Brian Slagel has always had a gift of finding these bands, some obscure and unknown, but talented. Then others have gone on to superstardom and we forget about these hidden treasures.
Programmed album is a MASTER PIECE absolutely.LETHAL is the most greatest band in heavy Metal band to me .I love this band forever ,especially Vocal !! Perfect !! from Japan .
He sounds just like him. I've just discovered this band and immediately I was trying to figure out who he sounded like and Geoff Tate was who I was thinking of. Thanks for your post.
Recently, the chorus of this song popped into my head for some reason. So I had to try and figure out the song, of course. And I'm so glad I did! Great song. Sounds very much like early Queensryche.
Haha, I'm in the same boat, only I remembered the fretless bass intro and little else. Upon wrecking my brain, I remembered enough of the lyrics to google them and am VERY happy now to have rediscovered this gem of my youth.
A song that would have had a place in "Operation: Mindcrime" from mighty (in this period) Queensryche. Great great song. Intense heavy metal the way I like it.
Darn!!!! What a crap passed through my players over past decades and I missed that top class band!!! I was crying to find such bands and believed I've heard all top class bands of that sort...Music industry was so cruel!!!! Immediately fan!!!! \,,/ \,,/
used to take lessons with Eric. Remember being at the album release and buying five copies so I could hand em out to friends and family. Only found out about Eric a few years ago... sad stuff.
Amb tot el que estem vivint avui dia... aquest tema ha cobrat molta actualitat: "Just like a prisioner" ... "I sit in my empty room"... "I'm inmune"... 30 years old and this song it's now fully trending
was blown away by the programmed album back in the day, sounds a lot like queensryche, i think they hold their own though, great band, shame they weren't promoted more by their label and grunge was starting so victims of the times they were.
Absolutely more like Tate or even Midnight. Programmed was such a killer record. Still is. The video is quite awful though. But that's the way they were.
Killer album. Killer band. Killer vocalist. I was really disappointed when Queensryche decided they were going to continue on after Tate that they didn’t pick this dude. I always felt this vocalist had the perfect Tate vibe without sounding like a clone. I think their post Tate music would have been much better than it is.
Willem-Jan van der Groef this is off their 2nd album. First was arrival debut 2nd programmed, 3rd your favorite god then poison seeds. Check those out along with crimson glory albums
LOL this dude is an exact 1:1 copy of Geoff Tate's voice, there is literally no difference. Kind of makes you wonder if Geoff Tate is the actual singer and they just hired an actor to pretend to be the singer. Of course that probably isn't the truth, that would be harder to pull off live and completely unnecessary when they're still performing it live within the last 10 years even though they're not famous. This is heavier than a lot of Queensryche songs though.
Lol, bad retro!?? This is the orginal video from a CLASSIC album released almost 30 years ago! This is from an era when Metal Blade Records actually released quality metal like this.

After all these years, this is still one of the best songs I have ever heard. Thank you, Tom & Lethal
His voice is a combination between midnight (crimson glory) and Geoff Tate
He sounds just like him. I've just discovered this band and immediately I was trying to figure out who he sounded like and Geoff Tate was who I was thinking of. Thanks for your post.
What a band, what a song and I love Tom Mallicoat's voice
A perfect mix between Queensryche and Sanctuary!
Classic! These guys are from Kentucky... my favorite kind of "Southern Rock"!
Damn, I never even heard of these guys until this one showed up in my feed just now. I'm blown away!
I remember the first time Riki Rachtman played this on HBB. I had my TV cranked so loud it woke my mom up at 2 in the morning. Good stuff.
programmed received in german metal.de 10 of 10 points. one of the best albums of all time
One of my favorite bands
Tommy , Eric, Dell and the boys kicked ass! Saw them locally many times
Fantastic band! Great tune, killer solos and Tom's voice is one of a kind!
an Ode to the 80's style of metal. I like it . keep it up and remember metal will never die and refutes your attempts to put it in a box

Tasteful and intelligent music

A song that would have had a place in "Operation: Mindcrime" from mighty (in this period) Queensryche. Great great song. Intense heavy metal the way I like it.

Amb tot el que estem vivint avui dia... aquest tema ha cobrat molta actualitat: "Just like a prisioner" ... "I sit in my empty room"... "I'm inmune"... 30 years old and this song it's now fully trending

Had no idea that there was a video for this. 🤘
so geoff tate had a spiritual son !!! great ...
They use to practice nextdoor to my uncle's house in erlanger ky
Lawd have mercy.... 🤪🥵🔥🔥🔥
sounds like a combination of dio and queensryche. thats my opinion! wanna fight about it?
was blown away by the programmed album back in the day, sounds a lot like queensryche, i think they hold their own though, great band, shame they weren't promoted more by their label and grunge was starting so victims of the times they were.
A combination between Kiske and Geoff Tate...
I here the Geoff in him.
Throwbacks. Not so bad eh.
Good band, having on top the Queensryche influence.
he sounds like michael kiske
Nima Nikpour Geoff tate
tate and kiske also sound the same
maybe minus the gemran accent
Absolutely more like Tate or even Midnight. Programmed was such a killer record. Still is. The video is quite awful though. But that's the way they were.
Sounds like Tate mixed with Midnight. Leaning more towards Tate.
is like old Queensryche, TATE...
👍👊🤟
Killer album. Killer band. Killer vocalist. I was really disappointed when Queensryche decided they were going to continue on after Tate that they didn’t pick this dude. I always felt this vocalist had the perfect Tate vibe without sounding like a clone. I think their post Tate music would have been much better than it is.
Yeah but Todd is a beast so if this guy got the gig there be even more passed off fans.
1 OF THE GREATEST METALS SONGS OF ALL TIME😊

Vintage Queensryche!!
Wow seriously? I just found out they have music videos
