Commented
Don: "So pumped to be hosting
Metal Blade's 30th-anniversary show with quintessential metal warriors,
ARMORED SAINT and a destined-to-be quintessential metal band,
GYPSYHAWK. Gonna be heavier than Honey Boo Boo's mama!"
Added
SACRED REICH vocalist/bassist
Phil Rind: "We are excited to be involved in
Metal Blade's 30th-anniversary celebration.
Metal Blade were the first to offer us an opportunity on
'Metal Massacre 8', which led to a record deal and the release of
'Ignorance' and 'Surf Nicaragua'. Three of the best records ever —
SLAYER's
'Hell Awaits',
D.R.I.'s
'Dealing With It' and
C.O.C.'s
'Animosity' — were all on
Metal Blade. [Label honcho]
Brian Slagel was and still is a huge fan and advocate for metal! We are looking forward to saying thank you to
Brian and everyone at
Metal Blade in the best way possible, loud and fast!"
