Rai #1 throwback trade dress

Post by GammaJosh »

Pretty pumped about this! We asked around and this was wildly more popular than a virgin cover, so we went with the throwback trade dress. I love it!

Cover is by Paul Pelletier. This is only available through the current A Sound of Thunder Kickstarter campaign. Also comes with a single for our new song about Rai with lyrics by Dan Abnett. If we get enough backers, we're going to add a free Rai picture vinyl single for everyone! Come on in! The water's fine! \m/

Looks really great. I signed up. Looking forward to the new music!

Today I listened to Blue Cheer's cover of Summertime, which some refer to as the first metal song. I don't know about that, but the album its on is pretty damn good.

Good stuff! I can get behind that label. I can't think of anything that heavy or aggressive from before 1968!

If you enjoyed that, check this out from (I believe) their 3rd album. Not quite as groundbreaking as Hendrix and Zeppelin were out at the time, but man this slays! https://youtu.be/DkA3L3Bnn84
