40 Years of Chaos · EP.32 — Around the World: The Compilations

While the album was making its way through reviews and interviews, another route opened: the compilations. Physical CDs, circulated through fanzines, events and underground distribution on three continents.

Brazil came first. Gulpian Metal Fest, the festival and promotional project founded by promoter Luciano Gulpian in 2009 and based in Praia Grande, near São Paulo, is known in the independent circuit for its professional CD compilations. AydrA appeared on four consecutive volumes: Vol. 13 on 17 August 2024 with Three Minutes Walk and Deserter, Vol. 14 on 30 October with Black Skin and Red Sand and They Waste a Throne, Vol. 15 on 26 December with Lost Between Two Lands and Make Slaves, and Vol. 16 on 3 February 2025 with You Can't Talk Anyone and Leave to Nowhere. Exactly two tracks per volume — enough for a collector to rebuild the whole album across the series.

Europe followed. Metal is Forged Here Vol. IV, from the Polish-Ukrainian label Metallurg Music, released on 20 February 2025 as an official digipack gathering seventeen bands from Italy, the USA, Brazil, Ukraine, Denmark and Australia, with AydrA as the fifth track.

Then the United States: Soulgrinder Zine Compilation Volume 8, fifteen bands, almost entirely American — with AydrA the only Italian act on the disc, represented by Three Minutes Walk.
