Title: Fodder for posers....
Review: Blackend Volume 3 is best described as a totally worthless compilation, along with Volume 4 of the series and the equally redundant "Gods of Darkness" compilation on Nuclear Blast. Like all the other Blackend compilations, Volume 3 is a dubious purchase; totally devoid of unreleased/rare tracks, this is nothing really more than a pair of coasters with some of the most commercial happy-metal and Norsecore in existence on it. The only saving graces provided are from Enthroned, Usurper, and Amduscias; other than that, this CD is nothing to excite any underground aficianado. Had a compilation of this type been released prior to 1996, it might have generated some excitement and been relevant to those who like the now long-dead Scandinavian metal scene. But it's 1999, so it seems that Metal Blade/Blackend are extremely tardy in exploiting stupidity.
