Various Artists – The Heavy Metal Box – CD

Το “The Heavy Metal Box” είναι ένα box set που κυκλοφόρησε το 2007 και περιλαμβάνει heavy metal / rock τραγούδι από κορυφαίους καλλιτέχνες και συγκροτήματα. Προσφέρει ένα ευρύ φάσμα του είδους, από τα πρώιμα χρόνια του heavy metal μέχρι το NWOBHM, το glam και το thrash metal της δεκαετίας του ’80, και τέλος στον ακραίο και εναλλακτικό μέταλ των 2000s. Με κομμάτια από καλλιτέχνες όπως οι Helloween, Testament, Exodus, Anthrax, Accept, Machine Head, Krokus, Dokken, Guns N’ Roses, UFO, Sepultura, Motorhead, Ratt, LA Guns, καθώς και θρύλοι όπως οι Jimmy Page, Glenn Hughes και Ian Gillan, το άλμπουμ περιλαμβάνει επίσης σπάνιες εκδόσεις από συγκροτήματα όπως οι Samson και οι Geordie. Αποτελεί μια συλλογή που δεν πρέπει να λείπει από τη συλλογή των οπαδών του είδους, καθώς προσφέρει την ουσία του hard-rock σε μια συμπυκνωμένη μορφή.
