I have just dropped a bomb in my neighborhood. I have unleashed a sonic blast that has leveled the surrounding houses, murdered hundreds of household pets, and have offered human sacrifice to all that is unholy. I did all this by unwrapping from its package "Relapse Record's Music Sampler 2003: Contaminated 5.0." Now, like the disc's name, I have contaminated my mind with sounds that could wake the dead and unleash a musical hell. And now I spread this germ to you all...

  "Contaminated 5.0" is a two disc set full of 150 minutes of pure, raw, unadulterated music spanning from metal, hard rock, and goth to black metal and gore metal. Forty-five up-and-coming bands mixed with some old favorites come at you hard with the most poisonous and extreme music available on the market.

  These aren't your crappy new punk-pop bands or boy bands. Some of the musical executioners include: "Alabama Thunderpussy," "Burnt By The Sun," "Bongzilla," "The Dillinger Escape Plan," "Neurosis," "Soilent Green," "Cryptic Slaughter," and more. Never before has a CD had a lineup like this. Most people think you would be paying $20 or more. Relapse is so intent on getting you infected with "Contaminated" they have given the middle finger to the music industry and have cut the cost of this disc in half! On the packaging it says that "Contaminated" cannot and will not be sold for more than $8! An outstanding price.

  "Contaminated 5.0" can be found online at www.amazon.com or Relapse.com. If you are in the New River Valley area, Crossroads in Blacksburg can hook you up and inject you with this disc.

  The virus is spreading and you are the host.

Kornfrk4life, I enjoy all three of those bands and just maybe one day I will write about them here in the pages of Whim. Oh yeah, to all those complainers: I don't care if it is mainstream, nu-metal, or whatever kind of music.
