For those unaware, Dark Star Records is pleased to announce that they are now offering a special, and mighty epic new hard rock metal compilation album We Stand With Ukraine and ALL the proceeds for CD, along with the brilliant Limited Edition Box-Set, goes to help the people of Ukraine.

I have had the pleasure of spending time in Ukraine and Russia, the fans and the people have always been warm and welcoming. So it is with great sadness that now our thoughts and hearts go out to the people of Ukraine to support them during this time of troubles.

This group of artists have given the only thing they can to help and though all the profits of this album will go to the displaced and suffering, the music goes to EVERYONE in a hope that it can bring people together in the only way that music can bring people together.

We love our fans and want you all to be safe. - Tony Martin (Ex-Black Sabbath, vocalist).

The album opens on the absolutely badassary of the thunderous As The World Burns (Tony Martin), the throaty goth rock of I Am The Enemy (Breed of Aggression) and the melodic rock of A Rising Force (War Machine), and then follows those up seamlessly with the kick ass alt-rock of The World Has Gone to Hell (Conquest), the rambunctious rock of Voodoo Moonshine’s Rise Free, the transitional chords post-chorus of Human Condition (Sygnal to Noise), DiAmorte’s chillingly atmospheric Where the Light Grows Cold, and the comes the free flowing rock of War For the World (Fierce Heart).

Next up are a couple of my own personal favorites from this new collection back to back in the form of the melodic rock of Leaving Eden’s compelling Jackhammer and the Heart-esque Freedom (Angeles) and they are in turn followed by the pounding Push Back (Trip 6), Ritchrath Project 3:13’s melodic AOR of Tears of My Pain, the angst-ridden Back With A Vengeance (Aeraco), and then comes the metal-pop-rock of Death Pop Radio’s intriguing F@#K It!, the album rounding out on the harmonious Bad Gab (Rev Jones), coming to a powerful close on the, at first acoustic, then bass and drum-initiated, then full on rocker It’s My Life.
