Various - _Full Moon Productions Sampler CD_
(Full Moon, 1998)

I was surprised by the quality of the bands on this sampler. Full Moon Productions is perhaps more known for being a distribution service than a label, and this sampler should provide some exposure for all of the bands that they have signed. Their line-up is varied, but not so much in musical style as in talent. You have your standard black metal in Diaboli, Soulreaper, Mysticum and Algaion. You have your blackened thrash from Hades and Primigenium, but the standouts in this category and for the album as a whole would have to be Swordmaster and Indungeon, whom I liked way more than I thought I might -- both do an incredible job of blending old with new. Everdark and Argentum play Satanic dark metal, with a Yngwie protege playing leads for the latter. Some people appreciate black metal in its rawest form, and I'm not opposed to it; I just hate the bad production that accompanies it. Such is the case with Black Funeral, a one man project of "vampyric" black metal that is simple in form and not flashy in the least bit. Apollyon is the angle of the bottomless pit of hell, but in this case I suppose it's just an extremely fast black metal band. There is something that puzzled me, though, and that is that there are three instrumental tracks from Abruptum, Lord Wind, and Octinomos, which I thought were strange to find on a sampler CD. Are these tracks representative of what their entire albums sound like? Who can know? The Lord Wind track is actually another highlight, with its medieval instrumentation. All in all, this CD provides a good sampling of many quality under-exposed underground bands.
