Broke this CD out earlier this week and it's remained in my player since. Anyone remember this one?

Their demo The Arrival is really good too and contains two tracks that didn't make the album (though probably should have).
 
:headbang: PROGRAMMED is a great cd. Haven't heard THE ARRIVAL demo though, i'll have to check it out.

One of my absolute favorite albums. A few years back I was fortunate enough to see them live at the KIT festival and meet them later. This album is a true gem! I still play it a lot.


They are recording a new album as we speak and I am very much looking forward to hear it!!

Lethal For The WIN!!

I dunno if you know Oliver Kirkdik (I think I massacred his last name) he writes for Digital Steel a couple of other (e)zines. He told me about hanging out with Lethal a coupe of years ago at KIT.

Didn't know about the new album. Very much looking forward to it! I just hope it sounds like Programmed and not the Pantera-esque Poison Seed. (It was decent, but felt like a totally different band)
 
I bought this a few years ago, probably because of a thread on here, but never gave it a fair chance. I'll have to dig it out. I like the video.

Oliver is a damn good friend who I see not enough because of his and mine many writing activities. I spoke to him at the Dynamo club Helstar gig. a few weeks ago. :)
 
I bought "Programmed" a lot of time ago. Maybe in 1991 when I was 17. Totally knocked me out. It´s one of the greatest albums I´ve ever heard.

I read something about "Queensryche influencies", specially on vocals. It´s true, Tom Mallicoat has similar range of vocals than Geoff Tate but he´s an overwhelming singer. Vocal melodies on "Programmed" are brilliant ("Obscure the sky" chorus :worship:).

"THe arrival" demo is excellent too. After "Programmed" they released "Your favourite god" EP and "Poison seed" album. Not as impressive as "Programmed" but very good.

I saw them live at Keep It True 2007. Tremendous gig! Even, Tom image totally different from what we can see in "Programmed" :lol:
 
I'd totally love for them to be added to the PPUSA bill. Especially since there seems to be a chance Vanden Plas or Primal Fear may not be playing (I could be wrong on this, but seeing as the ticket date was pushed back a week....)

Hope not. If PF bails out I'm not gonna buy the ticket for the showcase and I'll rest on Thursday in the room or go for a stroll. For me the showcase is eesentially Primal Fear the rest are fillers.
