One of the side effects of Type O season for me is usually River Runs Red as well. And when I'm getting very hard up near the end of the season I'll have a go of the Pist.on album as well for the faint whiff of Type O it gives off

I played this album to death as a teen, so I only dig it out the odd time. It's a flawless album*, they really were a stunning band.

*Escape is a banger too. Never understood why that tune is considered weak.


Was only thinking about this the other day when it popped into my head that Trapped Under Ice never gets talked about and is never anyone's favourite tune off it.

Trapped Under Ice is also class. The whole album is.

Pist.on passed me by but a couple of friends liked them at the time. Must revisit and see what they are like.

Everything about Ride The Lightning is perfect. It's their absolute best album.

Pist-on is woeful shite, despite having Josh Silver producing it.

I have a playlist with Type O, A Pale Horse Named Death and Pist.on. Pist.on have a few very catchy songs to be fair.

The talk of Rapid reminded me of the somg Rabid, from the album Rather Death Than False of Faith (1988) by English thrashers Hydra Vein...
Tommy Vance (TV on the Radio) used to champion them back in the 80s on his Friday night show on the Beeb.
I see they released a new(ish) album back in 2022 too....
