Products similar to Go Off! - Cacophony

Some great strong tracks, interesting use of music.
Some very 'sameish' tracks.
5 Live - Squeeze
New Wave & Post-punk - 2007
1919 Eternal - Zakk Wylde and Black Label Society
More Zakk Wylde for modern Ozzy Osbourne fans.
All very similar and uninspired.
...and The Battle Begun - Rx Bandits
Pop Rock - 2006
Speak Your Peace - Cryptic Slaughter
Heavy Metal - 1990
Terra - Cronian
Side helping for fans of modern Borknagar, with good vocals and guitar.
Less impressive than the primary band.
The Early Collection: Magic Bus/meaty Beaty Big And Bouncy/Who's Missing - The Who
Classic Rock - 2004
Hex - Bark Psychosis
Amazing mellow, jazzy sound with subtle vocals
May be tough to get- shop around
Live (At The Out The Dark Festivals) - Crematory
Songs benefit from the live energy and raw performance.
Frequent interludes are distracting.
Covenant Progress - Crimson Moonlight
Melodic black metal for Christians and non-Christians.
No ideas of its own.
