Welcome

elcome to the Digital Meltd0wn Music Blog. The aim of this blog is to introduce the readers to music that is out of print, commercially unavailable, released under a creative commons license, or with approval by the featured artist. The majority of the music posted here would be considered underground. Don't let that fool you into thinking that the music featured here might be any less enjoyable than that of the mainstream artists you hear on the radio, as this couldn't be further from the truth. Please keep in mind that the majority of the artists that appear on this blog, along with their respective record labels, are not wealthy and need your support. If you enjoy the material that you find here, please support the artists/labels by purchasing their material afterwards. If you are an artist/label that would prefer to have your material removed from this blog, simply leave me a comment, and I would be more than happy to promptly remove the offending post. In addition to running this blog, I also work on a few other projects during my spare time. You can find links to those, as well as a few other important links associated with Digital Meltd0wn in the menu bar above.

Sigh. Wish this could be re-uploaded. It's rather rare where I'm from...

@Anonymous: If you can be patient, I will be able to provide you with a working download link. I have already started working on a list of albums which need to be re-upped. I'm simultaneously working on uploading both new material and re-uploads. Unfortunately there are a few albums I need to re-upload, which other people already requested, before I make it to this one. If I don't get overwhelmed with school work, I should have this posted within a week's time. I apologize for not being able to provide it to you faster. Take care.

I actually purchased this! Thanks for putting it on your to-do :D Now to find discs that are on Dressed to Kill's other monster compilation: "Live Forever".

As far as I can tell, it seems to be composed of "Undead: 50 Gothic Masterpieces" and the "Flesheaters" compilation...
