Dead Zeppelin - "A Tribute To Led Zeppelin" Dwell Records
Okay,
the Dead Zeppelin "A Tribute To Led Zeppelin" was Assisting Sorrow's
1st recording with a new line-up! When Jim, Jerry, & Mike quit the
band, I was stuck in a shitty situation! Dwell had already asked us
to be on this as well as the AC/DC Tribute & we said yes! I was very
pressed for time with this project! I immediatly asked my brother
Brian to play drums & asked my good friend Kenny Phelps from the band
Dump Gang to handle the bass chores! As for a vocalist I asked ex-Dump
Gang vocalist Derek Robinson cause I new his voice would work great
for this project! We only had less than a month to learn, redo, disect
& metalize these 2 songs! "Achilles' Last Stand" turned out really
good despite it being a 10 minute long Epic! It's the 1st recording
Assisting Sorrow did with a true melodic metal vocalist! Derek kicked
ASS on this! Also it was Brian's 1st time ever recording in a studio!
Despite the hell we went through, I am very proud of the end result
for "Achilles' Last Stand"!
As a whole, this tribute was very dissapointing!
A lot of the bands on here in my opinion seemed to do this tribute
to Led Zeppelin as a joke! Brian & I are huge Zeppelin fans & we were
honored to be a part of it! A couple of bands were very good though!
VLADIMIRS kicked Ass with their version of "In The Light".

For Those About To Rock - "A Tribute To AC/DC" Dwell Records
In
all honesty, I wish we never did For Those About To Rot "A Tribute
to AC/DC"! It had a lot of potential & I do think we did a great job
at redoing and making the song more metal, but the vocals really turn
me off on this! Originally, Derek was singing this song very melodic
& doomy much like Messiah Marcolin from Candlemass! I loved it! But
he wasn't satisfied! The end result was him barking it out in the
vein of CrowBar! I hate that style of vocals! But we were pressed
for time so I just said fuck it! The rest of this CD is pretty much
a joke as well!

Church Of The Devil - "A Tribute To King Diamond" Dwell Records
Church
Of The Devil "A Tribute To King Diamond" was the 1st tribute release
that the ever so trendy Dwell Records asked us to be a part of! We
were very honored to say the least just to be asked to be a part of
a Tribute to a band that has been such an influence on our music!
So of course we said yes! Also it was some good exposure for our band!
We were happy with the way this turned out! It was a challenge musically
but we were pleased with the end result! Vocally it wasnt up to par
but what do you expect! It's a damn King Diamond song! There was some
conflict with the vocals between myself & our vocalist at the time
Mike Barnes. I thought the song should have been sung all the way
through but Mike thought it should have more growling parts! All in
all I was very happy with the end result but the mixing of the vocals
could've been alot better! Mikes vocals tracks ended up getting burried
in the mix which Mike was not very happy about! Now the more I listen
to it, I wish we did turn his vocals up more!
I really do feel that Dwell succeeded with this. HIghly Recommended.
