Kingdom scored a big coup getting the Martha's Wake song, "War Within," on this, the label's third independent band compilation. The Colorado band plays some of the most unique and truly progressive rock around. Also included on the CD are songs by Damp (Glenn Rowlands' band), a quality arena metal of "These Walls," by Pursuit, the tight melodic pop punk of Hang Nail, the even tighter "prog" rock of Poetry of Dreams, and the well-produced Southern blues rock of Broken Vessel. Also, check out the quick-wristed rhythm guitar in the Antioch tune "Take the Water," or Shattered Delusion's ultra clean "Lonely World" (which could have used a little better vocal variety). Pretty decent compilation of bands from just about everywhere.
