Cataloguing My Metal Collection Pt. 38

ARTIST:  Corrosion of Conformity
ORIGIN:  Raleigh, NC (United States)
TITLE:  Blind
LABEL:  Relativity Records
YEAR:  1991
GENRE:  Thrash/Heavy Metal
FAVORITE SONG:  "Dance of the Dead"
NOTES:  This is kind of an unusual album for Corrosion of Conformity.  It was a bridge between the band's more hardcore leanings of their early years and their sludge/southern metal sound.  This is much more of a thrash/heavy metal album and featured Karl Agell on vocals, with Pepper Keenan singing one song.  It was the first album for both Keenan and Agell.  This is an energetic and highly underrated album.

Cataloguing My Metal Collection Pt. 36

ARTIST:  Various
ORIGIN:  Various
TITLE:  Skullcrushers
LABEL:  Relativity Records
YEAR:  1993
GENRE:  Various
FAVORITE SONG:  Suicidal Tendencies: "You Can't Bring Me Down"
NOTES:   This is without a doubt my favorite compilation album in my collection.  As you can tell I was picking up a lot of these things in my early years as a metalhead.  Much of the reason for that was to discover new music.  This one definitely helped.  I eventually picked up albums by every band on here with only the exception of Nuclear Assault.  And it is not as if I have been avoiding that band.  This one featured great songs by Exodus, Celtic Frost, Voivod, Death, and Obituary among others.  A terrific compilation.
