Vengeance (US) - Way Past Go / Driving Force 7'' (1983)

Requested by Sgt. Kuntz among others, here's the Californian heavy metal band Vengeance with their sole single, released in 1983.

A-side is a quite anthemic mid paced number with sort of a high school feel to it.
B-side is a wild double bass drum scorcher. Reminds me a bit of MANIMALS, at least vocally. Absolutely superb stuff, if you ask me!

Sorry, no cover scans. The scanner's at work, and I'm on vacation. I might get back to fix this in a few weeks though. Oh, and there's apparently a copy for sale on ebay at the moment, if you happen to like this one.

Thanks Khnud, for the rip as well as for the link. I'll try my luck...

But I'll keep the mp3s anyway.

If you are bidder v***v( 1497), than your prediction is 100% true.

Edit: I think the seller has more than one copy, he also sent a second chance offer. If anyone wants that single, maybe he should ask him.

Yes, the seller has multiple copies available. I do not think any of his copies have the lyric insert with them. He got $42 for a copy last week, $63 this week, so it's hovering around the $50 mark, which sounds reasonable to me.

good single, I like both songs, though one side is obviously not very metallic

I'm also missing the insert... Starting to suspect it was a promo only type of thing. If anyone has a copy of it, please upload it in this thread!

I'm a bit curious as to which bastard downloaded this single from this forum, and put it at the "Bounded By Metal" blog, just one day after I posted it here.

He/she could at least have had the decency to ask permission first. I'm sure I wouldn't have objected.

You'll find that pretty much everything posted here quickly shows up on BoundedByMetal's blog.
He does the same thing with every Metal forum and blog out there, including mine.
He d/l's other people's files, then re-ups to linkbucks or the like, meaning he actually gets paid for the work of the original ripper/uploader/musician!
To share music you're enthusiastic about is one thing, but to turn a profit by stealing the work of others and passing it off as your own is pretty low in my book.
I doubt he's ever ripped an album or demo himself, if you look hard enough everything he's ever posted has come from another blog/forum, usually a day or two later.
That's why the id tag on every mp3 from every album i upload to my blog is modified to insult this tosser, i like the idea that he then spreads these files saying "BoundedByMetal is a thief" or (usually) much worse.
It's irritating as hell, but unless he's registered here as "Bounded By Metal" i don't really see what can be done about it.
End of rant.
That's just my point of view, maybe every one else is fine with it, i don't know.
Probably most don't care.

Bounded by Metal was shut down at one point; I guess he's back up and running?

I doubt it's a regular Corroseum poster, just someone who signed on to d/l stuff. I guess things like this are why DaN has periodically purged the non-posting 'members' registered here.

I guess breaking out torches and pitchforks really won't help in this matter... man, I never get to start an unruly mob

If you're up for grabbing some flaming torches, doing some incoherent shouting and storming a castle i'll come along.
How many people constitutes "a mob" anyway?
