Various Artists - The Heavy Metal Box Review

The Heavy Metal Box is a 4 disc set housed in a box designed to look like a Marshall amp, and even has a real volume knob that goes up to 11. The compilation is organized chronologically, and the impressive booklet contains liner notes written by Martin Popoff for every song. There are also tons of great photos.

There are a wide variety of genres represented in this set. From early hard rock like Iron Butterfly, Blue Cheer and Deep Purple to New Wave Of British Heavy Metal like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest to thrash metal like Megadeth and Anthrax to hair metal like Poison and Cinderella, there is something for every metal fan. The more extreme genres are underrepresented, but there are tracks from Venom and Sepultura.
