We hope that this will be the best and heaviest digital sampler we have released to date. Please let us know what bands you like, and please go support these bands and labels by buying their music, buying merch, going to their shows, and telling your friends. We would like to thank all the bands and labels for letting us use their music.

Good job on this guys! I am proud of you!!
Steve, Brian, and Sam are awesome!
Wow. Quite the collection. Thanks!
Wow! That’s a lot of songs! I love. I know Phinehas fairly well. My friend is best friends with Scotty Whealen(ex-Phinehas guitarist) now guitarist for Haste the Day.
Awesome.

lols on the “loves Advent and Call to Preserve” line :)

sick design bro!
Thanks bro! I had a WHOLE lot of fun doing it.
love that Teeth & Crowns song……..wink
Sweet!
Btw does anyone else think it sounded better with to at the end?
Nah. Not grammatically correct, either.

Fair enough, but it doesn’t change that they can’t be verbally differentiated.
thanks for including us guys! always glad to support IVM and glad you are supporting us as well. Really fun comp :)
wow, this bums me out… i’ve been waiting since the first one to submit my band to it. how did i miss submissions for this?!
we were trying to keep a lid on this until we released. I am sorry you didnt get a chance. You can send me an email and we can get you on another one.
Centuries Apart….IS AWESOME
d00d!! you dont know how long ive been waiting for this!
volume 1 was really good . number 2 will be even better .thanx ya’ll
So what are some of your favorite tracks on this so far?
of the bands i hadn’t already heard of. i dig with life in mind
I am really digging Parallels.
the zip file says its corrupt how do you get it to work?
let me know if you are still having issues downloading
This is so great!
I cannot believe I let WITH LIFE IN MIND slip by, they are awesome!!
Thanks IVM.
i cannot download it properly, too
Try pausing the download and then resuming it. That worked for me on a prior IVM download.
Surprised no one has said anything about the new Messengers song
I don’t really know about you guys but I REALLY like the song “judge” by the band messengers… what do you guys think?
Messengers has potential. I hope they tour soon
they are only playing around where they live for right now but a full us tour next summer
rob shameless! outlaw!!!!!!!!!
I downloaded part 1 here at work and I didn’t have any trouble. Let us know if any of you are experiencing problems downloading the file(s).
that parallels song player isn’t parallels
haha nevermind, i was confused
Downloaded it and listened through once. Phinehas was a killer first track. Really powerful, awesome song. The one from Messengers kept the energy going, and I’m loving that track too. Close Your Eyes also sound good. I started doing work and didn’t pay close attention to most of it after that, but I’m sure I’ll grow more aware of what I like and don’t like along the way over the next few weeks.
totally agree about the first tracks, killer.
Gnashing of Teeth – Separate
Hundredth – Desolate
Cast Them To Ruin – Ocean Straight
Amazing Songs!!
Cast Them To Ruin are awesome dudes. NZ represent!

Wow. Biggest download yet.
These dudes are sick. There stage presents is on point. Seen them a few times here in rva
I would be amped to seem cast them to ruin
They are churrr as live. My band has played with them a couple times. Great presence. Their drummer is also in a band called The Voyage, who’re equally amazing (and much more to my personal taste in music).
churr? what?
Hahahaha. Churrr = awesome/that’s really cool/really into it/pretty much stoked on it.
Wow! That Messengers song blew me away!
Yay!!!! :D I loved sample 1 I’m sure this will rock
all christian right? J/W :P
A few are bands with Christians in them.
for some reason song #9 doesn’t work. it says it is in m4e non mp3.
not m4e it was m4a does anyone know how I can fix this
That is the file format that label gave me. What media player are you using to play it? You may have to try and use a program to convert it to mp3 if your media player doesn’t support m4a. We tried to get all mp3 but I believe there are 2 m4a tracks on the compilation.
Oh, okay windows media player doesn’t support m4a. Thanks for the help.
Yeah, I dare all of you to download this and listen to the Gnashing of Teeth, Clear Convictions, Creations and Messengers songs. THEY WILL PUMP YOU UP.
This is sick compilation.
I cannot stop listening to it!!!
Thank you to all who were a part of this!
That song by Not One Is Upright is pretty flippin slammin! Really liking what they’re doing.
Called to Arms has my vote on this comp.
ForChristSake has some cool moments but they should really stop the clean vocals and repetition.
haha thanks man. There are a lot of good songs on here so we appreciate the fact that our song stood out for you!
heck yeah, do you guys have an album out?
Yeah they do. Bmer reviewed it a while back. Their album is called Peril and the Patient.
Thanks Steve!
Nater: As Steve pointed out, we have a full length that came out this year that was reviewed on here and we have an older EP out entitled The Last Lament.
Guys Check This Out.

Anyone have anything else to say about this compilation good or bad?
I love that there’s 2 South Carolina locals, Hundredth and Divide The Sea, on here :D

Should be all fine now.
