Additional notes
The band broke up in September 2004, but reformed in 2006.
The ''original''-reformed line-up were said to have recorded a full length album of material entitled "Shellfire And Tombstones" in early 2006, but due to legal issues concerning ownership of the band's name (claimed by former guitarist and co-founder Brian Malone) this recording has remained unreleased. This recording was actually the Blastmaster's debut full length with some songs added, others omitted and some of the guitar solos re-recorded.
