2007 Update: I got this from their website: Scum of the Earth schedule US release date for new album entitled Sleaze Freak
SCUM OF THE EARTH, featuring former long-time Rob Zombie guitarist RIGGS just recently finished mixing their new album entitled SLEAZE FREAK (Eclipse Records), the band’s first studio album of all-new material since the critically-acclaimed debut Blah…Blah…Blah…Love Songs For The New Millennium released in 2004. Delving deep into the psyche of the blood-spitting world-famous guitarist’s mind, SLEAZE FREAK will contain 13 brand new songs described by RIGGS as “heavy-as-hell grinding, stripper-rock”. “It’s a much more intense collection of material than Blah…Blah…Blah…” said RIGGS, “we did everything we wanted to do this time around, which allowed us to really embody the whole red-light-district sleazy vibe into the material.” In addition, MySpace Music icon Metal Sanaz makes her recording debut performing guest backing vocals on the track “Love Pig”. SLEAZE FREAK is scheduled to be released nation-wide at retail stores throughout the US on October 9th 2007. The explicit (PA) version of the album will be available at most retailers containing an added DVD video. The DVD will consist of footage filmed while recording and mixing the album documenting the recording and mixing process and many hijinks of the band around town, in the studio, and on the road. There will also be a clean version for those accounts who are afraid of scary comic-monsters, offensive language, etc… The track listing for SLEAZE FREAK is as follows: 1. Bombshell From Hell 2. Hate X 13 3. Sleaze Freak 4. Devilscum 5. Death Stomp 6. I Am Monster 7. Love Pig 8. Macabro Expectaculo 9. Corpse Grinders 10. The Devil Made Me Do It 2 11. Scum-O-Rama 12. 13 Freaks 13. Just Like Me The band is also currently on tour, hitting several markets before the album comes out and planning to continue through the end of 2007. Fears Magazine interviews Scum Of The Earth.

DISARRAY- In the Face of the Enemy (V Entertainment Network; 1815 Northgate Road; Scotch Plains, NJ 07076)
It's been a long time since I have heard these guys. The vocals on this album remind me of a heavier Rob Zombie, in his White Zombie days. There are some heavier songs, where Chuck is using some death vocals, but I don't know if I would classify this is death metal per say. But regardless, it's fucking heavy as shit and I like it!

Metal Underground 2000
Here is a compilation CD with a bunch of kick ass bands. There is Hollow, who I have never heard before, but I have came to the conclusion that they rule; Compression, who is a hard core band from MD, Torn Asunder from CT, Disarray, Lunatic, Ton, Winterkill and a whole lot more. 17 songs on this.

MUSHROOMHEAD
This is a sampler, 3 song CD. These songs have been taken from a full length which will be released in Spring of 2001. They have some real heavy parts and at times the singer reminds me of Phil from Pantera. They are a metal band super fast or anything, but have some really cool parts here and there.

PANTHER-A tribute to Pantera
This has a lot of good bands covering good Pantera songs. I think it is a tie between Pissing Razors with their version of Domination and Nok with Fucking Hostile. Other bands on this are The Step Kings, Ill Nino, AC, Disarray, Lunactic and a bunch more. Walk, Becoming and Cemetery Gates sound awesome!
