The Corroseum forum (new design under construction)

yeah when are we doing it???...i was listening to the Sirens from Hell one, and it ended up great

i was thinking we can put the best "speed"metal bands on this one

Interesting concept, but one disc is far too short for a compilation of Speed Metal. Not to mention a lot of people seem to confuse Power/Speed/Thrash so I can already see people butting heads over this...

I want a retarded metal comp! "We suck mother's blood, we eat baby's flesh, we are pervert devils well!"

I was jotting down things the other night for different compilation ideas of mine. It may be of interest here. I had best spoken intros (big list), or different cool sounding intros (eg Hammeron - Silent Victim), or ones with speeches from history (Apollo Ra - Winds of Time, Hammers Rule - Calm before the storm/After the bomb...), another one was a comp with songs about Aliens, or with sounds of wolves howling (eg High Level, Witchkiller).

I always wanted to do an instrumental one, just to see what it would be like to listen to Metal 80 minutes straight without any vocals.

Comps w/ goofy themes are always fun. I used to have one where all the songs dealt with time e.g., Helloween's 'a little time', Blind Guardian's 'time what is time', Mercyful Fate's 'time', etc.
A Tolkein-inspired comp would be kind of fun to assemble- hobbits are tr00 kvlt I've also thought of doing a zomibe and/or nuclear war-themed comp... tons of possibilities. Maybe if I have some time later this winter I'll look into this more

I've always wanted to make this just to include the mighty Brocas Helm song Into the Ithilstone!

I watched for you by the Eastern gate till the bloody break of day....

Not to mention Cirith Ungol's Cirith Ungol and many others.

That sounds like a great idea, so many great songs to choose from, i think every great band has at least one instrumental song and they often turn out to be my favourites.
Yeah, i second this suggestion and proffer "March Of The Crabs" by Anvil as a must-have inclusion.

Not a huge fan of instrumentals but there are plenty of good 'uns. My fave has always been 'Into the Unfathomed Tower' by Candlemass. I'll also give a nod to Overkill's 'frankenstein' although it's a cover tune.

Yeah I like the instru-metal idea too.

Obscurity In The Ethereal House!

How 'bout a compilation of bands called Mayhem?
Dan, är det självaste Quorthons anletsdrag du antagit? Spookü!

Instrumental compilation would be neat. There are a ton of great instrumental metal "songs" that are far more than filler,intro,outro,random classical music cover style songs. Though it would probably be good to feature at least one classical cover..my vote would be going to Vavel's take on Bach's Toccata. If you decide to go with the instrumental idea I'll surely be looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with.

If insto-metal is the case in the next comp,then Nuthin Pritty's "Long'n'Hard" is a m-u-s-t!

A fave subject of mine! And we definitely need to do a Sci-Fi theme later. Got lots of ideas for that one..
