Oldies but goodies...
A good chance for die hard fans because some of these songs were released only in cassette and LP. Like any other "Greatest Hits", not all our favorite groups or songs are included, but anyway, BMG did a decent effort to gather a bunch of great bands from the Roadrunner's catalog.

1. "Inner Self" (Sepultura)
2. "Dead by Dawn" (Deicide)
3. "Slowly We Rot" (Obituary)
4. "Sacrificial Annihilation" (Malevolent Creation)
5. "Dawn of Possession" (Immolation)
6. "Infecting the Crypts" (Suffocation)
7. "Zero Tolerance" (Death)
8. "La Ley de Plomo" (Brujeria)
9. "Stench of Paradise Burning" (Disincarnte)
10. "Veil of Maya" (Cynic) .


Some Of The Greatest Songs Of Death Metal
I bought it sometime in early 2001. This is one of my favorite death metal compilations in my collection. I bought this compilation because 5 of the songs on it appeared on studio albums by bands from the former Roadrunner Records death metal roster and those studio albums that were released were discontinued. Some songs here have also appeared on those old At Death's Door compilation albums also issued by Roadrunner which are discontinued as well. Anyway, knowing the unavialibility of those old discontuined albums, knowing that those old compilation cassettes will not last forever and just for the sake of keeping the availability of those songs alive in my collection, that was the main reason for buying this CD and I'm glad I did.

Before I go on, let me not forget to mention that some of the albums that were discontinued have recently been released. Some are released as "2 albums in one" combos, some as Best Of's and some as individual re-issues with bonus tracks. You can find those in major records stores, the catalog section at the Roadrunner website and even here at Amazon. com. Let me also not forget that the other songs on this album appear on albums that were never discontinued and again, you can find those albums that feature these songs in major record store as well as the Roadrunner website and here at Amazon. com.

Now for my review. This is a death metal compilation album that contains songs that have made an impact in the world of death metal or at lease as BMG sees it. Knowing what kind of company BMG is, it might seem laughable and ridiculous or maybe sacrilegious, blasphemous and insulting to us true death metal heads but in another sense, the company have done their homework. While a lot of the songs here might have impacted death metal in a way, one must not forget and true death metal heads would agree that there are no such thing as hits or hit singles in the world of death metal because it's all about the sincere love for the music and not about the mainstream or the lastest trend. With all that said, the album itself should not be looked at as a joke but looked at as an honest collection of old school death metal which is what it truly is. So this album gets a thumbs up. Some of my favorite songs here are Inner Self by Sepultura, Dead By Dawn by Deicide, Sacrificial Annihilation by Malevolent Creation, Zero Tolerance by Death and The Stench Of Paradise Burning by Disincarnate. So buy this album and crank it up.
