Randy Rose - God of the Left Hand Single

Some how I missed this one. For all the fans of Randy's classic sound, you'll love this one.

Me likey!!!!

Sounds like it could have come off of one of the first few albums.

I think I will get this song and add it to the Witchburner EP download he already has out.

Oh man, that is so good.  A million miles better than Songs for the Ritually Abused which sounded little like him.  Where can you download/buy that and also the Witchburner EP?

You can get it on his bandcamp page.  The song is the "b-side" to the Witchburner single.

I loved Songs For The Ritually Abused!  It sounded like Randy with a lot of other influences, too.

It was a good album.  Just too mellow and clean IMO, compared to his really awesome early work (Sacrificium, Healing).

Those were good albums but he was clearly copying Danzig.  At least with the new album, he did his own thing.

I'm a huge Danzig fan and you're right in the vocals, but I actually think musically he was a lot more interesting and different.  Overall I think he was better.  I do love the style of Witchburner, though, which sees him doing his own unique vocal sound that doesn't mimic Danzig but is still rough and raspy (unlike the Songs album).

I've loved just about everything that Randy has done, with the exception of "Crazy Little World". Last year I decided to go back and took a fresh listen, and still couldn't get into it. I LOVE SFTRA. Sure I'd love something more along the lines of Sacrificium and Healing and this track fits right in there. Lately I find nothing of interest in the Christian metal scene, it's just all stale to me. SFTRA at least had a unique sound to it, and for an independent release was vastly superior in sound. The only negative I found, was trying to sing along to songs that are dark in their subject matter.

Yeah it was a good album.  I think for me it was sunk because I had been listening to the old stuff in anticipation, and the Witchburner teaser track a year or two before SFTRA, and it was nothing like that.  Expectations kill otherwise worthy efforts for me. 

I also tend to get annoyed by bands that change their sound dramatically over time, much less for a reunion-type album.  I tend to think such efforts should always be released under a different name, as people don't buy music primarily out of loyalty to the person/people behind it; we buy music because we like a specific sound.

I still hold the album Into The Unknown as the masterpiece. But I really like the SFTRA album a lot. Different but likeable.

Into the Unknown is pretty good!

Into The Unknown is a masterpiece.  Musically it is better than Healing, but the lyrics for Healing drew me in.  That is still my favorite to this day.
