Rise to Addiction

[Blitzkrieg]

4th October 2004 - John Slater confirms that Rob Naylor, Steve Wray and himself would form a new band named "Rise to Addiction". The band orignally feature Jeff Singer on drums but he had to leave before the band were announced due to other commitments. This added fuel to the fire that there was a problem with B L A Z E the band and not the bands members themselves...

Just read that on the bio from Blaze's website. I didn't know anything about this. Anyone got any info? I would be interested in hearing anything they come up with. Slater and Wray were one awesome twin guitar attack in Blaze.

Still hanging out for new Blaze material, but I am a bit scared with an entirely new line up.

I doubt anything will come of from Slater, Wray and Naylor.. I'm sure they could come up with something great, but they're not going to get support needed for it to be released.

 

[Sydo]

There's a few sorta random bands that appear interesting on the outside..
Circus Diablo, Temple Of Brutality, Damnocracy, Supernova..

 

[Blitzkrieg]

You are probably right, but geez they are a great group of musos.

I will definately be interested in hearing what these two put out working with Andy Sneap again. Pity Naylor quit again, he rocks.

 

[Sydo]

sounds interesting!
Good to hear that havn't disappeared just yet..

I'm surprised that they are working with Sneap. I'm guessing that they must have built up quite a good friendship with him during those years with BLAZE, 'cos I would be almost certain that they couldn't afford his usual rates.

I'm on dialup, so can't listen.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I will check that out tomorrow, cool.

I wonder what those going rates might be...

 

[Sydo]

Good question. I think LT would probably have a fair idea..

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I'd be very interested to know. He works with a bit of a variety of different metal bands, I wonder how much you pay to get someone like that on board.

 

[Goreripper]

The record label usually pays for stuff like that. If you're unsigned, it's often difficult to afford decent production. RTA probably called in a few favours.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Listening to the songs on myspace.....simpler guitar work with more of a heavy rock edge than metal, and more hard rock style vocals. Disappointed.

 

[Sydo]

cunts

 

[Blitzkrieg]

They were so good in Blaze.

 

[Sydo]

They're playing in NZ!! fuck!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Strange. They can come sign my Blaze albums if they like.

 

[Sydo]

I listened to some of their stuff last week, and enjoyed it.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Isn't bad at all, just not what I had hoped or expected.

 

[Southy]

Just not B L A Z E
