Hmm. Old school "D" logo, Grim Reaper lookin' dude ... looks thrashy to me.

it is a cool looking cover but they did use the old school D logo on As Above.

Aw crap, you're right... Thanks for pissin' in my Cheerios.

The one song I heard is sure to please old school D fans. Only thing that sounds like more modern D are the vocals. Jimmy isn't doing those higher pitch vox like he did on Weapons. The song was played on a radio show today. Seems like people were liking the song. People at the CMR are saying good things.

Just heard the new track. Beastly!! Sherlock is absolutely insane! And the breakdown/solo...... Shocked

Jimmy sounds great here too, a little like Eli from the Sacrificed which is a great thing. And its Thrash!!

I am pretty surprised to be honest. The song is pretty good.

Agree - good song and I was surprised. It's more trash than anything they have done in a long time

Sounds pretty decent actually!

I could only get the first :30 to play. The player kept skipping and pausing. The opening riff sounded promising though.

It happened live on the show. The song kept on stopping and skipping to the beginning but eventually they were able to play it through.

This sounds pretty good to my ears, fast forward to about 4:30 left in the podcast and you can hear the song in its entirety.

The song sounds good very reminiscent of the early era cant wait for the album

Liking what I'm hearing. The addition of Jayson Sherlock on drums is a genius move.

Sounds killer! Can't wait for the full release!

I was pleasantly surprised at As Above So Below. It was D's heaviest since SOE. And this seems to continue progressing from that. Vocals sound awesome. They're definitely returning to their roots.

That is sounding great. Looking forward to hearing the rest of it.

I think the whole Lineup is genuis, Jimmy shredding on the heavy lead guitar, with Mr Mike Phillips backing him up also an awesome guitarist, Mr Manny Morales on Bass and Jayson Sherlock on Drums I had goosebumps when I originally read this. I would love it if this album does well and they can tour Id love to see D live again

Are there people who would put Jimmy before Phillips as far as guitar skill? Is that the case? I kind of thought that's what was missing from pretty much between Learn and AASB.

Depends on what skill you are talking about. Mike is a shredder and can play very intricate stuff, fast and technical solos and such. However, Jimmy is an incredible rhythm player and can downpick quickly and accurately. In this category he is quicker than Mike, or so Mike has told me.

Jimmy is definitely the better rhythm player. Just listen to the early Deliverance albums vs Mike's solo record.

Interesting. I never knew that. I also didn't realize how much JPB played in early deliverance. I thought it was mainly Rogers and then Philips.

No, Jimmy has always had a guitarist doing a lot of the lead work, it was Larry Farkas (early demos), Glenn Rogers (first album), then George Ochoa (Weapons & Joke), then Mike Phillips (Stay and Intense Live Series), then Jon Maddux (Learn/River Disturbance)...Mike Phillips came back for "As Above, So Below" and their latest. In between River and As Above Jimmy went through any number of guitarist and keyboard players including guitarist Marcus Colon for a spell.

I listened to the track again and I think it has a lot of potential if the music is similar on the rest of the album.
