Pit of the Damned is an album that was
released Jan 16th, 2014. It is a compilation featuring
some of the best indie stoner and hard rock as well as punk music.
Listening through the album it seems to have an interesting mix from
all different genres. Everything from what I would label as
Alternative, to upbeat pure hard rock songs and it even has an
instrumental tracks. There is a noticeable difference of audio
quality to the tracks on the compilation, which makes for an
unpredictable listening experience. For those that enjoy long diverse
tracks, this is definitely an album you should pick up. 2 songs come
in over the 10 minute mark, and a few more that are 6 minutes or
over. The longer songs seem to make the album drag on, this time
could have been used to give the album more bands exposure.
Being
a metalhead, the tracks I was drawn to immediately was “Future”
by Solitary Crusade. This track is impressive and adding the fact
that this is a one man Italian band just shows the quality of
musicians on this compilation. Other tracks I recommend are “Dark
Surface” by microtonner, “Mauerwerk” by Acid Ocean which
reminded of old school Acid Bath. “Black” by Witchrider had a
Queens of the Stone Age vibe to it. If you are looking for something
out of the ordinary and want to step away from the same old cookie
cutter, commercialized music played by clear channel radio. Then this
is the rock compilation you must have. To purchase this album via

Rating: I give this album an insane 6
out of 10 horns \m/
