release notes:
Time to Kill Records is ready to bring the curtain down on another
murdersome tribute compilation curated once again by Alberto Penzin
(Schizo original founding member and prime mover for the whole Italian
extreme metal scene). To quote him, "Celtic Frost was simply the epitome
of everything the metal genre had set to demolish. Only Death is real."
Barbarian: Bringing a regressive approach to Metal by means of Metal
retro-gardism they interrogate the present: do we really need so many
sheep and shepherds today? Heavy Metal is the whip and you bleed. They
take on "A Kiss or a Whisper" from 1990's "Vanity/Nemesis".
Bunker 66: An Evil Metal power trio formed in 2007 under the sign of the
black mark, they have been bringing a hybrid of Black Metal and Thrash to
the King's table with no less than seven split EPs and four albums with
themes of Nuclear War and Anti-Religion. They take on "Juices Like Wine"
from 1988's "Cold Lake".
Camera Obscura Two: is a new extreme musical project conceived by
Alberto Penzin [ex-Schizo] on 09/09/07 and ultimately brought to life on
10/10/10. A one-way pathway to spiritual elevation filtered through a
lifetime worth of obsession with metallic transgression. They take on "I
Won't Dance (The Elders' Orient)" from 1987's "Into The Pandemonium".
Doomraiser: Formed in 2004, the Rome-based band have evolved into an
instantly recognisable figurehead for those pushing doom metal into
crushing new directions. Through the years the band have shared the stage
with acts such as Electric Wizard, Reverend Bizarre, The Gates of Slumber
and Orange Goblin and have been experimenting and contaminating their
music with raw heavy metal, psychedelia and other influences. They take
on "Procreation of the Wicked" from 1984's "Morbid Tales", which was of
course famously covered by Sepultura.
Kryptonomicon: A plague on this Earth since 2019, composing fierce old
school metal of death deeply influenced by Celtic Frost and Hellhammer.
2022's "Infernalia" marked the bands sophomore album in style... with a
cover of "Let's Dance" by David Bowie. They take on "Morbid Tales" from
1984's "Morbid Tales".
Necrodeath: The moment you hear it, you know it's Necrodeath. Formed back
in 1984, the Italian act is one of the real iconic black-thrash metal
bands. With an ongoing career of almost 40 years, the band has helped to
shape the Italian metal scene and the international underground as it is
today. They take on "Necromantical Screams" from 1985's "To Mega
Therion".
