Released in 2011 by 1332 Records, "Live Evil II – A 2011 Music Sampler" is a riotous continuation of the label's underground showcase series, offering 24 tracks that confront, provoke, and entertain with unapologetic intensity. As a snapshot of DIY audacity and genre-blurring experimentation, this album promises a wild, unpredictable ride through the sights and sounds of subcultural music scenes, making it a perfect pickup for listeners who crave the raw and unrefined.
This is a collection that doesn't hold back. Its charm lies in its unpredictability and its unapologetic devotion to outsider artistry. There’s punk, horrorcore, experimental noise, rock, grindcore and moments of oddball humor punctuating political urgency. It’s neither polished nor cohesive.  This is music for those who celebrate the fringes, who find beauty in distortions, and who value authenticity over production gloss.
Of course, wildly varying styles may be daunting for some listeners. Tracks might feel rough, unrefined, or even unhinged. But that rawness is part of the appeal, it’s honest, it’s tactile, and it bristles with creative freedom. If you’re into highly produced, streamlined listening experiences, this sampler may feel like sensory overload. But if you’re drawn to the raw, the offbeat, the shock-and-awe of independent music, this compilation is a treasure chest of the unexpected.
