News from Morbid Saint

[WyrmTongue]

I'm making this thread to share more information about this great band. I made a thread about them on another metal forum, and after a few days I got a responce from the producer of their album "Spectrum of Death". Here it is:

The only thing I can add about Specturm of Death is that it still remains a classic thrash album and one that I'm proud to have been associated with. Raw and real, every note is how the band played it. Although there are effects galore on background vocals, to add a sense of the demonic, the fact that they played incredible tight riffs with Lombardo-esque drumming is all THEM, pure and simple. The kicks still sound like booming clear cannons, which was an alternative to the clicky Scott Burns/Morrisound style of the day. This album was actually recorded in winter '88-'89, but didn't see the light of day until a couple of years later. I tried to help MS as best I could, having them open for Death (who I managed) as often as was feasible. I recently purchased a copy of Spectrum over the net so it is still out there. BUT, you can now download the tracks for free at former bassist Tony's MS web site: http://www.pcmdusa.com/ms/ Since the labels involved are long defunct, and as there are no plans for a re-release, I can't see any harm in the public getting their hands on this historical artifact from hell! Twisted Evil Can I get an amen??

And then a reply from Patrick Lind, the vocalist:

Its kind of sad that i dont even have a copy any more..but i do have the vinal album if you can believe that... Anyway i just serched for the old band name and it brought me to this site. Anybody who liked the MS is going to love the new band i am in (also still playing with jat guitar player for MS) the new band is Sgt. Discharge and the web address is www.sgtdischarge.com come download a ferw tunes ..we will be releasing our debut full length CD by the end of Feb for sure. Not signed to a lable right now so you will have to order it from the web site...and if your from Wisconsin you definetly should see a live show..We will hopefully be back on the rock stage at Summerfest this year...Peace ...Patrick

The next day I also recieved a PM from Patrick Lind:

Please note that I myself have not listened to Sgt. Discharge as of yet so I am not sure of their quality.
