I heard Kingdom - Back to the Farm at 39 minutes.
Earlier I eventually heard something from Teaze??
And at 53 minutes we have Karoline - Sniff l'odeur des camions! Yeeeah!

[doomedplanet]

"Masquerade" I've definately heard before, no idea the band right now.

and of course early & Godly Black Flag - Wasted.

That sounded like a Henry Rollins snippet afterwards. not sure

Correct on all counts gentlemen, please allow yourselves a celebratory slo=mo run 'round the room, 'lap of honour' style.
As usual i'm amazed that the very 1st thing ID=ed is something as obscure as Kingdom, but that's the elevated level of know-how we've come to accept 'round these parts. Bravo!

Yes siree! Tracklist updated accordingly.

That sounded like a Henry Rollins snippet

You're absolutely right, i'd forgotten i'd included a piece of dialogue by him right at the very end. That's from the 1987 'Drive By Shooting' EP by the pseudonymous 'Henrietta Collins & The Wifebeating Childhaters' aka The Rollins Band, but in drag .

Went through three times, but don't have enough time to actually dive into the lyrics. Most of content is of high interest and I am anticipating the titles of some songs with the same rate, esp. the intermission song is really alluring. As said elsewhere, 'kit, cheers for another great selection.

EDIT: Is Protectors Of The Light by CANNON?

Thanks for the kind words & i'm glad you're enjoying the current episode Nenad, and also that the moody intermission ear-snagger caught your attention. Despite it's mellow nature i had a hunch the tone of that song might well appeal to Corrose-ites.
Sorry, 'Protectors Of The Line' isn't by Cannon though.

[Khnud]

"Protectors" is by AXE MINISTER. Really tough one to spot, as it doesn't appear on any official release. Great song though, obviously they started out as huge IRON MAIDEN fans.

Damn, you're good Khnud.
I only wish there was an album's worth of recordings from that era of the band, i love their early sound with that upfront clangy bass.

You give me far too much credit, I'm mostly good at using Google.

Not at all, you still have what Liam Neeson would call "a very particular set of skills".

Is it time to reveal all yet?
It feels like it's time.
