Dog Day Sunrise releases a re-mastered version of “Outtayermind” with OAG Management. This version was originally released on the band’s 2003 album “Seasons That Suffer” that was produced by long time industry legend Alex Perialas of Overkill, Testament, Anthrax, Nuclear Assault, S.O.D. fame. The band’s entire back catalog, along with a brand new album is set for a late 2015 release. Vocalist/ Guitarist Matt Zurat explains “We decided to re-master Outtayermind after being away for a few years. Outtayermind had great success in the early 2000’s and we thought it would be a good way to re-introduce ourselves before releasing our new album.” The single “Outtayermind” is available on itunes https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/id990477454.

. Dog Day Sunrise has been tracking their new album both at Cosmic Audio Studios in Frewsburg NY and in Raleigh, NC with legendary producer John Custer. The Grammy Nominated Custer produced several Corrosion of Conformity albums including Blind (1991), Deliverance (1994), Wiseblood (1996), America's Volume Dealer (2000), In the Arms of God (2005) and Corrosion of Conformity (2012), the Megaladon EP in 2013 and the 2014 full length “IX”. The COC track "Drowning In A Daydream " from Wiseblood was nominated for a Grammy Award. In 2014, Custer received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Carolina Music Awards. Custer has been featured on the cover of the January 2014 issue of 3 Dot Magazine which hailed him as “The Indestructible Godfather of the North Carolina Music Industry". He’s also recorded/produced performance tracks with legendary drummer Roger Hawkins of The Muscle Shoals Swampers, Warren Haynes of The Allman Brothers and Government Mule. Guitarist Anthony Manning discusses the yet to be titled album “We really wanted to create something that would be an instant classic. We are throwing modern rules out the window and not caring about what is relevant with the new album. As a whole we are really focusing on getting back to the basics of what Rock n Roll/Heavy Metal is and letting our natural influences shine through. “ John Custer states, “Long gone are the days when humans endeavored to compose superior material that demands superior playing on instruments, as opposed to computer keyboards and executed that equation in grand style. Dog Day Sunrise has dared to stay true to those ideals that are not reliant upon computers. They are true musical assassins who write great material and play in upper echelon fashion.

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious.
