Solstice – Solstice (1992)
This is one that I picked up around the time it debuted mainly because of the label it was on. Century Media Records 
was putting out some cool stuff like Iced Earth at the time so I thought I’d give this a shot. Glad I did. It’s a good cross between death and thrash metal without getting too over the top. I guess they featured members of Cannibal Corpse, Demolition Hammer, Disincarnate, Divine Empire, Hateplow, Hellwitch, Malevolent Creation, Resurrection; none of which I have ever cared about in the least.
I really liked the drummer on this release. Some really good footwork.
Overall this isn’t the greatest band to come from that Florida death/thrash scene but this album is certainly worth a listen. It’s been out of print for quite some time.
Rex Inferi – Like A Hurricane (1985)
Here’s another rarity out of the collection. I picked this up about 2 years ago from Sentinel Steel. Limited to only 500 
copies on CD, I had to pick it up after hearing a few tracks from YouTube. This is great early Italian power metal and highly recommended if you liked the NWOBHM stuff. The first 4 tracks feature one singer and the last tracks feature the replacement singer. I definitely prefer the first guy. They remind me a bit of Tokyo Blade (Night of the Blade era). I highly recommend this download.
