If this happens I may just cry with excitement. They were one of the greatest thrash bands, and they just never got the coverage they deserved, having come some late in the game.

If you aren't as excited as I am, DLG, I'll eat my fucking hat

1. I'll believe it when I hear it.

2. Wish it was the singer from Think This, not World Circus.

Agreed on both counts. That said, I've been keeping in touch with Josh Christian (Can you say "among top 5 most underrated metal guitarists ever"?) on FB and it seems like they're really making the effort. Apparently Brian Bonini is back in as well, but they are without a permenant drummer (I thought they were using the guy from the Rush tribute band in Poughkeepsie, NY originally? EDIT: Oh yeah, the guys name was Lou Caldarola). Hope it does indeed happen, they're from my home area in the Hudson Valley, NY, and it's nice to see bands from the region make a splash. Plus I've been rocking both records for a decade, "Think This" is a desert island record for me.

I really hope it happens. World Circus is still one of my top fav thrash album after all these years.

There Stood the Fence was great, but otherwise I don't think the second singer fit the music any better than the first did. I'd be happy with one, the other, or even an entirely new singer.

My thing is, Charles Sabin at least had some dynamics with his voices on Think This. Mike Sanders pretty much does his best King Diamond screech the entire time on World Circus.
That said, maybe is his older age, he won't be high in the air all the time on the new record.

reunited awesome bands need to step their graphic design game up

or just get Ed Repka to do the art again.

just like psychotic waltz, dude's had the ugliest tour shirts for the reunion. bought it to use as a dish rag.

 

[Ralyks]

I like the new logo, but yeah, they could use some help in the art department. It could change though. As it is, Josh has been saying how he wants to make the live show a whole big production, which I'm interested in seeing how that plays out.

 

[AdamMaz]

Hopefully their second run at a reunion is fruitful.

I hope new material will give me a ha-ha-ha-ha heart attack.

Hell yes! World Circus is such a great album
