Driver "Sons of Thunder" set to release

The long awaited Driver "Sons of Thunder" is set to released September 26 on Metal Heaven Records. Rob Rock and Roy Z teamed together to record this full length release featuring rerecordings of the 1990 Driver EP and several all new tracks.
I fondly remember this one. Coming on the beginnings of the Nirvana explosion this is one of those bands that never quite got off the ground. I can't wait to get my hands on this disc. My cassette copy of the original demo is long gone.

Driver Release!

According to blabbermouth, Rob Rock's early 90's project with Roy Z, Driver is finally going to see the light of day. Metal Heaven is going to release a full album of completely rerecorded songs. Driver made a name for itself playings gigs in both Connecticut and the sunset strip, but never landed a record deal.

Driver released a cassette only EP containing 5 songs in 1989.

New adds.

Got a few new CDs in, mini reviews to come within the next week or so. Vigilance, a metal band out of the Pacific Northwest has re released their demo from the late 80's remastered. They play traditional heavy metal with some high pitched vocals.

Sardonyx, the ministry minded band hailing from Pennsylvania has had Majestic Serenity re released by Retroactive records. Sardonyx plays traditional/power metal with bold lyrics and a vocal approach I would compare to Savatage. The disc is completely remastered and has Sardonyx's 4 song demo Rebel of Reason as bonus tracks.
