When I heard the song I thought it was definitely from outside of America. It's too good to be from USA.

If you never heard this song before, it has the original drummer from Black Sabbath, and the vocalist from Fear Factory, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree.
Avatar 3:49am
MissEevie:

I thought it sounded like Burton!
Avatar 3:50am

SweetMelissa:

Perfect!
Avatar 4:14am
MissEevie:

I think the big difference in our metal tastes, Bill, comes down to this simple fact. Yours - Well understood lyrics. Mine - Anguished wails and gutteral moans.
  4:15am
king Adam:

that Toronto show was the closest they came to me , wanted to go , the vinyl I have from them are treasures
Avatar 4:16am
Bill Zebub:

Miss Evie, I will astound you with agony in an upcoming show.
Avatar 4:17am

I wasn't there either, sadly. My brothers band got quite the review though. This woman just bashed him and his (I will admit, very crappy) band.

Avatar 4:18am
MissEevie:

Odd, mine tastes have only got darker and heavier as I get older. It seems very opposite in most people.
That would be amazing!
