Oioi!
Came across this be accident really.
Mark recently started something new and has a myspace with some tunes up. They are called Face The Unknown - http://www.myspace.com/facetheunknown

He started the band sometime last year, but it never really took off and as far as I'm aware they are no more. His son is one of my best mates so I know all this crap. He was in the band with him for a short while, but left and is now playing in a band with me who are currently in the studio recording and being produced by Steve Hoggart, singer from Thrash/punk outfit 'ArdKore'. Anyone remember them!?

Mark still to this day says they never set out to be a Thrash band, or even classed themselves as Thrash but that they were basically thrown into the genre by critics etc.
Haha although I've only heard that through his son.

Anyway, Marks set a myspace up for Toranaga if anyone wants to remind themselves of the stuff!

Hope I've given you a decent insight!

That's all I know.
If you meant my new band, then it's not really thrash so I'd probably be posting in the wrong forum.

Atom - did you get "Bastard Ballads" ? If not and it's still there, get it. It's well worth it.

Shit I never picked it up, it might still be there though. I did pick up Sabbat's Dreamweaver the other day on vinyl for 8quid the other day though!

Hey this is pretty bloody wicked, just listened to the shrine!

Damn fine band all round!

Now then!
Just thought I'd say the band I'm in with Marks son is now on myspace with tunes up and all that, don't know if this is the right place to post it like.
We are influenced by your typical 80's metal (all genres i guess) but megadeth have been a mass influence to the music, whether or not it comes through i dont know. Here's the link anyway - http://www.myspace.com/dirtiigezturz

Also, I know Mark has got a new band and some new members on the go, and they are looking to gig very shortly, so i'll keep you updated on that!
Cheers!
