Why doesn't this band have its own thread?

Was actually listening to Above The Ashes earlier. They really need to do a LP, and play a few shows outside of the bay area.

 

[Climb Thar Hill]

little prick...stonewalling me

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

who is this band you speaks of?

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

They used to be the most amazing thrash band that nobody'd ever heard of. Then I spent three months spamming forums with praise for them and circulating mp3s. Jon Torres still owes me a drink.

Anyway, they were a Bay Area thrash band in the mid-80s that never made it, mainly due to personal issues. In late 2003 their demos were remastered and repackaged as the Above the Ashes compilation, which is just an incredibly fucking thrash album and well worth listening to for anyone who likes, well, metal. They've since reunited and been gigging around northern California. And I've totally failed to see them live.

I honestly don't find them to be anything more than 'pretty good.'

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

^ that means they are badass then

[Krigloch the Furious]

well so far after hearing two songs in shitty real audio format Im liking this.

The song Above the Ashes is one of the best thrash songs I've ever heard.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I'm related to Stonewall Jackson.

I think that's easily their best song. The second demo is definitely much better. After many repeated listens, I think that especially the first demo starts to unravel and you how how frail the structures really are, and the vocals get a bit shriekily annoying. Honestly, though, I need to give it another listen, but I don't think that I will be altering my opinion much.

Links? MP3s? They sound intriguing, I want in.
