VARIOUS ARTISTS

This 14 track document of the Tattoo The Earth Tour, which paired metal musicians with tattoo artists and piercers for a cross country romp this summer, is loud, profane, loud, irreverent, loud, rebellious, loud, and, well, it's a fairly high volume affair.

Fuckin' A.

With aural assaults from a lineup including Slipknot, Slayer, Sevendust, Sepultura, Hatebreed, Mudvayne, (hed) pe, Nothingface, The Workout Movement, U.P.O. and Nashville Pussy, the disc covers a reasonably wide range of contemporary metal styles. It's a good way to catch up with some newer acts if you haven't been paying attention, and a good way to check in with some old favorites, too. This one belongs in every metal- head's stocking this year. If it's not in yours, get your own.

And turn it the fuck up.

Track List:

Slipknot/Liberate * Slayer/Stain Of Mind * Sevendust/Waffle * Sepultura/ Choke * Hatebreed/I Will Be Heard * Slipknot/Surfacing * Mudvayne/Dig * Slayer/Chemical Warfare * (hed) pe/Waiting To Die * Sevendust/Too Close To Hate * Nothingface/Can't Wait For Violence * The Workhouse Movement/ Keep The Sabbath Dream Alive * U.P.O./Dust * Nashville Pussy/Go To Hell
