I like that cover
MW have some cool artwork, it's almost like they stepped out of the 80's and 90's hardcore thrash scene

Looking at the list of releases this week it better be good because there isn't a great deal else on worth listening too on the list.

Gene always comes off as a decent guy in any interview.
I've got a copy of the Almighty Punchdrunk album he talks about, not sure I remember it as fondly as him but I do remember thinking it was pretty cool when I first heard it, bad sound and all. Mechanism was okay too, but Dark Angel still beats all. Funny to think the first 'official' recording this guy did was on Slayer's Show No Mercy three years before the first DA album.
I love that Ron's favourite DA album is the one he didn't appear on, Darkness Descends might have broken a lot of ground but Time Does Not Heal is still a classic and one of the most riff heavy albums every produced (apparently something like 250 separate riffs on that album).

A lot of good interviews coming out of Australia lately.
I don't know Almighty Punchdrunk or Mechanism. I'll have to check them out.
I'm not sure what it says that none of the bands or albums he listed as his craziest or favorite are from Testament lol.
Hopefully he changes that with the new album. Honestly I've felt his drumming with Testament has had a bit to much finesse not enough brutal. I know he likes to compliment the music but let the guitars finesse and let him do the pounding.

My copy of Almighty Punchdrunk has very poor sound, I figured I'd just been given a copy of a copy of a copy etc but it appears from what Gene has said it was a rare and fairly crappy release anyway. I'll have to dig it out and have a listen but I seem to remember it being a canned audience live type recording. Mechanism is a lot more refined and sounds a lot more professional.
Maybe Gene doesn't see the Testament albums as faves because he had less to do with the entire package. It seems from recent interviews he's suggesting that he just rocks up and plays drums, records when they ask then leaves. With the likes of Devy and everything else he's done I think he's been a lot more involved.

Give he's been with the band so long you'd definitely hope they've given him more room to swing his talents because by the sound of it he has quite a few of them.

From what I can gather pretty much everything other than Testament he's worked on more than just the drums, although I don't ever specifically remember seeing his name attributed to any riff, solo, or tune just the song in general.
