The Body - The Body (2004)

The Body - The Body (2004)

The Body are a Doom band that originally formed in Arkansas, but they've since relocated to Providence, RI. I'm pretty sure they are Ex-members of Hundred Years War. This is just two guys, a drummer and a guitarist. Just because they're a two piece doesn't mean they don't have volume though, trust me if you've seen them live then you know, they are loud. This was a 7 song album they released in 2004.

Shredded Corpse - Exhumed & Molested (Reissue) + Demos (2003)

Shredded Corpse - Exhumed & Molested (Reissue) + Demos (2003)


Shredded Corpse were a popular death metal band that was around in the 90s. The meat and potatoes behind Shredded Corpse were Rocky Gray(Living Sacrifice, Soul Embraced, Thy Pain, Evanescence, etc) and Dave Sroczynski(Inner War, Soul Embraced, Thy Pain, etc), with a revolving door of musicians filling in other spots.This album originally came out in 1996, but I think this is pretty much this album + all their demos on one album. There's a good 30 tracks on here.

Fallen Empire - Shadows (1999)

Fallen Empire - Shadows (1999)

Fallen Empire are one of the few Black Metal bands to have formed in this area. They have recently reformed the last I was told and should be playing shows sometime soon. This is one of their older albums with an early lineup. They play atmospheric Black Metal similar to that of Emperor or Dissection.

Acid Bath @ Big Weazel's Skate Park - Little Rock, AR (1996)

I was gonna try to get a vhs converter so I could transfer my copy of this show to the computer, but it looks like someone has beat me to the punch and put it on youtube. Sound quality isn't the greatest but its not bad. From what people have told me Copsodomy and Crankbait had opened this show. Unfortunately its missing the first couple of songs, but this is still a great piece of Little Rock metal show history.

Crankbait were another band from around here that you always hear people talking about, unfortunately I missed out on these guys since they called it quits in 1997. Luckily they released this discography of all their songs in 2003 and I bought a copy. These guys had no guitar player(for most of the time they were together, a guitarist joined near the end I believe), it was just two bass players and a drummer. Pretty fierce music, check it out.

Soophie Nun Squad have become a somewhat legendary punk rock/party band around here. Every time Soophie played live it was an event, and they were one of the most fun bands you could see around here.

Collapse - Unreleased Demo (2002)

Collapse - Unreleased Demo (2002)

Ok, not too many people have heard this since it was never released or even finished for that matter. I talked either Phil or Kiffin from Collapse into making me a copy of this years back, but had since lost it and Phil was kind enough to provide me with a new copy to post here. This was a rough, live practice recording that they recorded in Rwake's old jam room around 2002, and is the only known recording of the band since their demise. (there's a live video i had seen years ago, but have no idea who I knew that even had it) Bassist Kiffin of course went on to play in Rwake and countless other bands since then, guitarist Phil went on to play in Dead City, Halfacre Gunroom, and American Gods, and drummer Chile Dave moved shortly after their break up to California, where he has went on to play with bands like Sleep Terror and Cattle Decapitation.
