Such a underrated band! Stricken by might fucking CRUSHES!!!
Question is if they did any demos?

Post by **DaN** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 2:55 pm

No clue about demos, but if they did I'm all ears!

I've loved "Stricken By Might" since the day it was released. Shame on the dire follow-up though..

I love Stricken By Might. I need to get the regular vinyl release...

I did a quick first listen recently to Sicker Than I Thought, not too impressed, not that bad either, but I think it lacks severely from the charm of the debut

Like the logic of this grading list.
My vote would be 2.5) V. EXCELLENT.
I gather V. means Vaguely?

I've never understood why some are so psyched about this album.

Probably somewhere in asia wrestling against tigers for money. (Mr. Palma vs. Nasty Ronnie would be a match of the century!

)
Guitar professor of Axehammer plays nice tribute to "Slayer" in "Stand Up And Fight".

I always loved this album too. They kinda' reminded me of a melodic (at times) SLAYER! They do have a myspace, so maybe someone could contact them there. It's www.myspace.com/exe1 If that doesnt' work, you can google it....that's how I found it. I actually got in touch with Rui Tavora a few years ago (can't remember where), and he said he thought it was great that people actually remembered them, and still like their music. I'd like to see Laurent do an interview with them for a future Snakepit. Still haven't heard Sicker Than I Thought, so don't know about that one.

Love this album too. The track Slayer just rules!!!

"Slayer" and "Fatally Wounded"!!

What makes this album so special, is that you have a really good thrash metal band with some power metal influence ("Warchild", "Metal Hell").

I wish I knew more bands with that kind of mixture.

Oh doG yes.. one of the greatest Speed Metal Anthems of the 80's

Am I getting senile or did only one member from SBM remain on STIT? That would explain why it sounds like a completely different band. It's either that or the bermuda-shorts.
