Most definitely! I heard he had dropped out of HoM though? Metal Archives lists him as an ex-member, too. Shame.

I feel like I've stepped into the wayback machine and reentered the golden age of metal. Slough Feg has captured the catchiness of bands like Iron Maiden or Judas Priest along with guitar riffs of Tommi Iommi-like proportions. There is no shortage of standout tracks on this one: Tiger! Tiger!, Frankfurt-Hahn Airport Blues, Dearg Doom (an amazing cover of the already amazing song by Horslips), and Poisoned Treasures are all absolute killers. I know there are a few fans of Hammers of Misfortune on this board, so I urge you to check this album out. As far as I'm concerned Mike Scalzi (the lead singer / guitarist of both bands) has once again proved himself to be one of the most talented and interesting songwriters on the scene right now. |
