Since this site is dedicated to the more unknown artists, I almost didn't put this up, but I've run into so many QOTSA & Foo fans who didn't know about TCV that I made an exception. This is one of those albums that will take on a life of its own. Cheers and thanks again for stopping by the Sonic Abyss:) Thank you for the comment, and I hope you’ll come back again and visit the Abyss.

I think they fit into a tiny sliver of bands that get an avalanche of hype based on something other than the music, but definitely live up to it, and deserve every bit they get. Awesome clip.

I really appreciate it. You can nab my logo off of the DEMOLISH site if ya' like as I noticed that you have logos listed for the others. If not - no biggie. Thanks for the nice Demolish Blog compliments too. Memories from the good ole' college days! ha ha. STEEL CIRCUS = def. a 80's metal name and now that RUSTY CAGE -must be a left-over from when GRUNGE took over (maybe a nod to the great SOUNDGARDEN tune with the same name)... There were several college Metal stations around here as well back in those dayz. Anyway, I am off to dig in the vaults to see what other goodies I am going to post next. Rock on!

Very cool site with tons of stuff (Toxik, Candlemass, Acid Reign) that brings back memories from my college days at LSU when I started a metal radio show called Steel Circus. Now THERE'S an 80's metal name! lol I think it's called Rusty Cage now, and it's cool that it's lasted all these years.

Not many people mention Jerry (from KING's X) but he is a solid sticksman! Of course if you are going for chops and sickness then T.Bozzio will win hands-down, but I actually prefer: John Stanier (Helmet, Battles)! Nice choice -god I used to jam on HELMET all of the time back in the day. Very precise and machine like BUT with such a monster groove and killer sound. He always plays a perfect/catchy beat. Being a drummer of 20 years I still play "air-drums" in my car when I listen to HELMET. Check out my freshly-minted Metal blog called DEMOLISH Magazine. I will post a link to your great site, hopefully you will do the same for another Metal bro! http://demolishmag.wordpress.com/ Take care and rock on! Curt King Demolish Magazine Chicago http://demolishmag.wordpress.com/ Nice blog and great DRUMMERS list.

Actually, I do. You should read the section of the website entitled "Abysmal Law" and it will all make more sense. In the Sonic Abyss, Abysmal is a GOOD thing. However, by happy coincidence, Abysmal has more than one meaning: <strong>a·bys·mal (ə-bĭz'məl) adj. 1. Resembling an abyss in depth; <em>unfathomable</em>. 2. Very profound; limitless: <em>abysmal misery</em>. 3. Very bad: <em>an abysmal performance.</em></strong> Remember...the Sonic Abyss is all about fun, and wordplay is prevalent:) Cheers! LOL…
