They also have Steve Souza amongst them. I heard a few tracks and it doesn't sound half bad.

And Troy Lucketta from Tesla. Not a name I would have put in the same company of Testament or Exodus, but hey, the guy must be pretty good at what he does.

So Troy plays on the covers of "Iron Fist" and "Cold Sweat." So he's still doing the rock drumming thing, not thrash. I'm still curious to know how he got involved in this project. There's nothing in the booklet explaining it.

Either way, I've been listening to this non-stop since yesterday, and it's an outstanding album. The band name is odd, too. I know it points to Dublin, CA, but the album has shamrocks in the artwork and traditional indian music as bonus music. Weird combo.

Its a sorta average Thrash release. Maybe worth it for collecting purposes but not mandatory by a long shot, IMO.

Troys involvement is basically a friends thing - -actually that was the whole purpose of the "band" to begin with. They were a gang in the early eighties and got nicknamed the Dublin Death Patrol because of their homeparts in the Bay Area. It seems they were a bit rowdy and the tag got stuck and so used when the idea of recording the material came up.

I'd say it's well above average.

Oh, its an enjoyable release from time to time. Im so used to thinking critically that I dont necessarily view average as bad or anything.

Edit: here's the review I wrote for it, BTW:
