Church Of The Devil

Finishing off this week of various albums with a double shot of tribute albums from the label Dwell. Dwell was a label that really specialized in metal tribute records featuring up and coming or unknown bands. At one point they did have a small roster that included Soilent Green. However we will focus on the King Diamond tribute first. 'Church Of The Devil: A Tribute To King Diamond' was released back in 2000 and features a few bands that you may have heard of. The album features songs from 'Fatal Portrait' up until 'The Graveyard'. There are some odd choices for songs to cover here, i.e. 'The Poltergeist' and 'The Wedding Dream'. The bands feature on here are for the most part unknown and now split up. Perhaps the most known bands are here are Ion Vein, Prototype, Estuary, and Black Witchery. The covers in general are a bit rough in spot, some are a bit better than others. It is rather hard to cover the King after all. Not one of the better tributes, but still worth a listen.
