Organizers recently announced the release of their 2013 compilation CD - with six representative bands from the US, three from Australia, two from Sweden, and several other countries such as Jordan, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Poland and Denmark - with artwork done by the Serbian fantasy artist Dusan Markovic.

These promotional compilations will be distributed through several US metal labels and mailorders and they will be freely available to all the fans in attendance this year in Ohio, as well as fans who will be supporting other live metal shows such as Georgia's Pathfinder Metalfest VI in July and Maryland's Rock Harvest II Festival in November.

The album was funded by the participating bands from four different continents as well as Warriors of Metal, Inc., was mixed by the Fest organizer / producer and promoter Datis Alaee.
