’t as good.

        • http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/8345/outside21.jpg Revrant

          Your musical tastes differ from mine. Would you like to fight about it? You are pretty much asking for it.

          • Fong Chung

            Is this another internet fight once again on MetalSucks.net lol. Oh geez, I guess we should have seen it coming.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Tom-Campagna/40702766 Tom Campagna

    sweet a new 3IOB track. i already own napalm death, daath, lacuna coil, and warbringer. fuck iwrestledabearonce and the ibrokethespacebarcore bands or deathcore bands with stupid long names like arsonists get all the girls similar to and not limited to we butter the bread with butter. other than that i’ll sort it out and see what else might be good. thanks again fellas and btw you aren’t the only one’s with Weekend Nachos i got the album today.

    • josecarnage

      YOUR A PUSSY

  • Jonathan

    Ever since Iced Earth left this label, it’s really only got a few good bands left… it used to have a bunch. But hey, Roadrunner does this too, so if I’m getting free songs, I can’t complain.

    • Ziltoid

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88jlseWPs_o&fmt=18

      ^Proof that Iced Earth was never a good band.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Tom-Campagna/40702766 Tom Campagna

        well i went through a phase of Iced Earth. now that i look back they were ok. i only got into them because of their former drummer/ howard stern regular Richard Christy. I didn’t like death metal and when i found out he was in death at a point i figured i would check em out and struck it rich. i felt that way but it was not sustained with Iced Earth. btw richard has a new band called Charred Walls Of The Damned. check em out

        • Ziltoid

          Yes, he’s a great drummer, but only on Schaffer writes stuff for Iced Earth, so Christy’s creativity was ruined from the start. Christy did an especially great job on The Sound of Perseverance.

          • http://www.facebook.com/people/Tom-Campagna/40702766 Tom Campagna

            most definitely Bite the Pain ftw

  • http://myspace.com/biosyn teaches_of_peaches

    Shitty tracklist/roster, so I didn’t download.

  • volgarog

    YAY!

  • Greywhind

    Damn. If I didn’t already have the God Forbid and Daath albums, I would be much more excited for this. Ah well – at least I’ll probably like one or two of the other tracks.

  • Fong Chung

    Is this another Century Metalcore attempt to give out free boring products???

  • TurdFerguson

    I only downloaded this so i could play it really loud and piss my parents off. wait, i’m 40 years old and my parents are dead…what is wrong with me?

  • Sacajawea

    I love how many spoiled little fuckers there are on this site. It’s free you bitches. People used to be grateful for free stuff. I guess you’d have to grow up outside of the sheltered suburban life to realize that though. You cunts.

    • Sacajawea

      Btw, thanks guys. Good stuff on the sampler.

    • http://myspace.com/biosyn teaches_of_peaches

      Please tell me more about suburban life and how free correlates to good music, of which there is none on this sampler.

      • Ziltoid

        Thank you for having common sense. Also, last time I downloaded a CM sampler, the songs were at 128kbps, which is pretty shitty quality if you ask me. Paying for such a compressed product would be retarded. Either get the actual CD, 320kbps, v0, FLAC, or nothing at all!

  • fernando

    thank you

  • Attic

    too bad the only track I would’ve bothered checking out (the Napalm Death one) I already own the CD of.

    oh well save myself a few minutes and a few mb of space.

  • http://themusichaven.net GTB

    new Despised Icon track is sick.. unmastered or not shit owns.

  • http://www.last.fm/user/shadesofice Chris

    Too much junk on this sampler.

  • Geothermal

    Quite pleased with this, my mind has recently opened up to the -core styles so I’m enjoying the vast majority of this. Not too shabby for a Stumble.

  • ErickZ

    Sean from agatg gave me this cd at their sc show
