Century Media

There are a few decent Metal labels still around today that really stand behind and promote their artists. Century Media is one of those labels. In fact they've been doing it for over Twenty years now. The label always puts out samplers and the likes to promote their artists. I have a number of these, but I decided to go with the bonus disc from the 'Tenth Anniversary' box set. Originally the box set was a 3 CD set that covered some of the past and present bands signed to the label. Released in 2001, the box set was a limited release and is somewhat of a rare find nowadays. The last CD in the set was a collection of rare B-sides and Live tracks. At the time of release unless you were a collector most of these tracks were pretty hard to find. However in the modern digital age where the majority of classic albums are getting the deluxe treatment, most of these are probably not so rare anymore. In any case featured here are B-Sides and Live cuts from the likes of, Grave, Samael, Unleashed, Nevermore, Moonspell, The Gathering, Sentenced, Tiamat, Arch Enemy, and Dark Tranquillity. This is a solid collection of tunes, and worth a listen if you dig the B-Sides like I do.
