"The Madness Begins..." (promo EP)

1. "Terminator" (4:20)
2. "Hunter Seeker" (2:52)
3. "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment" (1:45)
4. "Blind Leading the Blind" (4:23)

The band's first EP, which apparently was never released on CD except as a promo. I actually had a copy of this CD that I borrowed from a friend, it sat in my desk drawer for several years until one day he showed up out of the blue and I gave it back to him. What a stupid thing to do, he probably didn't even know I still had it. Especially since this thing is so FUCKING RARE that it lists on trader pages for no less than fifty bucks!!! I got this copy at auction for only slightly less...the total cost w/ shipping & postage came to around $35, making it the highest cost-per-song ratio of any CD I have *ever* purchased. Well, that's my punishment for being a nice guy, I suppose...

(The promo CD doesn't include a front sleeve, but a good friend made me a printable scan from his original crappy vinyl, so I can finally justify putting up an image here to show you what the original artwork looks like. :) Oh, and "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment" is a Ramones cover, too.)

"Absolute Power"

1. "Slaughterhouse" (5:21)
2. "Absolute Power" (4:28)
3. "Nice Dreams" (4:11)
4. "Return from Fear" (2:56)
5. "Test the Steel (Powermad)" (3:20)
6. "Plastic Town" (4:58)
7. "B.N.R." (5:17)
8. "Failsafe" (3:14)
9. "Brainstorms" (3:32)
10. "Final Frontier" (5:30)

The song "Slaughterhouse" is absolutely fantastic, and even appeared in the horrible Mickey Rourke film Wild at Heart (kind of odd hearing a snippet of that song in the commercials!!) The next two tracks are also pretty good, but after that the quality drops off drastically. The band disappeared without a trace after this one.
