And so, finally: "Norway Rocks"!

About halfway through it; I'm playing the tracks out of order so I can hear both tracks by each band back-to-back.
Slap my cheeks and call me Rosy! This is some killer stuff! Rarely do i sit and just stare at the computer slack-jawed, but that's what i've been doing for a good chunk of these songs so far (Anesthesia, Manitou, and Thunderdome down, typing as Shellshock is playing). Manitou's 'flyin away' really floored me!
What else can I say? It's definitely living up to the hype! Thanks again for re-posting it!

Agreed -- this is killer.

Precisely. That thought is always nagging me when I hear great compilation/1-7"-only bands like these

What's Metal Inferno? I've never heard of that one.

I'm halfway through Norway Rocks and I'm very surprised by how good it is.

The MANITOU cd "Entrance" is available from www.cdon.com

Anesthesia also recorded a two song demo called "Inception" before splitting up. Then the band devolved into Spiral Architect.
