New Breed.

 A classic NYHC compliation full of unreleased tracks and the like too. Also serves for a neat introduction if you're not all too familiar with the slightly more historical underground acts in the scene. Definitely worth grabbing if you like Cro-Mags, Madball, Terror, etc.

Stressball.

So the other day, I'm trying again to have Superjoint Ritual click with me and I'm faffing around on Metal Archives, as any self-respecting Metal fan might. Checking out the recording line-up right? Anyway, the guy who drums on the first Superjoint record not only did a stint in EyeHateGod and Hank Williams III but also had his own NOLA sludge band going on. The name is pretty cool too - Stressball. I mean, Madball had already been around by then, but still. There's enough ball in the world to go round right?

I thought the record was pretty solid. A slight Godflesh feel going on too.
Hidden NOLA sludge gem.

T-Pain covers Black Sabbath's War Pigs

Yep - most famously known for being that auto-tune guy.
Genuinely great rendition!

Cogumelo Records 40th Anniversary (DVD+Booklet)

For the extreme metal fan, this is quite the treat. I had my eye on this as I really wanted the little booklet, which I will still do eventually, but due to cultural institutions funding this release in Brazil, it's also been released for free digitally. To make sure all is not lost, I've uploaded the PDF booklet here, so it's always available. But wow! Talk about history. The booket is also dual language, I've not had a chance to soak it all up quite yet, but it's pretty clear to me how awesome this is.

2024 Edit: Delighted to have this physically - print quality is great!
