Savage Thrust resurrection


Well, we had our 1st meeting (in 20 years) of the original line-up of ST last friday. As can be expected it was a love & laugh fest. I lost my voice and was sore from laughing to the point of crying at some of the old videos and stories. Some of the footage we screened will be included in the forthcoming release.

But the general gist of the matter is: We ARE going to write and record 2 new songs for the official Savage Thrust compilation CD: "In Savage We Thrust" ...this will be 2 discs, one CD & 1 DVD with ultra-rare live performance footage, stills, and more!

As some of us have not been playing for some time, (including moi) it will take a while to practice and re-build some "chops" as they say.

We hope to be in the studio in January to lay these tracks down.
(I know it sounds like a bad comedy plot...you know 5 older guys decide to go "middle-aged crazy" and start telling each other..."Hey-whaddya say we start up our old heavy metal band from the 80's??!!"...)

but it's gonna happen...


In other news, Jimmy (our bass player) has re-worked the logo and updated the look a bit (nothing drastic-ya don't fuck with what works) and it looks way cool see?! And you can download the ultra-cool new logo wallpaper @ savagethrust.com now!
