Hear Ripping New Canadian Metal Compilation 'Trapped Under Ice' in Full

Underground favs Cauchemar, Occult Burial, more join forces for new album

Cauchemar

History has its fair share of classic compilations that served as landmarks for discovery (remember This Is Boston, Not L.A., Metal Massacre, Killed By Death, New York Hardcore: Together, or even Soundbombing) — collections that have helped bring to light several key bands and important scenes within subgenres. Canada's Temple of Mystery Records have roped in bands from across their vast metallic and (literal) landscape to comprise Trapped Under Ice, a comp celebrating the impressive array of Canadian metal, from classic sounds to black metal and all stops in between.

In-the-know fans may recognize names like Cauchemar, Occult Burial, Blackrat and others, packing the ten track LP with individual songs from those and seven other future luminaries from the Great White North. Stream it here for the first time, and order your physical copy via the label.
