Black on Black - A Tribute to Black Flag

VA-Black_On_Black-A_Tribute_To_Black_Flag-2006-RNS
What if a bunch of hardcore and metal bands got together and did remakes of old Black Flag songs? Huh? What if? Well, in this case it’d be called “Black on Black: A Tribute to Black Flag” and feature artists such as Bleeding Through, Zao, Black Dahlia Murder, Converge, Burnt by the Sun, Coalesce, Dillinger Escape Plan and more. Of course, the beauty of a trib like this, besides reveling in the heavy and metallic onslaught, is to hear classic tunage from that punk band of no mean stature or else to hear some old school punk through a filter of modern heaviness, to pay respects to the band obliquely. Of course, each track, while harkening back to classic punk stylings on one level or another, is considerably heavier than the originals. And since it’s a whole variety of bands here, the style varies a bit from song to song, allowing for a more dynamic listening experience.
