compile Century Media de reprises étonnantes...

[Everflow]

pour certaines du moins
Par exemple WOLF qui reprend MOONSPELL (!) ou encore ARCH ENEMY qui reprend DREAM EVIL et inversement (!!). D'autres sont plus évidentes.
C'est à l'occasion des 20 ans du label, et le contenu est majoritairement orienté metal extrême.

2008 has become an extremely exciting year in the history of Century Media Records, one of the world's most respected independent homes for heavy music, as the label is celebrating its 20th anniversary.

The company's anniversary year started off with an extremely successful, first-ever yard sale/party at the Century Media office in Dortmund (Germany) in June, where several hundred guests partied out on exclusive live shows by ANGEL DUST and TURISAS. Video footage of the event can be viewed below. A photo gallery is available at this location.

To further celebrate this anniversary, Century Media Records will release the very special 2CD compilation "Covering 20 Years Of Extremes" on September 15 in Europe and on October 14 in North America. The all-covers release includes 32 mostly exclusive recordings and will be available in stores for the price of one CD. Sticking to the "keep it in the family" slogan, CM approached its artists about covering songs from other acts within the label's repertoire and the response from the musicians was overwhelming. Some choices were obvious and homages to the bands that influenced them, others were inspired picks. This combination ended up leading to a heavily entertaining and truly special final result across all sub-genres of heavy music.

[Le G@SP]

ah intéressant! des reprises de groupes extrême par des groupes de heavy ou de thrash old school j'en ai jamais entendu! A moins que vous ayez des exemples?

[guardianofsteel]

Elle peut être sympa cette compile

[Yathin Lizzy]

Tain comment je connais rien là-dedans

[Bib]

Mouais, je sais pas trop ce que ça peut valoir... Y'a quelques "beaux" noms mais bon...

[NicoGan]

Tain comment je connais rien là-dedans

Merci ... j'pensais être tout seul dans ce cas

[Holy Cross]

Moi aussi je connais pas grand chose la dedans mais le principe est pas mal! Je suis curieux d'entendre

[Big Henry]

Moi c'est un peu l'inverse en fait.
Je les connais presque tous et j'avoue que dans le lot il n'y a pas grand chose qui m'intéresse

[Mr. Sandman]

Original, les reprises !

[Everflow]

Pour écouter la reprise de "Burning Angel" (ARCH ENEMY) par MERCENARY : http://www.myspace.com/centurymediaeurope

Mouais, je m'attendais à plus personnalisé de leur part, même s'il y a bien leur son.

[Bib]

Effectivement, c'est bien proche de l'original pour être vraiment intéressant...

[Everflow]

On continue avec la reprise de "Believe in Nothing" (NEVERMORE) par FIREWIND :

http://www.myspace.com/centurymediaeurope

C'est très proche de l'original, tout le feeling en moins... aucun intérêt pour moi.

[Everflow]

Et maintenant c'est "The Book of Heavy Metal" (DREAM EVIL) repris par ARCH ENEMY, ce coup-ci on sent la différence :

[guardianofsteel]

Je l'ai trouvée nulle part cette compile. Elle est sortie?

Sympa la reprise d'Arch Enemy

[Everflow]

^ C'est sorti qu'aux USA j'ai l'impression.

Et maintenant c'est au tour de NAPALM DEATH, reprenant DESPAIR : http://www.myspace.com/centurymediaeurope
