If he could pull a few Show No Mercy and Hell Awaits style riffs out of his arse it might have some chance but unfortunately it's just going to sound like the last few Slayer albums minus Tom.

Chain in Blood.
South of Woodies.


Has Anselmo announced his involvement yet? Or is he trying to build suspense?

Surely that ship has sailed? I'd say auld Phil would've been all over it a few years back but surely the cash cow of the Pantera reunion and murmurings of some Down activity next year will prove too much.

My money is on Rob Dukes. Cheap + Meat Head Tough Man = Grand Job.

I've listened to a 2 hour conversation with Rob Dukes and Zetro on Zetro's 'Toxic Vault' channel, and I think he comes across as a fairly sound lad. Totally different to what you might expect from his on-stage persona with Exodus, and he explains how that all came about anyway. The guy is actually a total nerd. Check it out you might be surprised.

He was the least shit singer Exodus had, they've never had a good one. Shame they got rid of him.

I'm holding out for a Corey Taylor - CMFT level fall from grace. Go big or go home :laugh:

That's the part I'm most curious about, is it going to be hired nameless goons or will it be actual names?

Evil has No Chain Boundaries

Err, Piece by Piece.

I was wondering about this myself. On the one hand, will he want to have big names with him to draw attention and bring songs to the table, on the other hand will his ego dictate that he'll want all of the limelight for himself? Judging by the fact that he's going out under his own name and that 'logo', I'm going with the latter.

Think of it as a balance sheet. Big names cost money but also generate money. Small names the opposite. I'm sure he will maximise his profit.

Bostaph has already confirmed he's involved so that's one big enough name, probably get another one in for vocals and then a random bassist and second guitarist

I wonder who'll be on bass and guitar? I reckon Phil Demmel from Vio-Lence could be the second guitarist.

That's a good shout, and possible I'd say. It'll just be shame he won't let anyone write anything.
