Various Artists - We Are Triumphant Nu-Metal Cover Sampler

Who:  Various artists from the We Are Triumphant Records lineup.

What:  A compilation of deathcore bands covering nu-metal bands.

When:  May 2014

Where:  The label is based out of Rockland, MA.

Why:   I've got to know what it sounds like when someone covers Saliva. Terrible, it turns out.

[The Radness Average (or star rating) is derived from assigning each song a number of stars based on a 1-5 scale, then adding the total number of stars, and then dividing that number of total stars by the number of songs on the record. A Radness Average of 4.0 or higher indicates a good or great record. A Radness Average of 2.0 or less indicates pure crap. Everything else is in the middle somewhere.]
