Lethal Creed - Raise The Blade

[twangmang]

I used to like listening to you guys rehearing in the garage while I was bar-b-que ing in the driveway. I thought San Juan was crazy off his ass. The rest of you were cool though. I live in Montana now. Hope you are all well.

@twangmang Ha! Those were the days, huh? I actually used to live in Billings. The last time I heard from cousin Toni, that's where she was, also. Coincidence? BTW, you taught me how to play the lick I do @ 2:17! I learned quite a few things from you over the years.

Thanks again, Kevin.

THe guitars are badass, but I dont like the vocals.THey just dont fit for me.

[snakepitguy]

It could be interesting but the vocals...they just don't fit.... too bad cos I always liked alot the SF scene back then.. BLOODBATH, TYRANNICIDE, VOMIT, DAMNAKLEEZ etc etc so many bands...

I use to roady for Lethal Creed make in the 80's. They put on some good shows.

[Flealan]

The recording sounds like of some of Death's Recordings, COOL!

[skok65]

Wow! That is one of the greatest compliments I've ever received.

Thanks a lot.

Awesome vid! The severed head is worth 5*****s alone!

[MuyGordito]

That is a crazy cool song. It is a really interesting combo of some vintage sounding guitar doing modern riffs. I love that crazy lead too it shredds!!!! 5*****'s

[skok65]

Thanks! It was written and recorded in 1985.

[MuyGordito]

Wow now that is interesting. 1985 I think of like Dokken and Ozzy w/ Jake E. Lee and this sounds sort of like the next generation influence of Metalicca OR Megadeth. ahead of it's time even! That makes it even cooler!

[skok65]

Thanks. While we were definitely influenced by Megadeth, Exodus and the 1st 2 Metallica albums, it seems lot of people were writing really heavy music at that time. I've always felt it was more of a reaction to the hair "metal" bands than a fusion of punk (which I didn't listen to back then) and NWOBHM. I played "The Battle" with the guy who wrote it in a (slightly poser) band (Don't Tell Anyone!) in 1982-83 and he let LC record it. Thrash spontaneously combusted in a few places at that time.

Sounds great

[shDwfthSUN]

The guitar-playing reminds me of Megadeth, but the singing is like Johan Liiva from Arch Enemy

Interesting video
