Just read this. Sucks.

Hope he recovers fast.

Another fantastic track:

Another band I lost track of quite a few years (and albums) ago. Their debut was and is a certified banger tho.

They have recently released a box set containing their previous albums on cd.

Highly recommended. I couldn't resist buying it:

Riding On Fire: The Noise Years 1997-2004 https://a.co/d/1zkzxCc

I have all the albums in that set already except Unification.

...so it probably wouldn't make much sense for me to lay out the $$ for it just for one album.

Also, the band recently posted on their social media asking their fans NOT to buy that set, cuz they didn't authorize its release and are not getting any payment from it.  Noise Records still owns the rights/publishing to all their old shit.

That's why so many artists/bands have been re-recording their oldies over the past several years. Back in the day, they signed shitty record deals with labels who own their masters/publishing, but don't keep the material in print, so the band gets nothing from it.  If they re-record old stuff, at least it puts it back out there.

(see: Voivod, Manowar, Iron Savior, Suicidal Tendencies, etc.... shoot, even Taylor Swift is doing it!)

I was crazy i guess, picking up the box set despite owning all of the albums. But i am an Iron Savior freak, so I had to get it.

Just learnt that the box set wasn't endorsed by the band!
