So lately people have been throwing around the idea of a Victoria Metal Compilation.... Jesse had a good point there... if it's going to get done, you'll have to do it yourself...

So I'm thinking that I'll do it... I figure 12 to 15 tracks... one track per band... and the proceeds of the album go to improvements at the Tolmie Hell House...

This prick up any ears?

Any bands that are interested can email me at [email protected]

It's been way too long since there's been a good album highlighting the entire Victoria Metal scene... in fact, I can't even think of one thats been done before.... but there's a hell of alot of kick ass metal coming out of Vic lately, so why not put it all in one place?...

Opinions anyone?

Good idea. Yeah all I posted was an example, there was a lot of defunkd bands in that list. Question: Gorilla Monsoon are still together?!? And I thought bands like Sooke Skids, Self Inflicted and FNM were punk bands?!? - Mon, 5 Dec 2005 3:13pm

I think that since it's for the Hell House, it should be a shit mix of the bands that have played there. You could do it once a year, with one song for each band, and even better is if it's all recorded there too...meybe a little late for this year though. Griphin, Sooke Skids aren't punk at all, they just smell like it. - Mon, 5 Dec 2005 5:35pm

Heh... well I dunno, I've never seen Sooke Skidz live, they planning on doing any all-agers soon?!? And well I've only heard the FNM 6-track (could be a lot better :) EP. As to Self Inflicted, you mean there not a punk rock band? Sigh, you know your getting old when you mis-label bands. - Mon, 5 Dec 2005 8:20pm

The list is growing....

We're up to 8 confirmed bands

Desensitized
Self Inflicted
Enchanted Faeries
Meatlocker 7
Mitochondrion
Hunting Humans
Friday Night Murder
and of course, S.I.C.K.

As well as I believe Evilosity out of Nanaimo wants in on this... they're email was rather cryptic...

What I need from each of these bands is:
1 song in mp3 format 44.1 kHz rip
Band logo
Group pic of band
a short bio

If you could compile all that into a zip and email it to me at [email protected] I'll get the ball rolling on this little project I seem to have taken up...

Target date for this shit is mid March 06... anyone got any good idea for a title for it? Maybe anyone want to submit some artwork for the cover?... I kinda want to make this entire project an effort of the whole Vic metal scene so any contributions to it are totally appreciated...

320kbs bitrate I assume.. why not use real audio files? mp3's suck unless you need a quick mastering job for a over sizzly mix. - Wed, 14 Dec 2005 11:58am

It would be better if you had the demo the track came from, then rip and mix the comp. that way. Hey I've got demos from: Self Inflicted, Enchanted Fairies, ML7, Mitochondrion, I could make you a compilation CD, E-Mail me which tracks you need. Hopefully the band(s) won't mind me doing this. I'd LOVE to get the Hunting Humans demo, I wonder if there selling them?!? - Thu, 15 Dec 2005 9:12pm

well apparently Peruke and Hemophiliac have now thrown their entrails in the ring.... bringing the grand total up to 13(14)... This thing is gonna be absolutely brutal...

Anyone have ideas they want to throw up to me for a title?... Artwork for it?... any other suggestions for me, since this is the first compilation album I've ever done?...

Well, thanx to Jesse from Brand X Media for providing me with a template for a contract, so I can do this all legal-like... once I've figured out a couple more details I'll need artists to sign the release form to say that they're willing to allow me to use their music and bio for this compilation....

But an updated list of who all's submitted to me so far...

Peruke
Hemophiliac
Seasons of Sorrow
Funeral Fornication
& Ritual Psychosis
Desensitized
Self Inflicted
Enchanted Faeries
Meatlocker 7
Mitochondrion
Hunting Humans
Friday Night Murder
and us S.I.C.K. fucks

and I still have no idea about Evilosity...

As for a title, one idea I've had is a phrase I've used to describe the Tolmie Hell House many times... "Brutality at it's finest"

opinions anyone?
