CMI is one of, if not my all time favorite label. Roger has excellent taste in both music and aesthetics. BDN (obviously), MZ.412, Raison D'Entre, In Slaughter Natives, Projeckt Hat, Deutsch Nepal, the early Arcana albums, old Mortiis records and many others are among my favorite artists. So many legendary and timeless classics on the CMI label.
I am pretty ambivalent about that CMI tribute LP on IBP/NWN. It will be interesting to hear, and Grave Upheaval is one of my favorite newer DM bands but metal bands should stay in their own territory. In my opinion the cross pollination of metal and industrial/PE only results in diluted, not exciting music. In theory the mix sounds awesome but the reality of it usually mediocre at best. MZ.412, Blut Aus Nord, and Ride For Revenge being the only exceptions I can think of, all three of which are phenomenal though.
