"In 2002, with the release of "The Future Of Music" by Trustkill Records, we got a taste of the minor-label company and what their music was about. In 2004, we get the full course meal of Trustkill, and how their bands are brutal, melodic, and beautiful in their own ways. "Blood, Sweat, & Ten Years" shows the versatility of Trustkill Records in today's diverse music industry, with many up-and-coming bands that will go on (or are already going on) to bigger and better things.



Owning most of this company's records beforehand, I suppose that I am slightly biased. But Trustkill has chosen the cream of the crop from their current artists and put their best tracks on display. At the same time, this album marks the ten year anniversary for the small record company, and their 50th release.



If you are looking for bands who are fresh faces in the music industry, Trustkill Records is where you should turn. Whether your taste is in metal, hardcore, emo, or all of the above, you are bound to find several bands in Trustkill's arsenal for you. This album provides a worthy compendium of young, aggressive, and talented artists that are striving in an industry where radio and MTV rule.



Do yourself a favor and pick up "Blood, Sweat, & Ten Years" as a way of sticking to the popular media which, for the most part, shuns this kind of talent. You won't be disappointed with the amount of force on this record (nor will you be disappointed with the low price), and it will most certainly enlighten your music tastes in a new century of music."
