I have been having some trouble with the On This Day in History content this week, so it is coming later today.
Here is one that I was planning on posting yesterday, but Wayne got Metallingus for his birthday instead (what a sentence!).
Stone Vengeance was one of those really great bands that were in that early east bay thrash scene, but never enjoyed the success of some of their peers. Formed in 1978, they were one of the first (possibly THE first) African American trash metal bands. They came back and played a few shows and released a 2x-CD retrospective about 15 years ago and it looks like they just played a show a couple months ago. Nice to see.
It looks like some of the recordings here might have been released later on- either through the Double CD thing I mentioned, or on early demos… but I don’t see the last 2 versions released on anything else. You should listen regardless- the band absolutely rips and huge thanks to Chris Eng for preserving these tapes for us to hear.
