Awesome stuff, although I ain't a huge fan of their vocal change and whole demonic phase... They sounded better before. Chucks a fat american indian legend tho.

Anyone else heard Dublin Death Patrol? Project that has Chuck and STEVE FUCKING SOUZA doing vocals in THE SAME BAND!

Didn't impress me that much. I was just blown away by those two guys singing next to each other.

Dublin Death Patrol has been a loose collective of Bay Area musicians for a while, but they've only recently actually got in the studio together.

I actually have the full promo package for the bay area band I4NI Who comprised : ex members of Exodus, Laaz Rockitt, WarningSF and Overkill. Here is a copy of the bio that comes with it:
I4NI, initially called Pleasure & Pain, formed in mid-93 in San Fransisco. The first line-up consisted of drummer Tom Hunting (exodus, angel witch), Guitarist John Torres (laaz rockit, angel witch, warning SF), and bassist Brian Poole (warningSF). The band began working on a 3-song demo during the spring of 94. After completing the demo and doing the rounds in the bay area opening for such bands as Forbidden, Violence & Exhibit A (Featuring alex skolnick - testament, savatage), they met Bobby Gustafson (overkill), and changed their name to I4NI, a band Bobby had originally formed in New York. The new line up was, Tom Hunting, Bobby Gustafson, Jon Torres, and John Wayne Torgussen. The second demo was recorded in 1995. After 1 live gig supporting the Organisation, The band broke up. Bobby moved back to NY, and Jon moved to Texas and reformed Angel Witch, Bobby joined Skrew, and Tom started a band called Wardance with Gary Holt. I believe that this ep, which featured 1 song from the first demo, and 2 from the second, was actually shelved and never released. Anyone know any different???

I have that I4NI CD also (but without the promo stuff). It's not bad. It was reissued by Crooked Records (http://www.crookedrecords.com/) but I'm not sure if it's still available.
Mine has 7 tracks - M.U.D.D., Letters In Lunacy, Fatal Sleep, Rage Within, Vow Of Vengeance, Worm, Harshness Of Reality. I think the first 3 are the '94 demo, the second 4 from '95.

I totally fucking love Testament!
Their earler albums like The Legacy, The New Order and Practice What you Preach were amazing I reckon, then a couple of their albums DID get a little bit boring after that, but then they went fucking awesome again with Low.
I still prefer their old stuff to the later albums, and I think they've got way too many live albums/greatest hits albums etc but still, one of my favourite bands ever.

Also, The Preacher is totally dude awesome!
