While Solitaire was a near top pick for me in '04, Divine Decay's Maximize the Misery probably takes the top spot. Entirely clean vox with somewhat elementary thrash riffs, Dimension Zero sounding drumlines (my best comparison), with sparse soloing that's not over the top, and often...

Have any of you heard of this band? IMO, overall it sounds like old Agent Steel and Exciter combined. Head to www.solitairemetal.com take a listen...if you like fast shit, here it is. That first sample, Countdown, has an eerie Sacred Reich feel to it, I can't remember the song (Death Squad?)...

Clammy, hope that Jacques received a clean bill of health... I would also hope that you all find time to get to one of those European summer festivals -- I will be going to one in '05, but haven't figured out which one. I am leaning towards Rock Hard...but that could change!!

I picked this up last month, adding it to the pile of Exciter I have (I think I own everything this band has ever put out) My brother in law and I in our high school daze picked this band as our 'pet' -- you know, everyone had one -- Motley Crue, Ratt, etc. Exciter was ours. And along comes...

Pretty good turnout for this one!!! I finally met Swissman, Thraxx, thanks DE... With only two bands on the bill, the Ruffians opened up around 9:40. Definately '80's! Classic twin lead guitarists with a clean vocalist, with a sound somewhere between Saxon, Queensryche, and Dio (the...

You all are gonna love this show, if they come to a venue near you, don't miss 'em... After seeing them several times lately, and tonight especially, I have to say that Andy Galeon has got to be the best damn live metal drummer there is...just so tight -- you can hear every blast... Setlist...

Hey TL, What can you say about their current lineup? I've been spinning the two CDs I have of theirs, Cleansing and Rude... and I saw an old tour's setlist where it looks like they play the better ones off these. Hopefully it'll be a good show, I don't normally go to non-thrash stuff, but...

Savascream -- At your last Concord show, met one of the guys from Bearing, and I remember him saying you play/played with him somewhere in time... Anyway, after a bit, he sorta grudgingly gave me a copy of his CD -- I say this 'cause it was clear he wanted to pimp it to more important...

Listened to Rapture this morning, just wondering if Eric plays any leads in either this disc or any Testament tune. I never think to watch during the shows, and I don't recall the credits ever saying "Solo by:" so I assume Steve pulls all the shreds... NP -- 3 Days of Darkness

If this were a bit closer, I'd go :grin: -- looks like a decent enough line-up. Here's to Testament :rock: having a spot of luck with this weekend's show!!! But..please save any new material for a Bay Area show:grin: Hailz!

Looking forward to this show!! Got my cousin & brother-in-law coming with... Tell me how to secure our spot there, don't want to get left out...what's the web link? Thanks,

I can't belive I've overlooked this band -- Squeak let me in on a listen, I then bought their Katharsis album. It's old (2002) but damn, it's incredible. This band reeks of old Forbidden-ish riffs on their more thrashy songs, and now that Paul is in Testament, makes this a fair post:p ...

I ran into Eric while getting my Darkane's Rusted Angel today. Damn, only after the fact can I think of a thousand questions I would have asked, but... He spoke more about Exodus' new release than anything else -- Tempo's release has been pushed back to late March, not March 9th -- so I...

Hailz to your show last night, you sounded heavy as hell! It was a bit harder without having heard most of your new material before, but it was still cool.:rock: I remember having heard one new song you played in SF a month or so ago, you all played it last night too, that one was my favorite...

Spoke with Souza at the Agent Steel show Friday, told him that I couldn't make it March 11th... He said that was not to be missed -- and aside from what DE posted earlier, Exodus will play one song off Force of Habit. Don't break my balls for givin' props to this CD, I say it's fucking great...

Played most of their catalogue over the last two days, and I have to say that the solo on the song Practice What You Preach is the best one laid down. The best live solo was Skolnick's 'Burnt Offerings' at TOTT -- I could swear I was listening to the CD, he nailed it note-for-note... Your...

Anyone have this album? Exciter's best album IMO --I'd love to have this on CD if it ever came out on that format. Long live the loud was epic sounding, long, drawn out songs with a single riff that, if you liked it, got a whole song of it. I have all Exciter albums -- interesting that the...

Has this song ever been played live? It's not so slow that it'll stop a pit, but also not very speedy either... How would it go over live... that tight opening riff, the chorus that would crush skulls, damn, I'd go Insane... Lots of echo on the throat, too. I'm more a Demonic fan than The...

Any idea what the first words spoken in this song are? Something like "Toward the Fight", but I know that isn't right. There is a line, later on, Saluting the Fight, so my guess is "Salute the Fight", but that doesn't seem right either...

They will be at the Pound this coming Monday, and I can't make it, I'll be out of state! I remember them coming around mid-summer with In Flames and Chimaira, an outdoor show at the Pound -- I missed half of Soilwork's set due to that goddamn Bay Area traffic -- now I'll miss it again! Hope...
