New millennium saw the release of two post-humous records – one was “Skeletal Remains” compilation, which came out on Savage Land and label and collected bands live material recorded in ’96 and ’97.

And they concluded that “For only consisting of two vocalists, one guitarist, and one drummer, Lake of Dracula manages to create a big noise that’s not soon forgotten by any mind open enough to listen.”įurther into the 90s, they managed to record a 7″ split with Monitor Radio (which came out Carcrashh label) and Four Teachers / Violators 7″, which came out on Kill Rock Stars.
