Detrola is an album by His Name Is Alive, released in 2006. Four years after being dropped from the 4AD roster, HNIA released this album on their own Silver Mountain Media Group label. While many of the band's longtime fans had been disappointed with the group's final two albums for 4AD, fan reception to Detrola was quite positive, with many observing that it was finally a proper follow-up to 1998's 4AD release Ft. Lake.

The Dirt Eaters in an EP by His Name Is Alive, originally released by 4AD in early 1992. It has never been released on its own in the United States, as it was included on the 4AD/Rykodisc US reissue of Home Is in Your Head in 1992.
Sings Man on the Silver Mountain and 8 Other Songs is a His Name Is Alive compilation album, released in 1992. Despite being an American band, His Name Is Alive was signed to the British 4AD label, and had no American distribution for their first three releases on 4AD. US-based Rykodisc re-issued the albums in the summer of 1992, shortly before 4AD signed a distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records so that all 4AD releases would see release in the United States. Bonus tracks were included on two CDs: Livonia featured an extra track called "Livonia", and Home Is in Your Head included The Dirt Eaters EP. To commemorate these releases, Rykodisc issued this compilation as a promotional item to record stores. Many die-hard fans of 4AD and HNIA, despite likely having all the songs included already, sought out and obtained the compilation CD to add to their collection. The artwork was based on the inside sleeve artwork from the 4AD UK release of Home Is in Your Head.
King of Sweet is a compilation album by His Name Is Alive, originally released in a limited run by the Perdition Plastics label in 1993.

Metal Queen – B-Sides & Rarities is a double CD compilation album released in 2007 under the label No Remorse Records, containing songs of the German hard rock singer Doro Pesch. It is unclear if this is a fully licensed compilation, an unofficial release or even a pirated publication. The album is not present in the discography section of Doro's official site and Discogs lists the album as an "unofficial release pretending to be released under No Remorse Records label". On the contrary, Encyclopaedia Metallum lists it as an official compilation.
