@kevcaster Is this the first band you've been in?  Pretty dope bro!!!  What seat do you hold in the band?

Check out the promotion I posted RE: ChroniX Radio and let me know if you'd be interested in having me hook you up with my friends there....

https://www.metalforum.com/topic/19024-chronixradionet-your-1-streaming-metal-network/

(the station graphic in my signature is linked to their site also if you wanna "tune in" I'm usually on their chat, like explained in my promotional post).   I'm certain the one DJ that plays the special "METAL" shows I mention in the promotional post would without a doubt throw you guys on his show!!

Keep at it HARD!!! ?

Not my first band. I’m the vocalist/songwriter of the band. We’d be interested in that. Thanks man 

...didn't sound like a first timer...lol!!!  hope you guys stick it out man... you're already pretty damn good!  not for anything I'm not really a music video kind of guy so I did go back and listen a couple times at just at the audio and you'll certainly go places!  video's distract me too much... it's an attention thing with me... you're video was excellent not trying to knock it! LOL

You see the links to the station? Can you come on tonight during their Metal show I'll introduce you direct?  Just to be aware they're gonna ask you to mention their station on your social media and help spread the word too in exchange to putting your track(s) up online... not a bad trade off IMO!  Give them a chance I fell in love with their playlists and if you don't like a song, then you can switch over to one of the other 2 stations! LOL  It's perfect for attention deficit disorder like I am!

Tuesday 6-7 PM Mercury 7-8 Pm Metal Masters  (EST)

The "Mercury" show is probably where they'd slip you in.. that's CJ's Metalcore; Death Metal; Melodeath; etc. etc. show it's normally a 2 hour window but he's bringing back the "Metal Masters" show too so for now he's crunched both into 1 hour segments...

(you're in CA right? we're over on EAST SIDE!!! so you're most likely 3 hours behind EST zone, making tonight's METAL show start by you at 3pm...) it's super easy all you need is a username and password ONLY for the chat part.... no need to put in your email and they don't spam anyone... the station been around long time but went down and my friends resurrected it several years ago trying to rebuild it back and better...I'm volunteering to help them however I can while I'm in between jobs...  If you can't get on during cjuggernaut's show tonight you can always sign in later when you can... the head dude is usually around late too!!!

If you'd rather not get on there we'll understand and you can always email me and we can get you connected that way too:

it's my username here "par9noid"  @gmail dot com, of course...  again on the station I have same username you'll always know it's me by some sort of eyeball avatar too! LOL  If you want to get on now I'm also there and my friend is spinning tracks from FRANCE on their GRIT station.. Look forward seeing you over on the other side or however you'd like to approach this bro!!!  They are all for talent and any kind of rocking METAL!! (so am I!)  If you've been able to preview the site they'll only be able to post an album cover or an image during streaming.... as talented as you are I'm sure you have one but if not I can help you put something together if you'd like... a placeholder until you get something more permanent...

With Brotherly Love for KICKIN Music,

Eric a/k/a par9noid

Thanks for poking me back... look forward to rocking out with you.. hopefully this will help us both!

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious.
