I love Raging Slab. Legend has it the husband and wife guitar team of Greg Strzempka and Elyse Steinman met on the streets of NYC in 1983 (10th & 3rd) and discovered they had a lot of common musical influences including 70's hard rock as well as punk bands like Ramones, Iggy Pop and Black Flag. So of course they formed a southern flavored hard rock boogie band. Not sure where they were originally from, I've read Pennsylvania and I've read Washington DC but I don't know if either of those are true. They got signed in the late 80's when record companies were all searching for an east coast GnR. But after their self titled major label debut they had a rough go of it with their record companies. They were stuck between the hair band era and grunge, but fit in with either. They had 2 albums rejected by RCA and then they put one out on Def Jam American who then refused to release their next one because they couldn't see any commercial potential. The band didn't want to make hit singles or repeat themselves making the same album over and over again, they wanterd to be quirky so they stubbornly stuck to their guns and their relationship with DJA atrophied, but they weren't ever officially released from their contract so they had to wait it out and could not release anything for the next 7 years. They never really recovered from that. Now they're just an obscure band from 30 years ago with a small dedicated cult following. Besides being a fan of 70's hard rock and punk and southern boogie, the other reason I feel a connection to Raging Slab is like me Greg and Elyse were born in 1961, and like my wife Elyse succumbed to cancer in 2017. You said you'd like to see more "Slab" related names, you might be amused to learn they did have a private home recording studio which they dubbed "Slabby Road." RAGING SLAB IN AMSTERDAM 93 PART 1

I listened to a bit of this because of the name. It sounds exactly as the band photo looks and is not my thing at all of course. It's really well played and nicely produced though. There should be more slab related band names.

Finally back home in New England. Great to see my folks. My mom made some clay pumpkins for everyone to carve, which she'll fire for Halloween, and she also worked on a chess set with me for my son the monster. Listened to some music, ate some real BBQ, drove through seemingly endless countryside, had good mead. The drive back was horrendous but the visit was worth it.

Looks awesome, Rexorcist! A solid list of metal classics and favorites.
