I am a big fan of The Metal Archives in general and I particularly enjoy the "For the Musicians" sub-forum of the website. There you will find dozens of dedicated musicians discussing just about everything involved in the process of making music. Recently 14 of those musicians have rallied together to form a nice compilation that the musicians themselves are working to promote. You can listen to the compilation at the above Bandcamp or Soundcloud links and download it for free.
Here is the tracklist along with links for some of the projects:

I am not really a compilation person, but this was a great way to explore a bunch of projects. I was glad to hear a bunch of really well-done and creative material on here. This was both a fun listen and a testament to the knowledge, ability, and skill the Metal Archives' user base is capable of.
