Anger As Art?

Anyone heard of a thrash band called Anger As Art? They have a CD called Callous & Furor on Old School Metal Records. Any comments? Thoughts? Comparisons?

Love 'em! I have both of thier albums. Steve Gaines (Stryper's Timothy Gaines brother) is the guitarist. He was also in Abattoir and Bloodlust. I have some demos from a project he did called "Pagan War Machine" that absolutely shred!

Anyways, I love Anger as Art. Great old school thrash.

Cool!!! I have copy on it's way to me.

I've got his self titled album few years ago - the early version, with
rhytm machine, and Steve playing all instruments and vocals. It was
later rerecorded with the entire Anger as Art band. It was pretty good
new thrash metal, but I haven't heard it in years! Gonna play it
tomorrow!

I've seen the singer william at a few parties in the past and he was in a megadeth cover band here in the LA/OC area. His nickname was "fro".

I had a few mp3's from a year or so ago downloaded from Steve Gaines site. Not bad. I didn't know a full cd was available. Let us know how it is, Ult.

i've got it as a download. i don't plan on buying unlesss it comes with something else. not that it's bad, just nothing special to my ears.

I'm really diggin' this CD. The singers voice reminds me of someone, but I can't think of who it is he reminds me of.

The more I listen to this CD, the more I like it. This is thrash metal! Gaines certainly knows how to create some dynamic and interesting songs.

Hey Sideshow,
you have this yet? You need it. Add it to your list.

Saxon,
Do you know where to find the first album?

Not yet, but I've got both albums on my want lists (on SwapaCD and LaLa). Hopefully one with come my way. Saxon sent me one of their songs on the comp swap thing, and I really liked it!

I sent ya that Pagan War Machine, too, SSD. Did you ever listen to it?

You can get the first one anywhere, pretty cheap. Amazon has it for ten bucks.

You did? Hmmmm, don't remember seeing it. Let me look through my stack of CD-Rs and see if I can find it.

CDbaby has both titles (s/t and Callous & Furror) available for $10 bucks each. I checked out some sound clips and have since added them to my wishlist.

It was with the Abattoir demos, SSD.

My friend has one of their albums, AND I LOVE IT! I've been looking around for it, but none of these music stores either has it, or heard of them.

Unfortunately most independent releases are not available in stores. You'll have to buy it on the web. CDBaby is a great place to buy independent music.

I don't want to hijack this thread about CDBaby.com, but they're really awesome. I placed an order on Thursday and had the package in my hands the following Monday. Axewielder, you'll have better luck finding this cd on-line, however, you'll need a credit card or Paypal account. I don't know if that's an issue for you because of your age.

Well, maybe if I beg my mom or my dad or something.

Picked up their latest album "Hubris Inc.". Anyone checked this out yet? Good old school thrash metal.

I piked this up too and I am enjoying it a lot! Chatted with Steve Gaines a little on facebook today as well!

Steve sent me those demos about 10 years ago. He also sent me something called Pagan's War, as well as the No Sleep til Kalamazoo. Have not listened to any of them in many years. Might have to dig them up today.

Pagan War Machine, I guess it was called [by looking at my previous posts under an old screenname].

Very cool band and very good friends! One of my favorite newer thrash bands of all time but they are all veterans in the metal scene too. Never can get enough of this band!

Just getting into the band. Ordered their latest today on amazon. I loved what i heard so far.
