Smoke of the Ancient Dead - A Ripple Music Compilation

by Ripple Music

supported by

Kirk Gauthier I’ve known for years that Rich Piva has great taste in music. It’s one of the perks of being Twitter mutuals. But now everyone else gets to see he knows his riffs. This is an absolutely fantastic selection of Ripple Music heavy tunes, and it’s the perfect length. Not too long but with plenty of power. Hell yeah! Favorite track: Fear - Sun Crow.

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Its a Ripple Music comp so expect bangin' tunes from some seriously good bands. Favorite track: Presence - Kabbalah.

Henchmen4Hire Any time I hear Witchcryer, I RISE! Favorite track: I Rise! - Witchcryer.

about

Curated by Rich Piva -- Smoke of the Ancient Dead was a contest inspired by this art I bought at a comic book show (sorry artist name is unknown to me). Presented the art to the online community at Waveriders Unite (facebook group . .come join us) and on Twitter (follow us at @music_ripple) and ran a contest to come up with an album title and tracklist for this art -- So You Want to Be A Record Label CEO contest.

Rich turned in Smoke of the Ancient Dead, and every one voted for the winner, and here we are. Thanks Rich, thanks to all who participated, and look out for more contests to come.
