| Brilliant! One of my all time favorite albums. A bizarre mixture of thrash metal and 1970's metal influences (Zep , Deep Purple, Kiss, etc.) that somehow just worked. I love it!

| For those who don't know, Scott Waters of Ultimatum is now singing with the original four members of Vengeance in a new band called Once Dead! They have a new live DVD out and they play songs off this CD, as well as Once Dead. They are also scheduled to play Cornerstone Festival this summer!

| One of the best thrash metal discs ever. Very addicting riffs, sick drumming, and insane vocals by Roger Martinez. AND MOST OF ALL IT'S THE HEAVIEST CHRISTIAN METAL CD OF THE 80's! (It actually came out in 1989 not 1990!)

| It makes me wonder why Doug Thieme, Glen Mancaruso, Larry Farkas, and Roger Martin all left vengeance at the same time to form Die Happy. Is it because Roger Martinez's lyrical aproach was shifting into the satanist/atheist values that he's into now? I havent heard their last two records and I really want to finish my vengeance collection, but if the latter two albums Destruction comes and Released upon the earth are bagging on Christ screw it.

| Stender. Do yourself a favor and buy the Once Dead - Return with a Vengeance DVD. The interview portion of the DVD is awesome and explains a lot about the breakup of the band and why the original four members left. The concert footage is great too. Doug Thieme, Glen Mancaruso, Larry Farkas, and Roger Martin all back together and playing the classic Vengeance Rising songs.

| Yo, Jesse thanks for the tip bro I'll look into that DVD if I can find a copy.

| Stender, there are a couple copies of the Once Dead DVD on Ebay. Girder Music has copies as well. The original 100 copies were hand numbered and autographed by the band. A total of 1000 copies were pressed but they are still pretty easy to find right now. It's a great DVD and jesse is right, the interview portion is very informative.

| Hey, thanks ultmetal I checked out Girder and am planning on ordering one when I get the cash, I'm also interested in your new ultimatum album. Unless I guessed wrong you're scott from ultimatum and once dead, right? if so your page 'no life til metal' is rad man.

| That is correct. Thanks. Let me know what you think of the DVD and/or the new Ultimatum disc when you pick them up.

| I must say, I'm appalled to find out that Once Dead is not the same band as on the DVD. I read that they're suppose to record a new CD, but 4 of the 5 members from the DVD are no longer in the band. Only 1 original VR member is left? There are more members of Hirax & Fasedown in the band now than VR. No Larry Farkas on guitar? Even more frightening is that they hired a metalcore singer to replace ScottWaters. I thought you did a brilliant job on the DVD. In the words of Deliverance, What a Joke!

| Hey jesse. Sorry you are disappointed with my exit from the band. However, I don't think you will be disappointed with Devin. He is a powerhouse vocalist. It is a bummer that Roger Dale, Larry, Glen and I couldn't record with the band, but since Glenn Rogers and Doug Thieme are doing the writing, I doubt you will be disappointed. These two guys wrote most of the material on the first two VR albums. Give it a chance before you dismiss it.

| Yeah, I was kind of disapointed with the way things unfolded for the band also. I havent heard any Fasedown or Hirax material probaly because I've heard it is labeled as metalcore but what ever, I'm sure those musicians will greatly contribute to Once Dead as Ultmetal said. Also Ultmetal, I ordered the DVD and Into the pit, this is really the first time I've heard any of your vocal work but I will let you know how I like it when they come in.

| My bad I just said that Hirax was metalcore, There actually a thrash act.

| Stender. Facedown was metalcore. Hirax is a kick-butt thrash act! If you like the first Deliverance or Vengeance Rising, you'll hear a lot of similarities. Glenn Rogers wrote most of the material for those records and for Hirax. If the new Once Dead is as good as Hirax's New Age of Terror, it will be a good album. However, I am still disappointed they went with a metalcore vocalist instead of Scott Waters and the fact that Larry Farkas is no longer involved. Frankly, I feel ripped off.

| To be honest, no one was ever kicked out of OD so, unfortunately, if you feel ripped off, the band can't really do anything about that because each member left by the virtue of their own choice. Devin may not be a straight thrash vocalist, but the man has a voice that carries a modern thrash approach which will allow the band to be accessible to fans of modern metal.

| OD started as a Vengeance Rising reunion/cover and as many original members had other commits, it took on a different flavor and is it's own entity. Fasedown had two different sounds from one album to the next, including two different vocal styles.

| In reference to my post....I'll correct in reference to Scott, the choice was made by the band due to the sheer logistics of distance and the effect it would have on recording. That's what I understand to be the case. Anyway, OD does in fact have two former Vengeance Rising members.....Thieme and Rogers.....Glenn Rogers wrote the music for songs on Human Sacrifice, in particular - Human Sacrifice, Burn, White Throne and Beheaded......and to be honest, barring the last track, are instantly recogn

| Into the Abyss!!! One of several examples of 'Christian' metal being as raging and punishing as anything in it's 'secular' counterpart's catalogue. Stands up to anything from Slayer, Sodom, Celtic Frost, Destruction, etc.
