This is reviews of compilation CDs.
Please note:
It is impossible to rate split CDs and compilation CDs with help of stars. There is too big difference between the included bands/tracks on the split CD/compilation CD.
You have to read the review itselves to find our opinion.

V/A "The First Cuts" CD (Plague Records)
Not entirely sure if the label wants me to review this or it is sent so that
I can familiarize myself with the bands of this label, but in any case here
is a review for this 53-minute compilation.
This is a mixed bag, as one would expect. All 13 bands are playing brutal
Death Metal and all contribute one song each, but the quality of the songs
and their recording values greatly varies. One can hear truly great songs
(Vomitory), solid deliveries (Mangled, Diabolic, Invasion) but also not at
all great stuff (Thornspawn, Monstrosity). It has to be said though that
this release is a very good way to hear what this Dutch label (that up until
the end of '99 used to be called Fadeless), has to offer.
