Though this album is out since the last century, it only fell on my doormat a few weeks ago. It's interesting enough to review it after all. Music For The Next Millennium starts with an introduction talk of pastor Dave Hart of Sanctuary San Diego. There are five bands on the disc. Eva-O, formerly of Christian Death, contributed two tunes from her Damnation album. The songs are dark, gothic and mesmerizing. Rackets & Drapes comes next with two songs from Candyland. Musically they combine thrash metal with some industrial influences. Two songs from Narnia's Long Live The King record were put on this compilation too. They play excellent melodic metal. Top notch. Wedding Party is the fourth band with atmospheric music from their Anthems album. Saviour Machine is the only band with four songs. The first is The Night, that dark piano song with the wailing vocals, lamented to coming doom. The last two songs were recorded live at the Christmas Rock Night in Germany in 1998. You'll get 14 minutes of live music. These recordings make this compilation extra worth checking out.

("Stand Before The Light", "Blood Lust"), Wedding Party ("War Memorial" -good tune, by the way, "Bury The Dead") and Saviour…
