So, turns out the guitarist (Rhea Thompson) left the band after having been replaced for upcoming tour shows without notification on top of some serious SA allegations against the bassist (Thomas Hewson). Not exactly sure what to make of that but it's disappointing to say the least. Source: https://www.loudersound.com/news/tailgunner-guitarist-rhea-thompson-steps-down-2026
Looking forward to see where Rhea Thompson puts her talents next as I think she was a real highlight for me on this record.
Appreciated :D it may also be because they're German and in Germany 'we teip wiss an akzent'. The official page calls it a running order (the thing that they don't provide in a printer-optimized form yet) and I didn't care to check for synonyms.
Thanks, much appreciated!
Might have better luck posting on !metal@lemmy.world buddy. This community is for discussing specifically the subgenre of traditional heavy metal, not a general metal discussion community. More likely to find an answer on there, it is much larger also. Safe travels 🤘.
Idk if it’s bc I’m an American or a concert noob or what, but I had to look up what a running order was lol. I understand it as setlist or schedule😆 Anyway, hopefully someone can help! :)
Ma pleasure and I agree, some hidden gems there. thanks!
Solid fucking recc dude. Thanks! I wasn't quite sold on this album alone, but the previous album is actually really good lol.
they’re a nice band.
check out: ’Welcome to the Night‘
Holy shit ikr. Was just jammin to this on the way home from work and figured heavy metal could use some love lmao.
New top post within hrs, congrats 👏.
“The body bags and little rags Of children torn in two. And the jellied brains of those who remained To put the finger right on you. As the mad men play on words And make us all dance to their song. To the tune of starving millions To make a better kind of gun.”

Best concert I ever saw... smallest crowed of the tour, only 5k people. Absolutely amazing.
Water. Water everywhere, but not a drop to drink...
Based on some quick out of my ass research this album seems to be a reissue from a previous record label before splitting up and reforming. I'm super grateful its on Tidal lmao.
Yeaaah! Wooo! 🤘 One of the great early nwobhm bands. @Myr@lemmy.world is this a re-record of a demo or debut or have I completely miss-remembered? I seem to recall one of Blitzkrieg's finest performances being on a demo cassette and not on most streaming platforms.
Man, I know. I'm just driving along to work in the dark morning before sunrise, in a haze, and this comes on next in the daily recommends. I'm thinking, okay, some decent atmospheric black metal instrumentation, but with heavy metal songrwriting and those guitar rhythms? What the fuck? Then the voice sent it over lol.
Nice find.
I'm digging the way her voice comes in on top of the instruments. Can't quite explain wy
Holy shit! I need to check these guys out ASAP! Cheers mate.
Preachin to the choir on all accounts my man, love Fear of the Dark, especially the Rock in Rio version!
I have soft spots for Fear of the Dark and Brave New World (Bruce's last before leaving and then his return) but they reached the heights of Powerslave or Beast.
Truly the end of an era.
The last of Maiden's god tier albums.
Thanks for the post mate! Killer stuff!
Appreciate the immediate post, brother! This sounds dope, big Saxon energy.
