      • Hydra Vein Cheers mate! That's awesome and very much appreciated ;)

      • Neil Arnold I'll be reviewing AFTER THE DREAM shortly. By the way, who designed the sleeve for RATHER DEATH... it's awful but in a great '80s metal way!

      • Hydra Vein Hi it's Dan here. I'm sure one of the guys can remember who is responsible for that piece of "art" :D I remember Raw magazine voted it worse album cover of 88'. No such thing as bad publicity I suppose :)

    Neil Arnold Great band...as an '80s metalhead I went into Shades record store in London and purchased RATHER DEATH...on vinyl - bizarre cover makes for great nostalgia - (I still have it) and a few years back bought AFTER THE DREAM. UK thrash kills...I reviewed them on my blog too:

        • Hydra Vein Cheers dude :) We just wish we'd had better production and the right breaks and you never know where we'd be :)

        • Jonny Keith well guys i wish you got bigger and the production was good enough. really you guys are way better than mainstream thrashers like Metallica and Violator. and damn was your guitarist better than Kirk Hammet ;O

        Hydra Vein Best metal mag around at the moment.

        Extreme Views On Extreme Music… Zero Tolerance is the only magazine in the world which represents the views of a like-minded musical collective: an indestructible literary commune of musicians, writers and artists who work towards a single goal – to represent the sonic...ally unacceptable. Our coverage of extreme and experimental music is extremely diverse and completely unrivalled by any magazine in existence: thought-imposing opinions, highly original insights and the blackest of humour branded into 132 glossy pages of militant musical journalism. Does the flowery language of some magazines make you puke from every orifice? Does their incessant, profit-seeking favouritism of pre-determined bands make you sick? Kick em off their high horses. Pledge your readership, your soul and your rifle to Zero Tolerance Magazine, where we cover what deserves to be covered, search for the most obscure, disturbing and sickeningly heavy music in existence and bring you rare trade information from musicians, artists, promoters, directors and many other delinquent professions. Help us annihilate tabloid music journalism and the highbrow, holier-than-thou writers that go with it. Buy it. Read it. Spread Dissent. Thanks from Zero Tolerance. Don’t tolerate the shit.

          James Studt Where can I get a copy of RDTFOF on CD in the states??? I went through three cassettes when they came out, but sadly, the last one died years ago! I would LOVE to have a CD version! PLEASE tell me where to find it!

              Hi James,Thanks for die hard love of RDTFOF.Three tapes!! LOL

              Your best bet is to get it from http://www.plastichead.com/ in the UK and have it shipped stateside. It's still way cheaper than Amazon.com who are charging £40! I think its goi...ng for £4.99+£6 postage at Plastichead. We did have some freebies but they have all gone at the mo' :-(
              Hope that helps some ;-)

          Hydra Vein Damon and Nathan played in Deathwish before forming Hydra Vein. Dan's brother Stu replaced Damon in Deathwish. Top song!
