RSTVA JEBE KEVU

[Ivan96M]

GREAT! That guitar intro really caught my attention, awesome. These guys are great.

[Brainthrasher]

Along with Toxik adn WatchTower, best thrash/tech speed band.

[erieri123butafly]

one of the best underrated bands ever

[OmniscientVirtuosity]

that Jackson is Badass, But What the Fuck is this? Smh

[goodygoody23]

I can't decide if I like this more or less than Charred Walls' cover

[inflames1965]

there where also an ep availble!

Great one.

[chreld]

I remember wanting see these guys at first ave in their hometown. I was too young though. Still one kick ass speed metal bands of the day. This album is really good and stood its ground in the ranks of the successful titans.

[reigningbullets]

Close my eye's and drift away, The passing of another day.

Leave the day's despair behind, In my bed I finally climb.

!!!!!THESE GUYS SHOULD BE HUGE!!!!

[AoLIronmaiden]

Ima go buy me some sweatpants :D

Fuck ya haha

[atckogreenway]

almost be the nice song of the world

[pvbranson]

They are back together and have a new video on YouTube called Souls Descending. Check it out. You can fond them on Facebook. Look up Power Mad.

The singer, Joel is a pretty big guy. You might regret punching him. Lol

[ejd715]

@pvbranson the new song is AMAZING!!!!!!!

[jumpfart666]

Killer!!!!

[kalandrinon]

what means the bull fighting (corrida) on the video ?

[kalandrinon]

what means the bull fighting (corrida) on the video ?

[Bassbait]

They're not fooling me! They aren't even plugged in!

[enix165]

@Bassbait The singer is, as is the bassist...xD The lead guitarist is hardly visible but I'm sure he is too. Anyways, I don't know how these guys never got big, they sound incredible, and they certainly seemed to have been on the way, they were in a movie and this video doesn't seem to be exactly low-quality. Did they just break up or what?

[Bassbait]

@enix165 90's hit, and every thrash band deteriorated. The 90's was a bad period for thrash, as it branched off into crappy pop metal and extreme Death Metal. Only a few bands, such as Sadus and Testament, were able to continue throughout the 90's without becoming horrible. Powermad probably quit because of personal or touring complications, but they're back together. The late 80's was a period where anybody could get popular from Thrash, but The Black Album ruined that for a LONG time.

[heavymetalhead]

what a great fucking song. man does this bring back memories of 1989/90... 16 years old and heavily into thrash and power metal.

[steelwizard]

Can someone upload that in HQ please?

[onlysupermetalhead]

WOW!!!

[Wszachta]

kickass

[jaytheguitarnut]

Lol you hate him because he did your girlfriend haha !! and this band has elements of thrash and heavy metal , quit trying to break the gods of metal into these buttlover new age genra's ... they dont fit !! this band was a great find in the 80's and was truely one of the greatest unsought bands of the era.

As for thrash anthrax and suciadal tendancies were thrash !! Dont mix them up !! lousy modern moron music critics !!!

[LORDGOAT1976]

Great band, but for some reason when I see the singers face, I feel like punching it, not sure why but I do, must remind me of someone I hate I guess lol.

[GilucZ]

@LORDGOAT1976 I feel the same way, bro

[GilucZ]

@LORDGOAT1976 @LORDGOAT1976 I feel the same way, bro. He simply looks like an ass

[Davetopay]

The greatest thrash band that no one knows about....



[TheAtomicDon]

Cheesy as shit!

[Winger6277]

I love everything about this band!

[TheGoldenPS1]

NOTE: Most bands on Metal Blade Records with parent labels like Enigma and Restless were always US heavy/power metal bands. The entire catalog of Lizzy Borden's albums of the 80's, Helstar, OMEN, Fates Warning, Liege Lord's Master Control, Heretic's Breaking Point, etc, etc.

[ElectricEyeJP]

I have been listening to metal since I was a freshman in high school 6 years ago, this is the first time I have ever heard these guys.

Badass

[johnnyharp69]

one of the best thrash / metal albums ever!!

[banatwarriors]

@johnnyharp69

I would not say that this is THRASH METAL... Pure HEAVY !!! \m/

Listen to a group called VIOLATOR! They play THRASH METAL !!!! \m/

[TheGoldenPS1]

@banatwarriors Powermad is definitely thrash metal. If you haven't listen to their album "Absolute Power" how can you be so sure then? This band is so much thrash you can get. Bands like Heretic, Agent Steel, Metal Church is not thrash metal like someone are saying. Heretic is your typical US power metal, Agent Steel is the classic of melodic speed and Metal Church had some thrash influences on their first album but in general they are a heavy metal band with speed/power elements.

[cuzman18067]

@banatwarriors listen to terminator by this band trust me they are thrash my friend ive been listening to thrash since the early eighties and this band is an unknown jem!!

[raulgonz100]

@banatwarriors Powermad is melodic Thrash Speed Metal! Violator Agressive Thrash like Sepultura.

[GregoryDSelwah]

Wow this brings back memories! Awesome!

[Fektthis]

Got to love a band that wears sweat pants to a video shoot instead of leather in the day and age this was released.

[rockerhandal]

I'm still loving this Band since I was in High School...!!!

[SexyTriggerMan]

I've always loved, and still love, this song ever since I was a youngin' it kicks too much ass.

[MetalBback]

Powermad has resumed touring as of 2007 and are working on a new full-length CD to be released. Spread the word Google em powermadness com

[billspreston1213]

who did this song 1st??? i thought this was an original by CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMMED.

[Death8498]

@billspreston1213 Powermad is the original version. Richard Christy is a big fan of them and wanted to do a cover of them, so they covered this.

[mvunit3]

This is probably their most melodic song, but its got that catchy melody and the musicianship is soo damn tight. But I recommend anyone that is not familiar with them to checkout 3 songs from the same album, "Brainstorms" , "Return from Fear" and "Final Frontier", I wouldnt call them "Power" Thrash but "Tech-Thrash", those songs were WAAAAY ahead of their time :D They WERE working on a new album but their MYspace page sadly seems abandoned :(

[scrotube]

This opening riff and the high pitch scream - Fuck it's amazing. This song never gets old. Plus the First Ave shirt - weren't they from Mpls.?

[Briannicus]

@scrotube Indeed they were from the twin cities. The beginning of their video for the song Terminator displays the Mpls skyline prominently.

[irolis]

That Jackson V in crackled finish,my god o_o

[uwebiernacki]

@robboPSV

Your opinion is wrong!!!! :-P

The only better version than this is the original Demo version from 1986!!!! :-)

[TigerDragon20mil]

is that god or merlin or someones grandpa in that bed?

[robboPSV]

Damn, this is crap. Power thrash my ass. Like the charred version way better

[CMF1606]

Blimey! I like this band! I'm like massglims, I've never heard of this band before, but they're awesome!!! \m/

[mongo426]

thnks for posting i didn't even know they had a video cool.

[blitzspeer]

Reminds me of staying up with anticipation for Headbangers ball.You had to get through the shit like poison and Bon anchovi until you got to the late hour gem's like this.It was always nice to see Nuclear Assault and VoiVod too.

[BeerSlayer]

@blitzspeer

Thumbs up x 1000.

[007EVK]

@blitzspeer Ahh shit...I am having a flashback! I was such a HBB fan. This is classic.

[AORCrazy]

@blitzspeer this and bon jovi for me comparing to new music is the same, hard'n'heavy music at it's best, take "hear" around nowdays and you'll see that i'm right, naturally i'm talking of old bon jovi...

[xHeadbanger1000x]

Power thrash, badass

[AORCrazy]

I remember when i first heard this band back in 1994, man i was preaching everyone about this in my town. This is for me one of the best bands i ever heard! It's absurd and strange how this world works, you have Metallica who are mega popular and on the other hand Powermad who are eons better than them but yet unknown, sad!

[88mpny]

Still got this album on cassette tape. this was my favorite song on it. it was interesting to me to have this album when it first came out and my english teacher taught us about machcavellian's "power corrupts but absolute power corrupts absolutely." thats exactly whats happening with our pathetic ass gov't. 2010...

[TheDoctorOvSilly]

Yep, I got the cassette too, lol. Other tracks are not as catchy, but there is a few more that are good on there.

[dlz124]

POWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWER FUCKING MADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[Ravnus1]

Powermad opened for Overkill on the Years of Decay tour .. Epic night !

[sludgedisciple]

Saw them live back in the day, they were awesome.

[ironfistist]

[Nirbeer]

AMAZING SONG

[TYLERBECKER94]

This song is so badass I have listened to it at least 1o times already since I found it yesterday

[bevil4aday]

I had this on cassette in 87. These guys kicked ass! Loved the whole album. Slaughterhouse is a jam two-fold!

[steveharrismetalgod]

[axelorde]

METAL RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[arregi80]

[Exumer1986]

Great thrash band and great vid greatly underrated

[WildWeezle]

I'll always remember them for this song/video and for appearing in "Wild At Heart" with Nicolas Cage & Laura Dern. Such a messed up movie...perfect for this band to associate itself with!

[joshlockwood69]

Powermad really need to be more recognised

[StraitJacket4Two]

[dosemeter]

I remember getting "The Madness Begins" on cassette when I was a kid....definitely topped alot of bands at the time. It created that "Here's a band I'm going to listen to for a long time" feeling.......never happened.  (sighs)

[Megadeth72]

[smizzman]

These guys would have went places if Producer Tim Bomba and warner bro's hadn't messed with their sound and ruined a good thing ...if it aint broke dont fix it !!!
