Looks like theyre doing an Oppressing the Masses set too, although its only Sean Killian left in the band these days isn't it? Will still probably head along, never seen either band so will be good to knock them off the list

World in a world video was the only thing I ever knew!,one of the best metal videos ever.

Exhorder are a band I should love,but they never really grabbed me!

Same, I can take or leave them. Vio-Lence I can't stand at all, his vocals are atrocious.

No lie- picked up Oppressing The Masses from a box of records belonging to a Church parish (they phoned me as they know I collect records). It's a good album.

Killian makes Mustaine sound like Pavarotti. Legitimately one of the worst vocalists to ever be let near a recording studio.

The only time I ever enjoyed a Vio-lence song was hearing Mass Extinction do a cover (Calling in the Coroner, if memory serves).

He's fucking atrocious alright, but I can just about put up with him because I think the music is great. Same with Baloff in Exodus really, another lad that shouldn't have touched a mic

Oh fuck me, Baloff was another clown for sure. How these talentless chancers are tolerated nevermind revered is beyond me.

I think the only song from Bonded by Blood I've voluntarily listened to more than a few times is Piranha as Sepultura did a cover of it.

The rerecording with Dukes on vocals is immense, get on that. Baloff renders the original unlistenable.

From what I've read, Baloff was revered because he was metal as fuck and a full time mad bastard, 100% committed to the scene from dawn to dusk. Everything about him was metal.

His vocals are far from "good", but I honestly don't mind them and have listened to Bonded by Blood to death. It's a banger.

And Angel Dust & Meth!

Baloff's great on BIB, the sheer lunacy of the lads suits the vibe of the album, can't stand the Dukes version at all. Just reeked of a cash grab.

Killian's vocals can definitely grate when you hear them first but the punky yelling vibe works pretty well.

It was Kill On Command that Mass Extinction used to cover.

Baloff was a perfect vocalist but he couldn't hold a note worth a fuck. So what.
