This is an cool compilation, put out by the lovely fellows at Panic Inc., a local (sort of) label who've put out a lot of sick, kick ass music over the years. This release is a compilation whose stated purpose is to benefit the homeless and less fortunate amongst us, all proceeds generated going to help them and all that, and this comp is chock full of lots of tasty Local talent, some still active, some long dormant, and all the bands on here span a wide, diverse musical assault that highlights the talent inherent in all the bands present, bands ranging from the mathematical musical wizardry of The Bitters, the Viking operatic Thrash of Drouth, the slogan spitting in your face Punx of Opposition Rising, to the nightmarish howlings of Local legends Vihan Rytmi (RIP). Other Local bands of note on here are Back Stabbath (first song from their demo I believe), Faceplant, Unfair Fight, Life's Torment, Dr. Phobic & The Phobic-Tones, and Alarido, a criminally underrated band of note. This comps got a little bit of something for everyone, as long as you can stomach noisy thrash leanings, a sound which a majority of these bands on this release are testing the boundaries of. Never gets boring, that's for sure! Yeah, kudos to Panic Inc. for putting together a good compilation for a great cause. 39 songs for $7. What a deal! Some interesting stuff on here - check it out! 😀

Brought to you by Panic Inc., so you have them (him) to thank for this release. I believe it's only available digitally via Bandcamp, and you can click here to check that out to download and donate if you're interested. All proceeds from the sale of this compilation will be generated annually to help fight poverty, and that's a super cool thing to get behind. Salud!
