Wow. That artwork is terrible. But who knows, the music might kick ass. At least Ripper's behind the mic....

Ripper Owens is involved in so many side projects/ bands I am having a hard time keeping up, I'll have to make sure to check this band out.

That's my primary reason of interest here. Richard's a great drummer and he's got some talented musicians with him, as well. But if it was an unknown singer or a growler, I'd probably pass. I'm always interested in hearing Tim's vox.

Why, oh WHY did he not stay with Beyond Fear? That band had so much potential, and if they are able to write tracks like Scream Machine and Save Me, I think they could have written a great Sophmore release. John Comprix is an animal on the ol' axe

Shoot. I was hoping there'd be a song or two on the MySpace page but it sez "Coming Soon."

A clip of the 1st single 'Ghost Town' is now on there.

Meh. It almost sound like Owens is singing over a different song than what the band is playing. Like it's 2 different songs mashed together, if that makes sense. His vocals sound good though. He's got some pipes, for sure.

I also read on Blabbermouth that there will be a itunes /Europe-only bonus track of a Powermad cover song 'Nice Dreams'.

wow yea i see what your saying. the music is awesome though.

Seperately, the music is good and the vocals are good. Too bad they don't sound like they belong together.

yea it was a bit odd. I'll probably buy it though. I need some new fast music and this seems like it would do the trick.

BUMP!!

Charred Walls of the Damned released a video for the 1st single, 'Ghost Town'.

I dunno, I'm still not completely sold on that 1st song, but it's growing on me the more times I hear it. I'll probably still pick this up at some point, just for the talent involved. I like Owens vocals and Richard's a monster drummer. That's him in the gasmask by the way.

We should see if we can turn Mr. Bump into an emoticon. That way anytime someone "bumps" an old thread they can stick him at the top of the new entry.

It seems appropriate. Before I opened your original thread, I thought that's what "All Hail Mr. Bump" was gonna be. Some new emoticon, not a toy. Nice job by Spec too.

I just copied it from another website.
