I'm hoping after all this lockdown stuff is over I can have the ol' band over for a podcast/re-recording of Swords of Sadness. Stay tuned. :)

Why do some bands have success, some are rocketing through the ceiling and some disappear eventually? This band had talent and even a decent singer and they quit and parted ways.

You were a really cool band, man, I really dig the vocals. Is there any way you could upload your demo? I found you guys on metal-archives

It takes me back too, being a teen in the 80's where thrash Metal and the Metal Genre is growing we used to go to these kinds of events with my friends and just mosh too.

Could you do a full recording, really curious how the song sounds without all the fuzz from the video?

I only met two metalheads when I was in highschool around 16-18 yrs old. One got expelled for having weed and the other only like prog stuff like Periphery. I could never set up a jam session because they were so unreliable.

All the band was good, with a good voice. With a bit of luck you could have become big worldwide.

Thumbs up for Overkill being one of your favorite bands. Horrorscope is one of the best metal albums ever!

5:56 Here comes Megadeth inspiration into play...

The 90s were such an underrated time for metal. I wish I had a time machine for this and the Warhammer minis

Seems like you have yet to reach black metal and death metal

this is so inspiring

Yo you guys were fantastic! I’d love a lesson video for Swords of Sadness, respect!

Would have been huge in 1984. Awesome live sound.

You guys sounded phenomenal. Very tight playing from y'all. You could've definitely kept up with name brand groups! Rock On Mike!❤🤘😝🤘

you should all get back together and re-record this, it's killer \m/

Yup there sure is someone screaming, everything's cool btw would be also cool if you could upload another *levels of song* vid I really enjoyed those

Yo, what a sick tune, and you guys played super tight. If you ever get the boys back together, I'm sure there would be some interest, especially since it's so much easier to release independently these days. I'd love to hear it, myself!

Drummer sounds lit, nice riffs, good band, damn!

Long hair days. Rock on!

Love it! You could have been commercially signed. The songwriting is fun and you guys played tight.

1:04 You had an AI do your vocals and rhythm guitar.

Damn y’all were tight as hell, would love to hear more from this

Very cool Mike! Now I'm going to see if I can dig up some old recorded shows. Excellent video!

That's really great that you have coverage from an early gig - something to show the grand children :) and a beer with the old band mates...

You guys are fantastic!! My ears are thankful! 👏👏😁

Yooo , you guys were super tight!! This is awesome

Love your videos man! Glad I found your channel! Awesome band you had, tight as hell with a great singer!! 🤘

You guys sounded great! Brings back memories of going to the "Battle of the Bands" in the early 90's

For a teenage metal band thats beyond impressive!!!

You and I are about the same age. If we had any original bands in high school, they were a well hidden secret from me, and I was more than pretty up on music and the local scene. You guys were awesome! I love these retro videos! I hope you have more!

Fantastic. I did 7th and 1st a few times too. Agree, such a thrill for we talented yet mortal souls.

That’s so cool you are from MN! I grew up in Stillwater and have been to first ave many times.

I rly wanna c u w long hair

What an ending! Even with this sound quality it gave me goosebumps! I would definitely have been going nuts in that mosh pit back then 😄 Very cool 😎 🤘

8:46 ah yes, my favourite Sabbath album

Those riffs are phenomenal. You had like 8 songs in 1. I'm exaggerating but man, very impressive. I'm blown away. Thanks for posting. My teenage band consisted of Jacob Bunton(Lynam, Steven Adler solo, Cinderella, now Mick Marrs solo), Brian Vaughn Jones, and my goofy self on drums. Jacob is a guitar prodigy like yourself. I'm trying to type and jamming to this. Hell yeah!!🤘🤜🤛

Living out your dream must have been an awesome feeling. Something to be proud of.

Bro I love your vids you even inspire me to play guitar more lmao it’s 1:30 am and I’m playing guitar well watching your vids bro

Thanks for hearing my ig video mike. I love ya

All those riffs worked so well together, such an awesome song...wish there was a studio version or something

He's gonna take you back to the past. To play the killer riffs that kick ass!

I got the chills in the first 2 minutes of the video I love your band

Love the growl at the end

those riffs sound amazing!!

If would blast the studio version of this all day if i could!

Dude,you're band is incredible! You lived my dream lol. I'm 58 yrs old and just started back with my Hendrix playing,and some neoclassical metal. You guys are great! Rock oooon brother!

I was a metal junkie in the 80s and still am. A friend once told me" you'll grow out of it,and get sick of it". Well that was 40 yrs ago and I'm not sick of my metal yet. Metal Rules!

I remember you posted part of this video earlier on your channel... it really sounds like a good song

Hell yeah, man! MN native here. Very cool riffs! \m/ \m/

i clicked on this right away on the notification i’ve been waiting for thisss

I think the band and the song were awesome bro. Inspired me a lot

when you first picked up the pace, it reminded me of BOC's tune, "(I'd Like To) See You In Black" for a few seconds

Love the huge ass drum kit. I saw Dweezil on the same stage. So cool!

Just be honored you were on the same stage that Husker Du made famous.

this was really fun to see, remembering me when I was young...

What a great video, thanx for sharing🤟

Is there any professional recording of that band? I would love to hear it.

Inspirin me with this. Hope to play at first ave in the next few years like this!

I don’t even like metal but you guys are really good! 👍🏻

Wow, that's amazing and that moshpit looked great and you guys were really good. Also can you please do a video about being in a band and how to start playing live? I'm 16 and me and my friends only played at football and basketball games last year as a house band

You sound really good, great show for sure! Coincidentally, my band CORMEUM was formerly named SANCTUS.

That's a cool song! I love it! I second the other comment to record the song again

Wow you're singer was really great.

I want that Gibson RD bass. Looks so cool. Btw well done, you and your band were very good. Great performance

Very good stage presence!

Awesome stuff!!!

You guys sound damn good! Reminds me of my days playing out in the late 80`s. You were tight ,and your solo was clean and fast. You holdin out on everyone? LOL. I get it, we don`t play 6 hrs a day now. Ya grow up and life takes over. Bills , a real job and more bills.

Damn dude, you had some hair! Lol. Love the song.

Awesome! I remember these shows. From Mlps area also.

you should get the guys to record their parts at home during this lockdown and release it👍👍👍

You guys fucking slayed that was amazing

Woww,,,,that was too good.In fact bloody damn awesome riffs and the solo. Plus your hair was awesome as well ,just wondering whether u are still in any band. Releasing some of ur recent stuffs would be pretty awesome🤘🤘

I really like that song . Bad ass dude.

very nice...sounds like something i would totally listen too. Not death, not whiny and old school sounding. Yep, sign me up!

This song reminds me a lot of one of the songs from The Crow soundtrack. I'm impressed!

Like the long hair man and hair flips banging man

You guys were actually really good

You guys were 16? Wow! That's killer! You guys were totally pro. Nice

I was in a band called Malignant back then, I think we were on that bill. I remember you guys.

That beginning/ending riff reminds me of Halt by Rammstein. And thats one of my favorite riffs

The riff at 2:51 is great! Can you do a how to video? :)

Guitar sound is huge!

Man I wished I was born in the early/mid 60’s so I could’ve been a teen in the 80’s. I don’t care about not having technology. I live for music and those were some of the most diverse times in music history. Almost every genre was flourishing. I especially wished I could’ve been around to see Metallica, Megadeth, Guns and Roses, Motley Crue and other rock and metal bands come along. I’d go effing crazy to see Sanctus live or Metallica back on the Justice or Roam tour.

Very cool man!

Wow this is way too cool!

This was really good

Wow it sounds so cool! I wish i was there hahah

Please upload the demo, that was actually really good, much better than my teenage band. lol

That's very cool story! Your band was good.

Wow. Just wow. You were so good. I just wish if you released the whole song. Sorry. My grammar is poor today.
