The Metal Sludge “Hey, That’s What I Call Sludge! Vol. I” CD!

 

That’s right, it’s time for our first fucking CD!

Since October of last year, we’ve been working on putting together the first Metal Sludge CD! This idea has been around for a while and it’s something we always wanted to do. A few years back, Capitol Records came to us and wanted to do a Metal Sludge Compilation, but it would have only been with Capitol/EMI bands, and being the control freaks we are, we wanted to do things our way, so we passed on that and other offers until we could do things our way, with 100% control.

Well now the planets have aligned and the time is right!

Metal Sludge Records is proud to announce "Hey, That’s What I Call Sludge" Volume 1!

We wanted to bring together new school bands and old school bands and create a CD we could be proud of. We have compiled 20 bands and over 74 minutes of music on one CD, to give you the most rock for your buck. Well, $13 bucks to be exact. The music on "Hey, This Is What I Call Sludge!" is so devastating that you’ll hit ‘repeat’ on your CD player and just listen to this CD over and over again. Eventually you’ll lose your job as well as your friends because you won’t leave your house. You’ll just be chilling in your room listening to this CD like a retard, but don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Here is the track by track breakdown of each song on the CD, as well as ordering information down below. All these bands deserve Super Balls Awards for having the balls to have a song on our very first CD! Give them your love and go see them if they hit your town.

Now onto our CD, or if you just want to skip all this and order it right away, then Click Here to order it today!

1. Metal Skool "Rainbows & Witches" (skit)

3. Lit "No Turning Back"

Orange County’s Lit was more than down to give us a track for our CD when we asked them. They even sent over a demo of this song to us to see if we liked it before they gave us the final version!

Lit’s new self-titled CD comes out on June 22nd with a long form DVD to follow.

13. The Brightness "Diamond’s Are A Boy’s Best Friend"
?

Who needs The Darkness when we have the U.K.’s best kept secret, The Brightness! This mysterious band features the amazing vocals of lead singer Chaz Neptune (which many compare as a cross between Freddie Mercury and Lemmy) as well a guitar virtuoso Damien Hilton (5 time Guitarist Of The Year in Britian’s "Guitar Hero Magazine"), not to mention bass extrodiare Trevor Nevor (one of Billy Sheehan’s idols) and drum god Michael David Black (who rumor has it taught Neil Peart). Having The Brightness bless our CD with a track takes our CD to a whole new level.

Fun Facts
- From England!

- These guys are so good looking that no photos of them exist because the band believes that no other bands could compete with their good looks, and as a result, many groups would just break up. The Brightness doesn’t want that on their conscious, so to benefit the music community and keep bands together, they never have their picture taken.
- Nobody in the band believes in a thing called love, but all have had sex with Paris Hilton.

15. Killingbird "Beat The Bullet"

Every good compilation CD needs a cover song, so this is ours. Well it’s not ours, we didn’t fucking record it, Killingbird did and they cover the Vain song "Beat The Bullet."

21. Wednesday 13 "Your Mother Sucks Cocks In Hell"

Murderdolls singer Wednesday 13 goes solo with this lovely little ballad. It’s worth the price of the CD just on the song title alone! "Your Mother Sucks Cocks In Hell."

22. Kevin DuBrow & Little Women – 1990 "I Can’t Resist You"

Quiet Riot singer Kevin DuBrow dug through is archives for this track. This is a demo from Kevin’s band "Little Women" that he was in back in the last 80s/early 90s. This is a never before heard…well, it’s been heard before. Obviously it was recorded so somebody at one time or another heard it, and of course Kevin has heard it before since he sang on it, and the musicians who played on it heard it, but none of you have really heard it and that’s what matters. Yet maybe you did hear because you were in the studio with them back in 1990 or you’re friends with Kevin? Anyway, this track is classic Kevin DuBrow.
