Muss mich jetzt sehr zusammenreißen, um nicht das ganze Büro mit meinem freudigen Geheule und Gejaule aufzuschrecken. Was für eine überragende News und was für eine sinnvolle Reunion
Jetzt noch ein Album im Programmed/YFG-Style und ......
@Oli: wenn LETHAL jetzt nicht bald auf dem KIT spielen, muss ich wiederholt zum Bon Scott äh Boykott aufrufen und glaube mir, ich will das wirklich nicht
Jetzt kann von mir aus sogar eines unserer geliebten Nachbarländer Weltmeister werden
LETHAL, the legendary power/progressive metal band that released the classic "Programmed" album, as well as the critically acclaimed "Your Favorite God" EP and "Poison Seed" releases, have broken 10 years of silence and reformed. LETHAL have reunited with the "Your Favorite God/Poison Seed" lineup of Tom Mallicoat (vocals), Dave McElfresh (guitars), Eric Cook (guitars), Jerry Hartmann (drums), and Glen Cook (bass).
LETHAL is currently rehearsing for upcoming live dates, as well as writing material for their new album to be released in early 2007 (with a full tour to follow).
The Kentucky-based LETHAL was founded by Tom Mallicoat and the Cook brothers, Eric and Glen. In 1990, after the arrival of drummer Jerry Hartmann, Metal Blade Records released their debut album, "Programmed," which was instantly proclaimed a progressive/power metal classic the world over.
In 1994, LETHAL independently released "Your Favorite God," a 5-song EP (featuring new guitarist David McElfresh) which immediately sold out. Your Favorite God showed LETHAL going in a heavier direction, with such outstanding songs as "Waiting On The Kill" and "Hard To Breathe."
LETHAL's last release, the album "Poison Seed" (1995), set new standards for progressive metal bands with its sheer musical brilliance, which featured "Down," "Walking Wounded," and the title track.
And soon, their forthcoming live performances and new album will solidify LETHAL's place amongst the power/progressive metal elite.
